Terrible people.
- - The reviewer calls the company and its people worthless.
- - Fees in the fine print include a $50 charge to retry a card after a denial.
This is a worthless company ran by worthless people. They have a lot of *** fees in the fine print, like if your credit card company denies their charge because so many people have complained about them, they charge you an additional $50 to run your card again.
Do yourself a favor, stay far away.
Then, it took them a month to ship the item out. What become a mediocre auction win became not worth it all in the long run.
User's recommendation: Stay away.

Verified Reviewer |Paid for item, Bisman Bids or Ollies Guns LLC never shipped
- - Paid for a firearm after winning; no item delivered.
- - Payment reversed by card due to non delivery.
- - Alleges shill bidding to inflate HiBid prices.
ZERO stars.
Exactly as described by so many of the other negative reviews. I had a similar experience with these clowns.
I bid on a firearm, I won the auction, and I paid in full. After waiting over 90 days since payment, I had not received the item. I called the credit card company and reversed the payment. These people are dishonest and unethical.
Also, they are 'shill bidding', which is bidding up the prices for their own auction listings on HiBid in order to get more money out of the other bidders.
That's right, the auctioneer is bidding against actual bidders to draw more money out of their 'customers'. Totally gross.
Who owns Ollie's Guns LLC and Bisman Bids? Is it Elizabeth G. Doll ?
Is it Brett Ruff ? Either way, they are reprehensible, dishonest, and grossly unprofessional by any measure. Their phone number listed in their current HiBid profile is disconnected. They clearly want to limit contact with their disgruntled customers.
Their FFL should be revoked, as well as their auctioneers license.
. I'm going to contact HiBid and the ATF tomorrow, get the ball rolling.
- There are no pros
- Unprofessional
- Shill bidding
- Unethical
Preferred solution: I would like to see them banned from HiBid, I'd like them to lose their auctioneer license, and they should lose their FFL.
User's recommendation: Don't bother, it's more trouble than it's worth.

Verified ReviewerComplete scam
- - Email-only contact; no phone.
- - No-reserve ads with ghost bids; full upfront charges, 3+ months shipping, and a $200 restocking fee.
The credit card company refunded my money and they are going after the guys. NEVER pay with your personal bank info!
They advertise as no reserve but put in ghost bids on every idem so you are bidding against them until the reserve is met. If you buy any thing they have no intention of delivering a thing, they will charge you in full on day one and then you wait. The shipping takes 3 + months to even ship.
I feel they do this so you will cancel your order and they can charge a $200 restocking fee, on something they probably don't have in the first place. I contacted HI BID they know they suck they just said we known they are slow to ship.

Verified ReviewerPotential Fraud Alert
- - The firearms auction showed clear shill bidding by the seller.
- - Shill bidding is a federal crime per the FTC.
Report them for fraud at federal trade commission website
I was participating in an auction for firearms they were holding and they are very clearly shill bidding. Which means they are selling the items but also bidding on them themselves to run the bid cost up.
Shill bidding is a federal crime according to the Federal Trade Commision. If you feel a victim of this shill bidding, copy and paste this link.

Verified ReviewerDo not use them
- - They auction items they may not have.
- - I bid on ammo and received a different brand.
- - They substitute items per their terms.
Be aware that they are selling items off the shelf that they may or may not have when the auction is finished. I bid on some ammo for my rifle and they sent a completely different brand.
I emailed them and their only response was "It looks like that was subbed in as per our terms, if we are unable to source the original item, we will substitute another."
So basically they don't have items they are selling, they are using this to sell stuff off the shelf.
Lucky for me it was only ammo.
I would have a insurance/credit card claim if they replaced a gun for some random brand that I didn't want.
Do NOT use them and be careful of their 'Terms' if you do. They were no help and Hibids who hosted the auction didn't help either.
- Do not sell what they show - scam site
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Breach of Contract
- - Item not received two months after order, shipment delayed.
- - Item arrived after complaints and disputes.
- - Cannot recommend doing business with them.
I ordered an item from them and now, two months later, I still do not have it. I have reached out to them twice.
Based on other online reviews, the tone of the emails, and the shipment delay, I believe they never intend to ship the item.
Three months later after filing a formal complaint with HiBids.com, disputing the charge with my credit card company, and reporting them to various alphabet agencies; I finally received my scope.
It really shouldn't take this kind of effort to get people to keep their commitments.
I can not recommend working with them. Ever.

User's recommendation: Dont buy any thing from them, file a complaints with the FTC

Verified ReviewerResolved: Fraudulent company
- - Purchased a thermal scope from Bismanbids on Hibid; charged at auction end; 8 weeks to ship not noted in auction info; dispute filed.
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Bismans finally placed the order with their supplier the day AFTER I filed a dispute with my cc company.
Then I had the scope within 2-3 days. Their supplier included the order sheet showing when they received the order and shipped it.
Emailed Bisman at 7 weeks asking for and update and their reply was we are working on it. At 9 weeks I was looking through Hibid and found Bisman had new auctions selling the same scope I had purchased and not received. I called me cc company and filed a dispute on the charges. Then called Hibid and let them know about Bismans.
I believe Bismans is selling merchandise they do not have, can not get, or dosnt want to ship if sold under retail prices.
Unfortunately Hibid.com is still offering Bisman auction. I would definitely not advise anyone purchase any merchandise from Bisman.
User's recommendation: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY

Verified ReviewerThis place is a scam beware fraud beware
- - Phone numbers and emails don’t work.
- - Auctions charge fees; canceling mistaken bids is hard.
- - There are better, reputable auctions.
Buyers, be aware, this place is a fraud. The phone number doesn't work, and they do not respond to email requests either.
All the auctions are set up; they rob you with fees and if you ever try to cancel something you accidentally bid on, you can forget it. They are very quick about taking your money but good luck getting it back.
There are much better and reputable auctions out there. Save yourself and buy from a different company.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don’t buy unless you like getting scammed
Scam site
They run an auction daily, but its not a true auction. Every single item is mysteriously placed with a high bid, and even if you have a winning bid thats a good deal, they wont honor it.
User's recommendation: Avoid
