still need
I still need a T5 and would have definitely bid if their website wasn't the way it is. Their website and processes are not user friendly. That's about all I care to say since I run an auction also...regards

I had this very converation with a friend last week. Based on the material they get for their auctions, Hunt should be considered in the upper-echelon of the auction biz. And in addition to the quality auctions, their customer service is top notch. Yet because of that horrendous Web site, I think many collectors ignore them or think they're second-rate.
This is an auction house that holds an annual auction in conjunction with Major League Baseball, yet its Web site is a decade behind the times. I speculated that if Hunt would invest $5,000-$10,000 in technology on a new site, the money would be recouped within two of their major auctions. The fact that they hold smaller Internet-only auctions on a regular basis probably means the investment would pay for itself even quicker. It really is a curious business decision, because I've got to believe Hunt has received feedback on this topic.

I used to think that their monthly internet/phone auctions were the best kept secret..you could always get great deals, but in all that time I'm not so sure it was a secret, but that people just found their website to be cumbersome. People have adapted to it I guess enough to make the bargains a bit harder to find. It took me a while to figure out how to bid online in their catalog auctions though.
And I know the people at Hunt Auctions read this site because I once made the complaint here that I never receive their large catalogs even though I've won plenty in their Internet/phone auctions. Someone there read it, emailed me and told me that I would start getting the catalogs...which I did. Their website may suck, but their customer service is the best.

I completely agree; their website sucks. I also don't understand why one would have a 900+ lot live auction filled with $300 items that are more suited to an internet auction. I don't want to bother with arranging a phone call for an item like that and am certainly not going to fly across the country to be present for a live auction for those sorts of things.

I guess their "internet auctions" are no secret anymore, as well. Over the years I have scoured them and scored numerous items which I have flipped for quadruple the price or better.

I haven't ever dealt with Hunt, but ..... if what everyone says is true, why would anybody consign to them?
