HiBid
Visit HiBidHiBid is the bidding software built by Auction Flex and used by hundreds of independent auctioneers across the United States. Many county sheriffs, municipal fleet departments, and state agency consigners use HiBid-powered auctioneers to liquidate surplus, which is why a search like 'PA HiBid' or 'CA HiBid' usually returns dozens of active local lots. BidProwl pulls the active government and agency-related auctions from HiBid across all 50 states, combines them with lots from GSA Auctions, GovDeals, PublicSurplus, Municibid, and 26 other sources, and lets you filter by state, category, ending time, and deal score in one search. Use the state pivots below to jump straight to your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HiBid used for?
HiBid is the online bidding platform built by Auction Flex. Auctioneers use it to run timed online and webcast auctions. Many independent auctioneers handle government surplus, estate liquidations, county sheriff sales, and municipal fleet sell-offs, so HiBid ends up carrying a lot of government and agency lots.
How do I search HiBid by state?
Use the per-state HiBid pivots below (PA HiBid, CA HiBid, IL HiBid, TX HiBid, etc.). Each one shows live HiBid lots filtered to that state, alongside lots from the other auction sources we cover. Searching HiBid directly is harder because the platform lists nationwide auctioneers by default.
Is HiBid the same as a government auction site?
Not exactly. HiBid is the bidding software, not a government agency. The lots you find through HiBid are run by individual auctioneers who often have government clients. So you can find police-fleet auctions, sheriff sales, and municipal surplus on HiBid, but you can also find estate auctions, farm dispersals, and commercial liquidations.
Does HiBid charge a buyer's premium?
The buyer's premium is set by each individual auctioneer, not by HiBid. Most government and agency lots on HiBid carry a 10 to 15 percent premium on top of the hammer price. Always check the lot's terms before bidding.
