What do you like best about Handbid?

Loved how fast the service reps would reply to my emails. Always very kind and patient with me on what I asked. I will say we will never return to the individual bid sheets again. Our parents enjoyed bidding from their phones and told us how much they loved the "little voice" saying "Oh no" when you had been outbid! Handbid takes the work out of an auction and does everything for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

Honestly, there are no downsides to Handbid that I can think of. We enjoyed everything Handbid had to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We didn't have any major problems with Handbid Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Handbid?

The software itself is excellent, but the people that have been helping us and answering questions along the way is what we have appreciated most. Thank you Elise and your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

It is difficult for the older generation or those unfamiliar with apps to understand everything they can do inside of Handbid.

I would say the payout process took longer than expected the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Many problems. We don't have to collect cash at our events, we don't have to keep paper tracking of auction items, and it is very easy for people to check out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kristen Wheeler of Handbid

Jordan, we are so happy to hear that our software is making your event easier, and streamlining your guest experience. We are always here for you!
