HammerDown Auctions

Kathy DeMelle

First auction experience and loved it. I bought my very first car here and what a great car! A belt was missing that's it, $9.95 and I had my 1999 Mercury Cougar coupe for 4 years! Now I need something that doesn't sit as low more into comfort instead of sports car. I paid $1000, great experience!! Cool people!! I'll be back!

Don't waste your time bidding on cars here. The auction at the end of August had 200 cars and they only sold 5. The 2nd chance auction featured 150 of those cars and when you get a winning bid they say SOLD but it is NOT a sale because the owner can reject your bid simply by not sending you an invoice and you have to wait 2 days to find out. The sellers have unrealistic reserves set for top dollar retail. Proxibid shows you a list of your "PURCHASES" but you actually did NOT purchase anything. All they did was waste the better part of 3 days of my life.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME BIDDING. The site doesn't say it but there are reserves on ALL CARS. I wasted half a day yesterday -bidding on and winning two car auctions. I was notified by Hammerdown I won, and on my Proxibid site that I bid through-they listed me as winner. Yet when i tried to pay for the cars I was told they had to contact owner first. I waited and waited-Finally-the NEXT DAY I was told the owner would not sell unless i paid what amounted to 3 times my bids.NO WHERE DOES IT SAY THERE IS A RESERVE ( hidden in their special terms they mention that if a car is designated W/C or willcall that owner has the right to reject any bids that he chooses. NO WHERE on my auctions did it state this was a W/C or willcall item. Yet they refuse to sell me the cars. In their terms they clearly state all sales are final and lists rules buyers are required to follow, yet even though your auction isn't listed as a willcall they have the right to REJECT ALL BIDS unless they get what they want. After spending decades at auctions (live and online) I have never seen this-ALL REPUTABLE AUCTIONEERS will state in description there is a reserve so you know prior to bidding. Bottom Line-unless you want to pay top dollar for your car-you are wasting your time on this site. I think the legality of their bait and switch tactics should be legally investigated as fraud. SO BEWARE AND AVOID THIS SITE-

My grandson worked and saved his money, he went to Hammer down , brought a car there , two months later the transmission went out. Now he is without a car and money. I spoke with the owner and there’s nonthing they could do for him . What are we teaching our kids?
