Proxibid works with auctioneers all over the country. Auctions may be timed events, they may be actual auctions with on-site bidders, up to and including live feed so you can move item to item with the crowd, or view items as they cross the auction block. MAKE SURE THIS AUCTION WILL SHIP BEFORE BIDDING, many of their auctions require you to pick anything you win up. They will NOT ship!

Have dealt with Proxibid through Rebel Auction in Hazelhurst, Georgia extensively, as in tens of thousands of dollars of goodies purchased... Tractor, skidsteer, mini-truck, 2 trucks, implements for the tractor, implements for the skid steer, log splitter, tools... Bought it all on-line, some of it has been real good, some of it not so good. Business dealings have all been on the up and up. Rebel auction requires cash or check, checks must be accompanied by letter from your bank verifying funds available for the amount of purchase.

You will have to have a Proxibid account to bid on-line. That does require a credit/debit card to sign up, along with contact information.

I’m familiar with the auctioneer, but I’ve never messed with online auctions. I wonder if there is a live event to go along with the online stuff?

In my experience, most of the time there is a viewing day you can attend.

Is the viewing day an event where I can whip out my wallet and start making the Mrs hostile?

Unfortunately no. It is however a day you can see things in person so you don't buy a pickup bed load of plastic chair tips that you thought were the cutting board feet you use because you are old and can't see the little pictures online good enough. I mean, that's just an example I came up with, not like I've ever done that before.....

Plastic chair tips... like the kind you hammer in to keep chair legs from scratching floors? Might be interested.

No, literal caps that go over the metal tip of old chairs. No kidding, there were at least 5000 packs of them. Donated them to Habitat for Humanity, hopefully someone can use them.

The ones I bought were made by the same manufacturer that does the feet I use for my boards, in the same packaging. Didn't look close enough....

Click on an item and scroll to bottom of page... View Terms of Sale Doc. Everything you want to know is there. And...

You don't have to wait on viewing day, soon as you sign up with Proxibid you can start making the Mrs hostile. Bidding is open on those items now if you sign up and log in.

I’m just trying to figure out if this is an estate auction and/or if I know the family in question. There are only about 50k people here, so I was trying to find an inside track.

They may tell you who's stuff it is if you contact them doc. Rebel auction runs a consignment auction once a month, get goodies from all over. BIG auction, 3 rings at times, all going at one time. Equipment and vehicles will start 9 am and frequently runs till midnight. The other two rings will run 3-5 hours. Several million dollar sale there each month.
