Buyers know there’s a tremendous variety of jewelry, watches, gemstones, and more to be found on HiBid.com, which makes the online auction platform ideal for sellers. The site attracts bidders from around the world, and jewelry auctions are always a top draw. A recent look at HiBid’s Jewelry / Watches / Gemstones category revealed more than 35,000 current listings.
 
HiBid’s ease of use invites buyers to find the jewelry they’re looking for from a broad selection. Shoppers can search by keyword and/or the category of jewelry, such as bracelets, brooches and pins, earrings, gemstones, necklaces and pendants, rings, and watches, including luxury models. Another category lists Jewelry Sets with matching pieces. An Antique / Vintage Jewelry section showcases items from yesteryear, many of heirloom quality. There’s even a Fashion / Novelty / Costume category for fun pieces and imitation jewelry to suit any style. 
 
It’s also simple for buyers to locate jewelry auctions near them, so that they can have the opportunity to look a piece over (or have a jeweler inspect it) before they buy. Buyers can search for sales by ZIP code or state, as well as by distance from their location. They can use HiBid’s interactive auction map with a couple of taps or clicks. The colorful map shows them how many auctions are currently taking place in various locations from coast to coast. HiBid also offers portals such as New England.HiBid.com, California.HiBid.com, Ireland.HiBid.com, and Atlanta.HiBid.com that focus on current sales by region, state, country, and city.
 
Consigning items on HiBid through a remarkably uncomplicated process. Click or tap the Sell button on the HiBid.com homepage, and simply fill in some basic information about yourself and the jewelry or gemstones you wish to sell. An auctioneer will get in touch with you to sell your wares with no hassle at a reasonable fee. Each auction has a specific end date and time, which conveys a sense of urgency to buyers and encourages competitive bidding.
