How to Bid in Cabinet Solutions Live HiBid Auctions
Buying remodeling materials at auction starts with a little preparation. Whether you are looking for a kitchen cabinet set, flooring, tools or equipment, use the current lot listing and event terms to decide whether the purchase fits your project. This guide explains the process for Cabinet Solutions Live buyers in North Carolina, South Carolina and beyond.
1. Open our HiBid page and choose the event
Start at cabinetsolutionslive.hibid.com. Check the event date, time zone and auction format. A webcast has live bidding led by an auctioneer. A timed online auction follows the closing times shown in the catalog. Do not assume every event closes the same way or that a preview time is the bidding start time.
2. Create your account, add a card and register
Sign in to HiBid or create your account, add a valid credit or debit card, and complete registration for the specific auction you want to join. An account alone does not register you for every event. Read the terms, finish the registration steps and check your approval status before bidding begins.
Keep your contact information current so we can reach you about your purchase. If you encounter a registration problem, contact us early rather than waiting for your lot to appear. HiBid provides its own registration instructions for platform questions.
3. Read what one bid buys
Check the lot number, quantity, dimensions, condition, included accessories and any pickup restrictions. A photograph may show several items while the lot description offers only one. For flooring, confirm whether the bid applies to a box, a pallet, a square foot or the entire listed quantity. For cabinets, compare the actual cabinet list with your room plan rather than judging fit from the display photo.
Use the preview when available. Bring measurements and the model numbers of appliances that must fit your layout. Ask about missing specifications before you bid; an assumption about size, compatibility or included parts can change the value of a purchase.
4. Set a total purchase limit
Include the buyer's premium, applicable tax and any pickup, delivery or shipping costs in your budget. The current event's terms control the charges. As an illustration, a $500 winning bid with a 10% buyer's premium becomes $550 before tax and other charges. That is an example calculation, not a quote for a particular lot.
If an item is sold by the unit, multiply by the quantity you are committing to buy. Write down your maximum before bidding starts so a quick decision still fits your project budget.
5. Join the webcast and follow the live lot
For a webcast, open the event on HiBid at the posted start time and follow the current lot and asking price on the bidding screen. Place a bid only when you intend to buy at that amount. Facebook or YouTube viewing does not register a bid; use HiBid for online bidding. Internet video can lag, so pay attention to the platform's bidding status.
6. Check your invoice and arrange collection
After the auction, review your invoice and the payment and pickup instructions for that event. Confirm the collection address and appointment before traveling. Tell us about access restrictions or unloading needs when requesting delivery. Shipping eligibility and charges depend on the event and item, so arrange those details before bidding if collection is not practical.
Prefer to choose products without waiting for an auction?
The Cabinet Solutions online shop offers a separate way to browse cabinets and flooring for a planned project. Check product availability, your cabinet schedule and the shop's fulfillment terms before placing an order. Auction terms and retail order policies are separate.
