One must understand that buying salvage products that there is risk involved. What may be junk to one man may be reusable equipment to another. Descriptions given are usually given by untrained people doing the best they can. They are not auctioneers. They are folks doing their jobs. With that in mind, be specific. Ask questions about what you are buying. I've always gotten straight answers. I've used this websight many times and have not one time been disappointed when We unloaded the delivery truck.
They charged a dollar for address verification. For what? To get money. They are scammers that have high jacked this business. Buyer beware. They charge more than the additional 10% as well. And when you talk to them they have the accents of the regular scammers. Beware who you give your card info to. Not a trustworthy company. There are 100s of other auction company's GO SOMWHERE ELSE.

I've bought about 5 items on the website. All were said to be of "unknown" condition but when I brought them home, they all worked fine. Just needed to reinstall operating system. The buyer needs to understand that they are buying surplus equipment. So the equipment may or may not work. You should be able fix it if you bid on it. I love this site and would recommend to others. Best deals on used equipment. May need some fixing. But you can't really buy an 27 inch iMac for $400 anywhere else!
Its is a great site but DO NOT BID ON ANYTHING FROM THE CITY OF TUCSON. Tucson posts misleading information about the items, they are not easy to reach via phone or email. The do not reply to email and 3 out of the 5 items that I have won have ended up being broken and NOT repairable. The other cities and entities are great that participate but stay away from Tucson. Hope this helps you avoid waisting money on broken items they are passing off to the public.
