Shelf bids, and opening bids, that exceeded full retail prices, incomplete kits selling as full kits, Chinese knockoffs selling as authentic items and refusing to separate impractically massive lots (example: 60 cans of spray paint, buy them all or don't bid).
A GT30 (if I remember correctly) that looked like it's been on the shelf since the dawn of time was up for auction. Once we arrived at the turbo, the phantom bid specialist says "I have a shelf bid of 800$ on the turbo, retail is around 3000$!", trying to boost the price so it doesn't sell for 2-300$ like it's supposed to when you bankrupt and auction all your junk away.
Now this was a lot of 3 radiators, all brand new, all identical. Bidding starts at 25$/ea and the final sale price... 75$ each! GIVE ME A BREAK! The auction guy almost had a stroke trying to boost the price of them. Now if I compare what was sold for 75$/ea, which ends up being 225$ and you'll probably need all 3 to get one functioning, to say a BWR triple core (BWRAD-HD01), half sized rad which costs me 119$ with a limited lifetime warranty. OR I could always go the Mishimoto route and pay slightly more 141$ OR a Koyo 170$?
The bid requirements were inconsistent demanding 5$ minimum bids one second, and accepting 2$ increments the next.
Not to mention, on a few occasions, the auctioneers would refuse to sell an item for 5$, which was the maximum initial bid submitted. It was a NO-RESERVE auction, and frankly, the auctioneer had no right to refuse the bids.
ALSO, on one occasion, the auctioneer decided to include a secondary lot to someone AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but refusing bids on a NO-RESERVE AUCTION, and INCLUDING ITEMS FOR FREE on other lots, but wouldn't that be a malpractice on the auctioneers part? He doesn't decide what the minimal value of an object is, his job is simple, talk fast and sell the junk to the highest, and sometimes ONLY, bidder.
One every other lot that had more than 2 of the same item, THE AUCTIONEER REFUSED TO SPLIT THE LOTS, PURCHASE THEM ALL OR DON'T BID. Everyone in the room heard it, RavenBlackR1 can confirm.
L'acheteur 117 etais bien le proprietaire qui avait fait faillite, mais avis mis ses lunettes de douche pour pas que personne lui remarque.
Les lots, a part de 2, etait vendu en LOT et non a l'unite, je suis sur que tu peux me confimer ca, comme Chris l'a fait. Ce qui confirme que l'organisateur de l'encan est en train de mentir a Danny, et a nous. Le monde nous prennes vraiment pour des cons je crois.
Since the tax ID numbers belong to a valid company, other than the bankrupt one, they must now honor a 30 day warranty on all items sold. I told her that we signed a paper aknowledging the products were sold as is. Her answer: The only way that would be valid, is if the products were purchased from the DPB as a "going out of business sale", purchased from a auction firm/company/house or purchased from the lending bank that has foreclosed. Since the tax numbers belong to a valid company other than those, that company is liable for the products well being and proper functioning, regardless of the papers signed.
