(Original )Information
What do you like best about Handbid?

The software is very user friendly! Someone without a lot of background knowledge in technology can use it. I also love the customer service. Always treated like the most important customer. Having the ability to have someone on site for the first event provided me comfort because change is never easy. Since I'm a one man operation, that support staff helps me tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

They've fixed some of the issues with limited items this year, so not a lot of dislike. They are always looking to improve and like suggestions. If something goes wrong, it is fixed immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Handbid:

It's amazing. The Handbid guide helps answer any questions you have about the product, and even if you can't find it on there, the response team is quick and answers any questions quickly. They also offer on site support for your event which I highly recommend for at least your first year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting our auction to the world has been very beneficial. Prior to Handbid, we averages around 30k at our fundraiser. Now, we are averaging over 100k! People at the event like it a lot better than having to always leave the entertainment to check on the items as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
