Public Auction R Us

Place used to be good. They purposely sell things without their power cords or other functional items so folks can't test. Their policy changes frequently to exclude more and more items from being guaranteed. The long es have always been an issue and one they have not tried to fix. There are other places in town now that sell Amazon/Best buy returns for not that much more and also not waiting 1.5hours

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is HORRIBLE. They sell you broken items and there "guarantee" for non as is items is bullshit. The guy I spoke too after driving all the way back down there was extremely rude and slammed the gate shut in my face. They sold us broken tubs, a refrigerator that does not work. A CAT power station that will not work unless plugged in. All worthless and they didn't do anything about it. DO NOT GO HERE. You think it a great deal but its not, they make money off of you by selling broken crap.

So the old saying goes you get what you pay for. This place resells amazon and other big box returns. Lot of places do it. This place does it dishonestly. They take one photo and then use it for all like items and then try to give you an item that was not int the photo. I purchased two CAT battery chargers that the photo showed were in their boxes, they attempted to give me two dirty used ones that looked like they had been almost destroyed. but when this was pointed out to the gentleman he tried to say it was the one I purchased. I had to show him a photo before he went and got the right ones. I also purchased an instant pot. Again one photo. But the one they gave me had a huge "DEFECTIVE" sticker on the side and when I opened it at home it was completely unusable. I was sold garbage!! See attached photos. Based on this and the other reviews it's buyer beware. I won't be going back. Drove 3hours there and 3 back. Stick with the guys who are honest. This place is a joke. I would like my money back on this purchase

Both items I purchased were broken. I was refunded for one and told I would receive over $100 in store credit for the other. I was never given any official store credit or charge card. Told I would receive an email in a week. I informed the manager I drove in from Hollister California over 5 hour round trip and needed a refund. I'm being forced to dispute the charges with my credit card company.

DO NOT GO TO THIS AUCTION!!! If I could give zero stars I would!!! Every item I have purchased here has been absolute garbage. They also have extremely terrible customer service. My items were all over 22.50, I requested a refund, and they still would not honor it. I have not returned since. You are better off donating your money to a good cause! That way, at least you don't feel like you are being robbed. This business should be shut down immediately, I don't know how this business owner can sleep at night knowing how they are getting over on people.

Seems they have two separate yelp pages and that's probably to avoid all the bad reviews on the other one. Anyways I'm posting my review on both. Read the second half first seeing as the first half is an edit after checking all of my products.Here to edit my review after opening and checking out most of the products and so far so good on the baby products. However, upon opening the VR at home the charger is now missing even though it was there when we first checked. It is also missing the controller so how in the world does this still work!!! The 30 reimbursement on a $200 product THAT IS MISSING ALL OF ITS IMPORTANT PARTS AND I CAN'T EVEN CHARGE IT. This place is definitely not worth it!! Be aware and TRIPLE CHECK EVERYTHING. Also they were in such a rush to get us out that we were one item short and after all the back and forth we were a little down the road home when we realized we were missing an item. I seriously do not recommend going here and wish I could give them 0 stars. Lastly please please please watch when you're bidding on items. We were trying to get a mamaroo as a gift for a mom and found and won the item "4moms rockaroo $279 retail" that is not the retail price for the rockaroo it is the retail price for the MAMAROO a much nicer version that does various other things that the rockaroo does not. So we thought we were getting a great deal for a Mamaroo based on the price, but we were not and weren't aware of this until the receiver opened the gift, how embarrassing. I'm writing this review before I get home so I have yet to open and put together some of the baby stuff we purchased. However, we purchased about 14 items and aren't too thrilled after picking them up. Seeing as it is an online auction I think better photos should be taken of smaller/already opened items so the customer knows what they are purchasing. We bought a Dyson humidifier and after opening it before leaving we found it was broken. We also purchased Oculus VR googles once we opened them we found they had a dent, but we had no other choice but to take them because "they still work." The most disgusting was the two sets of airpods that clearly were not cleaned!!!! So much built up earwax it's sick. They did provide us a refund for the humidifier and after some arguing they gave us only $30 on the VR googles that we paid $200 for. Sadly it was my first auction and I learned my lesson. Anyways overall this place sucks. I'm just glad I was able to find some baby stuff for good prices.The one star is for the items they're selling because they're really just ripping you off and for the owners attitude.

"As is" items ( re seal by a lot of tape)100% no accessory- broken - missing important (expensive) part15% fee for bidding

Dont waste your time or money here, I've gotten stuff that was broken, not as described or a total different item in box and they don't even care to refund you!!

Wow, buyer beware. I'm currently waiting for them to call me back regarding my items, but I feel compelled to write something.I now have 3 items that I spent about $300 on, and none of them are usable.I spent $125 (plus tax and fees) for a gaming chair for my son's birthday, $60 for a BB8 Droid, and $55 for a deck box.I went to put the deck box together, and it is just a mangled piece of plastic shoved into a box and taped shut. And of the 6 sides needed, there are only 5 in the jacked up box!So I went to put together the gaming chair, and the thing only has half of the parts needed. The post the that connects the seat to the wheel base is missing, and there is no hardware... there is nothing I can do with this damn thing.So I called, and the employee said "I'm sorry, the items are sold as-is, and once you leave the property, there is nothing we can do." Nobody told me that I need to check the items, they just told me to sign showing I received all of the items. I told him that was unacceptable, I have about $300 worth of stuff I cannot use, and I'm not cool with throwing my money away.So I just tested the final item that I hadn't tested yet, a BB8 droid. I plugged the body in a couple of days ago, and didn't see any signs of issues. I just went to test it, and realized that I need to charge the head, too. I plugged it in, and a little bit of smoke started to come out... and I smelled that electrical fire smell. I paid 60 for this defective, returned (and not fixed) Item! They are selling things that are useless, incomplete, broken and mangled. The items they sell are only fit for the trash.So now I'm out:1. $125 + $18.75 (fees) + tax for incomplete chair.2. $55 + $8.25 (fees) + tax for mangled deck box.3. $60 + $9.00 (fees) + tax for a BB8 droid that has the potential to catch my house on fire.That's a total of $276, not including tax, worth of useless garbage. If I don't get a call back or get resolution, I will seek legal action.

Unbelievable - this place will rip you off and then smile in your face. You go in for pickup and there is no one who is obviously in charge - just a bunch of worker bees who don't know anything. Bought some CAT Power Stations there, TESTED them before I left - none of them would accept a charge......Jumpstarter wouldn't work - compressor wouldn't work....light didn't work......USB ports wouldn't work.....told the guy retrieving my order that I wanted new CATs.....I was basically told tough shit....I have used other auction sites in the Central Valley and they are basically honest and upfront...If this place was selling crap they should at least have the decency to post items "as is" and let the buyer beware. I'll be contacting the Better Business Bureau on these feckless thieves
