Worst Auction sites online

[Bobsbats]

What is the Worst Auction site to navigate ? There are a few that drive me crazy, but Hunt has to be the worst. Everytime you clink into an item, then back out of it...it shoots you back to the beginning. It's a shame because I like picking up things there from time to time, but man, it drives me nuts.
What are the sites that drive you crazy ?

Hunts. They should just use the simple auction engine that all the others use.

I agree that Hunts is among the most difficult to navigate.

In my opinion, Heritage Auctions seems to have the cleanest, most professional format with the best high-resolution photos of items.

+1 for Hunts

NO WATCH LIST!!

[sports-rings]

Hunts for sure.

Heritage is so large and cumbersome, it's a challenge to find an auction from the home page when there are so many auctions of different interests.

I love the Lelands/Paragon/SCP style where you can see catagories on the left.

+1 for Hunts, as a web developer & collector it frustrates me.

[Bobsbats]

I forgot that too....NO WATCH list !! I have bid on items so that I didn't forget where they were in the Auction...UGH !! Thanks Repulicaninmass...

Agree with Bob. Hunts not having a watchlist is a big problem for me. I often put in early bids just to keep track of items I am interested in.

Hunts by far. i recently called to complain about no watch list, and you can't enlarge their pics on Mac...plus typically only one image per lot?

Heritage gets the honorable mention for being way too confusing.

Exactly my sentiments, but I have pushed through the Heritage confusion and managed to bid with them and do business with them.

As for Hunt's...too confusing for me to even try...never bothered with them.

I love Hunt's.

Their terrible site allows things to slip through at prices they shouldn't, every so often. :eek:

As Blair said, Hunt's Auction set up is so bad I don't even look at it anymore unless someone sends me a link. Has to be the worst auction website because no other site has made me stop checking it because of the set-up

[Jlighter]

Plus their auction catalogs have no detail.

Is everyone aware I wrote a program to dump the current auction into a spreadsheet?

[bcornell]

It's ridiculous in 2012 that they run "Internet/Phone" auctions, as if those things are equivalent. They're notorious for bad scans, terrible search functionality and losing (ahem) bids placed online.

Note to Hunt's: "online" passed you by many years ago. I don't want to call you, I want to place my bids online as I've with every other auction site for the past decade.

Another vote for Hunts. Heritage is pretty bad too, but Hunts is alone at the bottom of the heap.
