### 1/5 — Fraud

*2025-11-24, version 1.1.3*

Trying to buy equipment, such as a skid steer, make a bid, hours and days before the auction starts, then when somone makes a $500 higher bid, they immediately sell it, minutes later.  Yet, it’s hours before the auction is over and you have no chance to counter bid.  

Its fixed.

### 1/5 — I’ve been patiently waiting for them to fix the app for 4 years

*2025-07-21, version 1.1.3*

Search function doesn’t work,  just sits there and thinks forever. Everything is slow. 
It’s difficult to sort searched by location. I have been just waiting hoping one day they would fix it but they haven’t. I think the search quit working 4 years ago.

### 1/5 — App is outdated

*2024-12-23, version 1.1.3*

Every time I get on the app to check auctions watchlist or try and search for an item I just get the circle of death.

### 1/5 — User friendly app would make big change

*2024-10-08, version 1.1.3*

The app is very bad, and I dot think you understand what good app would change the game for your business. You really need to improve it and you will see huge change that will make for you !

### 2/5 — Search Tool woefully inadequate

*2024-07-20, version 1.1.3*

You can’t filter any more specific than country. 
That makes searching nearly useless. 
Search on the website and add to your watchlist.

### 1/5 — Rebuild this app

*2024-03-27, version 1.1.3*

This app is outdated and unusable 
Please fix

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-08-30, version 1.1.3*

Deleted this app within 5 min of trying to navigate it. Love the website, but the app needs a complete tear down and reboot.

### 1/5 — Border wall material

*2023-08-21, version 1.1.3*

It’s sad to see our government still not this material when it should be finishing the border wall with it
.
Joe Biden will destroy our country and this is just how he’s doing it open borders means defenseless lines we need to protect our own and not take care of the worlds unwanted.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2023-07-27, version 1.1.3*

Absolutely terrible when trying to bid on items or search for items. Been this way for years..

### 1/5 — App Not Modern

*2023-07-18, version 1.1.3*

App needs major updating.
