Proxibid itself is a platform that (typically) smaller localized auction houses use to enable internet bidding in their auctions. Proxibid itself is not the ones selling the items, and you will see hundreds of different auction houses represented using their software.
As with any such set-up, some of the sellers using Proxibid are legit, some clearly are not, and many fall into the gray area of being "generalists" who, out of ignorance (willful or otherwise), let some bad pieces slip through. What percentage of sellers fall into each category has been a frequent topic of discussion of late, but there are at least a handful of legit auction houses that use the software. The downside is that, unlike eBay where there is at least some policing of sellers, Proxibid has proven to be lax in keeping the "bad guys" out of their system, causing many here to blindly write off any auctioneer using their software.
Not being familiar with Lewis Auctions, I couldn't say which category they fall into, but it sounds like others may be able to speak from experience with regarding their practices.
