Great online auctions with a wide variety of good working equipment. I've bought Apple laptops, TVs, and furniture from their monthly online auctions and have always had a good experience from bidding to picking up. Good descriptions and photos on every lot compared to other online auction websites. I look forward to every sale!
They do internet auctions under multiple names (Silicon Valley Disposition, Techfootin). I've done many large transactions over the years. Incompetent, dishonest, totally unashamed at lying to your face. The goal appears to be to get your money and then "short" you with goods that don't match the pictures or descriptions. Ask a lawyer what "As is", "Where is" "With all Faults" means. You agree to accept those terms, which you sign off on when you give them your money, before you ever see the goods on a pick-up. It means text, specs, pictures, condition in the auction description need not match what they give you. You have no recourse for a refund or adjustment. The auction pictures or pre-auction viewing may show shining new piles of components, and then on pick-up appointment they will hand you a power supply and push you out the door. That is, if they bother to even be there at the time of your appointment.
They also do a poor job for their client companies. They aren't technically capable of inspecting a lot and writing a description on technical goods (I work in surplus computers). So if you scrutinize the pictures you can find cases where the lot is not matching the description and is more valuable than the description. Others bidders are confused, don't bid, and you can get bargains. And the client company doesn't get what proceeds their auction items should fetch.
Working them on either end is just a huge gamble, and their lack of shame for the most astonishing acts of deliberate deception showcases their "business" model. Tech auction houses are not angels in general, but assume the absolute worst here.
