Tampa Machinery Auction Reviews

Awesome place. Now that lots of people come out here it’s not as easy to score deals.

There’s plenty of great items. I have purchased cars, trucks, boats, four wheelers and all kinds of other stuff.

Never had an issue. Great people and easy auction.

they listed engines as 50hp honda they not even close the actual power head was a 25hp engine all full of rust locked up piece of junk we purchase another engine suzuki same issue instead of telling you is locked up they list unknown we purchased yamaha same issue they are a bunch of crooks the only thing they are good at is hiding the truth and lying to public we purchase golf cars and says non operational all the stuff was gone no motor no wires no nothing just the shell we call and they point fingers at the others they said we can go and check items we did next time they have drones you can't open nothing or check nothing or inspect nothing all you can do is look at them no different than do it on internet with lies on pictures they fail to post, we purchased a bunch of tires good tires on top garbage on bottom, we took all good tires left the garbage and they ban us from buying again because we supposed to take all the garbage and dispose it for them stay away from this thieves and liars or you will be sorry

I purchased a boat that was advertised as a 2000 but once I took it to the shop 2 day after I bought it,it was confirmed that the boat was a 1995.I contacted Tampa Machinery Auction about it and they refused to issue a refund.Never deal with them if you don't wish to get ripped off. I even went as far as to have the makers off the boat look into this issue and they confirmed that they did not make this boat in the year 2000.I will never deal with these crooks again over at Tampa Machinery Auction.I can't even find parts for this boat at a decent price.

Corruption, all the auctioneers are making up false bids to drive up the price. False bids with no bidders. Bware!

This one small piece of telephone conversation between myself and the owner of TMA, is being offered for all to consider without any negative or positive connotations implied. You draw your own conclusions.

Me: Why would my electronic bids not be entered in a timely manner, just as a live bid would be?

David: We'll always give preference to our live bidders.

Me: Why would you ever give preference to any bidder over another?

David: Because they actually showed up.

As this is only 79 words and I need to have a hundred minimum, I should also add that in the view of TMA as expressed to me by the owner, internet bidding is more trouble than it's worth.

I just purchased a 2004 Ford Explorer at TMA 11.12.11. A very nice vehicle but after driving it home i noticed that the transmission hesitated after putting in drive or reverse.

the service engine light was on so i went to discount auto parts to have the code read. p-o775 witch has to do with the transmisson issues etc. But thats what you get when you can't test drive!

and you have maybe 5 min to hear the vehicles run and to inspect the items you are bidding on TMA does not let you move or test drive etc. Buyers beware!
