I am joining the huge tractor and trailer auction hosted by Proxibid at the moment. I joined the live bidding app, clicked the "activate bidding" button and everything was ready. Then when the auction goes live and I click "bid 22000" or similar, I get a window saying "this bidder is not approved" even though I clicked on "get approved to bid" several days ago (just like I do on other Proxibid auctions) and it DOES say "approved to bid". So I guess you should contact someone in order to be able to get these super deals, but who?
Auction might be good but just like the cheap auction car I bought it has problems. You got money or skill to fix them? I've thought about the auction trucks but to drop that kinda cash on what could be a paperweight I can't do
Update: It happened again. Proxibid said that I won the auction but minutes later it says a lower bidder won. I was approved as bidder and everything. Seems as if some mafia people are controlling Proxibid and you need to have connections in order to win the good lots? This time it was with another Proxibid seller so it seems as the problem is related to Proxibid, not with the auction company selling on there.
Update: On todays large truck auction by US Auctioneers they did NOT run the same scam as on previous Proxibid auctions. Trucks and trailers sold for more than double compared to other Proxibid auctions a couple of months ago. $85,000 for a Freightliner Cascadia with 526000 miles (more than 300% of what I paid for mine in August). 53 ft dry van trailers without leaks going for $56,000-70,000. Official prices, that is. Who knows what the ACTUAL buyer ACTUALLY paid.
