I've been using this site for a couple of years-have purchased quite a few items, but the site has changed over the last 6-8 months. If you look closely at the listings and where the "auctions" are located, you'll see that the companies in the Los Angeles/SoCal area sell the same stuff, they just rotate it from one to the other. They don't have offices--they operate out of private mailboxes. When you bid, most of the time [they] bid against you to jack the prices up. In many (most) cases you'll pay well over retail. When you "win" as the top bidder, they refuse to sell to you, but if you make a mistake, they say it's a binding contract. Stay away if you'e smart
