AI Highlights
  • Won 7 of 8 bundles (100 panels each) in online auction after in-person inspection; items were double-listed and hauled away by 8:30 AM.

Various bundles of metal roofing panels at the auction site for inspection in person along with lot numbers,I wrote them down,come time to bid on them online we won the bid on 7 out of the eight bundles listed as 100 panels per bundle. The online bidding was on a Saturday ending at 10:00 AM,banks closed. Monday morning we get a call from the auction company stating that they double listed the items and somebody had come in,paid for the steel and they were already hauled away by 8:30 AM

Same experience, nasty rude lady . I was scammed .

The items were misrepresented . Sent someone to pickup and they had electronics sitting in a farm field.

And it was raining. Worse company I have ever dealt with .

They have their own people bidding on equipment. They also do not inspect any of the equipment before placing it up for auction and do not disclose any damage done or repairs needed to bidders.

User's recommendation: Do NOT recommend.
