Jonathan's Terrible !!!
Spoke to a very rude auctionear named Jonathan. Only asked him if he could take an offer to the finance company as i can purchase and collect it immediately and he became so agressive and accused me of stepping over the line. He talks of doing this job in his 50's but upto date not learnt the art of actually selling the product !!!!

Be careful and do your research
What went wrong?
Lack of communication after a complaint.
What can they do improve?
Support customers who use the platform and audit their auctioneers on the platform so that no one ever losses money on products which are not even worth the paper it’s written on.
Advice:
1. Any one looking to buy a vehicle should use trust pilot and any review sites before making a purchase. You be surprised and horrified after I noted what was so so true about a recent purchase.
2. Check the vehicle over and list any thing wrong with it and compare to description.
3. Read the auctioneers terms and conditions as bid spotters terms are different and can be misleading and you will get stuck.
4. Don’t buy a vehicle or product which continually appears for sale again and again. There is a valid reason for this as I have now worked out why.
5. If a description in the terms and conditions states private plate is not included. Don’t touch it. If it states images are used as an example or similar don’t touch it.
There is a huge list. I will never mention the auctioneers details where I had an issue as bid spotter should take some accountability. Having to loose the amount of money I did in this current climate is totally unethical. I would never want any one else to loose money.
Advice.
Buying from an auction is a huge risk. Please do your home work. Do not risk a deal. Not worth it.
Bid spotter needs to respond. They have no customer service experience.

Registered to bid and received acknowledgment that I was registered and able to bid.
Bid on an auction of roof tiles was asked to confirm the bid amount which I did but my bid wasn’t acknowledged meaning both myself and the seller lost out 😡

I've had to go to small claims court against an auction house on Bidspotter. Bidspotter will threaten and bully you if you do not pay, but they will take no action against fraudulent auction house which they list on their website. Dixon Landscapes has scammed me over £320 as they refuse to answer the phone for me to arrange to collect the goods.

Asset Auctions are incompetent
Asset Auctions are incompetent, Nigel tells more lies than Tom Pepper and will gladly lead you down the garden path for weeks. Items are not as described so it looks like you're getting a bargain until you realise the item will need serious investment to be anywhere near useable. It's a wonder the council haven't revoked auction licensing and they haven't been removed from bidspotter. Just look at the previous reviews!!

items added to my invoice that I never bid on !!
I have bought few items from an online auction through Bidspotters and at the close of auction there are another 5 ityems added which i never bid on. Ive contacted the aution and been advised to contact Bidspotter. Spent hours tyring to sort this matter and noi one can help, all I get from Bidspotter that I have bid on these items. I have asked for a complainr process or a details of governing body but all I get from Bidspotter is a template email which doesnt answer any of my question. I had to pick up the items and pay over £200 and just cant do anythinhg about it. Socking service and no customer service help at all.
