BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!: This so-called auction site is NOT acting as a legitimate auction site like Ebay or others. The WHOLE THING IS A STATISTICS GAMING SCAM!
They are using one of the oldest scams in the world which is statistical gaming scam. THis is actually more like a gambling site than an Auction, as they are taking your money and scaming you into an unknown game of statistics! NOT A LEGITIMATE AUCTION SITE!
This statistics scam has been used by Carnival Scam and Gaming Artists since the beginning of the time. What they do is have a couple of High end items that are worth a high amount and all the rest is basic junk-beauty cream as Peter Griffin would say. The scam is to get as many people as you can bidding on the high priced item.
It is a Statistics game to get suckers like you and I to keep bidding on the high price item. The Fact is, they don't even need so-called surplus goods to make this happen as they are charging you 50 cents to place each bid which they do NOT tell you upfront. You do NOT find this out until after they take your money! Second, you cannot contact them to get a refund as they tell you when you call they say their email site is down. But guess what? email is the only way to get a refund according to their phone center. I have sent many emails and never got satisfaction.
In addition they use so-called artificial intelligence agents and make claims it is a live representative that will refund your money, which they don't! They show pictures of warehouses full of Surplus Inventory and claim they are Auctioning off all of this surplus inventory, when in fact they only have a few good items and thousands of bidders.
I have requested a refund many times and they just send out the artificial intelligence agent to offer you 50. dollars, after they have stolen $249.00 out of my Visa account!

If anyone who has been scammed could contact their credit card company and ask for the name & address of the merchant handling the charge we could get to the bottom of this a lot quicker.
