Hello everyone, I need some help withdrawing a bid on the hcm brokerage website (https://hcmbrokerage.com). I placed bids on several different boats, but I only want to buy one. Unfortunately, it's starting to look like I might end up winning multiple auctions.

I searched in the "my bids" section of my account for a cancel option, but I don't see anything like that. Can anyone tell me how to retract a bid? I'd be very grateful for your advice!

Thanks, Phil

If you want to withdraw a bid, just call or email hcm brokerage directly. It's pretty simple. Send them the links to the bids you want to cancel, or give them the year, make, model and other details of the boats.

I had the same issue and emailed them; they removed my bid right away. You'll get a confirmation email, and then those items won't appear in your bids section anymore. Hope that helps!

I had the exact same problem and ended up winning two auctions. They really should add a "remove my bid" button. That said, I'm not too upset — I paid for both center consoles and flipped one for a decent profit, so it worked out fine. Still, it would be a nice feature for them to add since buyers can change their minds.

If you're only planning to buy one boat, maybe avoid bidding on several at once. Just a friendly observation.

Don't take PNWValhalla too seriously — he can be a bit crabby sometimes. Just let it slide and keep going, haha.

Hey Phil, I've bought a few boats through hcm brokerage. Their customer service is pretty responsive. Just email support with your bid IDs and they'll cancel within a few hours. I've done it twice with no hassle. Good luck!

I second what ChesapeakeDee said. I called their phone number and they removed my accidental bid in minutes. Don't stress, it's a standard request for any auction site. Enjoy your new boat!

I had the same panic moment last month. I sent an email to hcm brokerage's support team and they fixed it within an hour. Just be sure to include the item numbers. You'll be fine!

Just a heads up: always double check before bidding, but mistakes happen. I've used hcm brokerage's auction platform and they were helpful when I needed to retract a bid due to a duplicate. Call don't email — faster response in my experience.

This is super helpful — I'm about to start bidding on hcm brokerage and was worried about the same thing. Thanks for asking the question, Phil. Looks like just contacting them directly is the way to go.

Phil, glad you got it sorted. For future reference, hcm brokerage's terms say you can retract any bid before the auction ends by contacting them. I've done it once and got confirmation in writing. Happy boating!
