This business is a total RIPOFF! They take your money and then no more contact. Save your money and avoid this company at all costs. I would highly recommend that you list your items yourself and do not give these "people" a dime. read more

My wife and I was pursuaded by Cheyenne from Heartland Media Group (the companies marketing respresentative) to advertise our motorhome with them and that they had buyers lined up and ready to make bids, short of saying they would guarentee a sale, but strongly suggested that their company could do all the advertising and they had people waiting to bid and would probably sell in within a few months if not sooner. We started our adventure in Mid November, 2014, and to date, had not sold our motorhome via the use of this company as of April 6, 2015. The best bid they were able to get me was $1,800 over that time, of my $40K reserve price. Neither Cheyenne or Heartland Media Group contacted us to keep up updated or informed of the process or any inquiries to our advertised motorhome. I had to contact them to renew bidding site as it had run out and was almost 2 weeks before it was started again. I had to contact Cheyenne several times to get information and change the prices to see if we could get more activitiy at a lower price. We never received any positive....or constructive results from using Heartland Media Group. Cheyenne also talked us into addtional cost to have our motorhome "FEATURED" on the websites they advertised it on. Everytime time looked up those sites (iOffer, Autabuy or HMG), I never did see my motorhome as a feature vehicle for sale. This was a $100 addition to out $399 cost, but Cheyenne gave me a deal of only $50 (paid $450), but it was not worth the cost of either amount. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone wanting to sell an RV.....it was not worth the money I spent and besides Cheyenne being very pleasant when I had to call her, the customer serivce was really non-existant. I actually got better response from Craigslist and just sold it by setting it out 3 weekends at the local college using the local college. I would also recommend using RV trader (rvtrader.com) as I have heard very good things and they charge a fraction of what Heartland Media Group, and have better customer service. Good luck to anyone that deals with this company! read more

1 star only because you can't do less. BEWARE!! I was contacted by these people from an ad I put on Craigslist to sell my RV. This guy gave me a long, detailed song and dance saying they had a person who had bid on a trailer similar to mine and lost the auction. Their bid was still active, and they had seen my trailer and wanted it. All I had to do was list my RV on the auction site($399) and his bid would transfer to me within a few hours. The pitch is good, the salesman very good. I asked directly "so your saying, there is zero chance my RV will not sell by tomorrow". The dude lied straight up. He called the next day to tell me to expect my bid within a couple hours. By this time though, I had looked hard on google and seen many others saying the same thing, great pitch, all lies, then nothing. I called the bank right away and lodged a scam claim. I was just curious how far this liar would go. read more

HI PEOPLE , I THINK THE Heartland media group is a fraud . I was contacted from a Leo Hill to help sale my 37 Chevy street rod I had on Craigslist and he used the pic's I had on the sight . He charged me $150 to put my add on iOffer auctions ,and Autabuy and one other one . I've tried to call serval times and never get a return call about my car or any other one . How can anyone sale anything if they don't answer the phone . I think I was ripped off big time , and will go out of my way to tell everyone before they lose money as I did . Shame on them . read more

I spent $1500 and can't get any service, same as the other reviews. I'm a former car dealer and customer service was #1 priority, not like these people. I will try to get my credit card company to reverse the charge. read more

They take your money tell you they have bidders who just bought same item as your item and would make bids for your item. then you never here from them again. they posted my item on 3 sites. could have done that myself and saved 400 bucks. even better business wont touch them because they call when the b.s starts and email only legit info. so BBB says they are fine. Crap read more

After listening to a sales promotion on how they just sold and item just like mine with several bids going on at the same time, I listed my RV with them. Since listing 9 months ago, I have to fight to get them to return my calls, send email after email before they reply (they have now quit replying), left messages on the managers phone, he never answers, and my RV is still not sold, I would not recommend these people to even the most desperate unless you have a lot of money to throw away. read more

BEWARE !!!!! Nothing but a scam !!!! Read the other reviews. Exactly what happened to us! They "watch"was is being sold in your area and how long your item has been for sale...DON'T buy into their sales pitch!!!!! read more

If you are thinking about listing your classic car or other vehicle with the Heartland Media Group, LLC, I recommend that you do your homework. I was contacted by a Heartland representative in the Chicago office in November, 2014. He told me that he saw my advertisement for a 1950 Mercury in a recent issue of Hemmings Motor News. He said that he had sold several old Mercurys in recent months through a bid process, which he indicated was superior to ebay Motors where most of the viewers were simply "kicking the tires." I paid a fee of several hundred dollars that resulted in an ebay listing and a listing on Heartland's bid service. I talked with the Heartland representative several times in the early months of 2015. He told me that he had received several low bids, but nothing close to the reserve. More important, he told me if a reasonable bid was received, someone from his office would call me to consider the bid. I never received a call and have no information that there were any bids. In late April, 2015, I attempted to lower the reserve in an attempt to sell the car. Each time I was told that if a reasonable bid was received, someone would call. I did not receive a single call over 110 days, which I interpreted to be a lack of interest in the car at the listed price. In early July I received a call from another person in the same office who told me that for an additional fee, she would list my car on a "Bid It Now" listing/site. She indicated that she called me due to the interest in the car on the first Heartland listing by individuals who did not quality for credit from the firm. She told me that five individuals had expressed an interest in buying my car and were approved for credit by the Heartland Media Group. Also, my car would be one of 5 cars featured for 55 days. My initial reaction was that "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is the case"; however, since I had confidence at that time the first Heartland representative was acting in my best interests, I agreed to the additional fee to obtain the listing. When there were no bids for 3 weeks, I tried to call the person who contacted me with respect to the Bid It Now listing in an attempt to lower the reserve. She did not take my calls. More important, both individuals stopped taking my calls and I have not been able to determine if any bids were received by either individual. Further, the home office in Omaha will not return my calls. I do not know if Heartland Media Group LLC did more than list my car on an internet site, but it appears that there is a reason that the company has an F minus rating with the Better Business Bureau located in Omaha, NE. read more

Same thing happened to me. Never retuned any phone calls or emails. Once they receive the money you will never here from them again.

We were trying to sell our motorhome and had placed ads on Kijiji and RV Trader. Shortly after we started advertising we received a call from Steve who told us that he had a buyer very interested in a motorhome like the one we were advertising. He told us that he had a reserve bid which was more than we were asking. At the time we were not aware of Heartland Media Group. Steve said that he was representing Bidder's Circle out of Chicago. He said that there was a $400 USD registration deposit for the auction. He also told us that this fee would be returned to us after the unit had been inspected. We fell for it and paid the $400 which was a lot more in Canadian dollars. We live in Canada. We then received a receipt from Heartland Media Group for the amount we paid in USD but on the receipt it said that the money was for advertising, not a registration fee as we were lead to believe. We tried to contact Steve several times by phone or email but he never returned our calls and only replied to one email saying that everything was on track (whatever that meant) and that we should feel free to call him anytime. Well, the auction closed at midnight January 14th and we heard nothing. We emailed Steve asking what happens now. Were the "potential" buyers still interested? He has not responded. We now realize that we have lost quite a chunk of money for nothing. We are retirees and that money could have been put to much better use. We will not fall for this again. We can't believe that we did last November! read more
