๐ŸŽฃ How can I withdraw a bid? Need friendly advice!

12 replies 847 views

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm reaching out for some friendly help. I placed bids on several boats through HG Brokerage (hgbrokerage.com), but I only intend to purchase one. Now I'm worried I might end up winning multiple auctions! ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I've looked everywhere in my account for a "cancel bid" button but can't find it. Has anyone dealt with this before? How do I retract a bid? Really appreciate any guidance!

Thanks, Phil

Hey Phil! No worries, this happens to a lot of folks. The easiest way is to contact support via phone or email. Just provide the auction links or boat details (year, make, model). I had the same issue last month โ€” I sent them an email and they canceled my extra bids within a few hours. You'll get a confirmation, and the bids will disappear from your account. Hope that helps! ๐ŸŽฃ

I had the exact same scare! Actually ended up winning two once (before I learned my lesson). Honestly, they really should add a "delete my bid" button. But no complaints โ€” I sold the second boat for a small profit so it worked out. But yeah, calling support is the way to go. Glad you got it sorted! ๐Ÿ‘

Just a gentle observation โ€” if you only want one boat, maybe don't bid on several at once. ๐Ÿ˜… But I'm glad HG Brokerage was able to help you cancel. Their support team is usually pretty responsive. Next time, just bid on your top choice and save yourself the stress! ๐ŸŽฏ

Don't take valhalla360 too seriously โ€” he's a little grumpy sometimes but has a good heart ๐Ÿ˜‚ Anyway, glad you got it fixed! For future reference, some platforms have a 1-hour grace period. But yeah, calling is fastest. Welcome to the forum, Phil!

Hey Phil, welcome aboard! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I've been there before โ€” bid on three boats thinking I'd win one, then suddenly I was winning two. I just emailed customer service with the item numbers and they removed the extra bids within an hour. Super painless. Good luck with your new boat! ๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

Pro tip for next time: set a maximum bid on only ONE boat that you really want. Auction fever is real! ๐Ÿ˜… But seriously, their customer service is great โ€” I've had to cancel bids before too. You're in good hands. Let us know which boat you end up with!

Just adding my voice โ€” calling them is definitely the fastest method. Also, check your spam folder for the confirmation email just in case. And congrats in advance on your new center console! What model are you hoping to win? ๐Ÿšค

That Boston Whaler is a BEAST! Great choice, Phil. And yeah, their support team is super friendly โ€” I had a similar issue last year and they sorted it out in one phone call. Welcome to the forum, and post pics when you get the boat! ๐Ÿ“ธ

Great to see new members joining! Phil, you're going to love the Whaler. And for future reference, I always recommend using the "watch list" feature instead of bidding on multiple boats. But you handled it like a pro. Good luck with the auction โ€” keep us posted! ๐Ÿค™
