  As an auction liquidator, ******* runs auctions on items that were returned to Big Box retailers for any reason. When customers are registering to bid with us, they are agreeing to our terms and conditions. Those terms and conditions can easily be referenced at ********************************** will cite the "Open Box condition code here.2.10.2 Open Box - Open Box items were sold by a retailer, and potentially used before being returned by the customer. Open Box items may be damaged or have an opened box with missing pieces, so unless the condition of a specific item is explicitly stated, User should not make any assumptions other than the item may be ripped, scratched, non-functional or otherwise damaged.

If one follows our terms and conditions, auction liquidation can be a great thing for many people. Thank you.

  I purchased a protection plan on a small amplifier only to receive a item missing the power cord and they refused to give me back my 7 dollars knowingly admitting that they never provided the information or description in the ad! I have literally purchased over $500 worth of items this year. I will think hard again before buying any electronics from these people. I contacted corporate and they said I should have looked at it ahead of time. Excuse me for not being a loser and having a job which is where all the money comes from for most of the auctions. This makes no sense.

  When I started with this group they had good products for great costs, Now for the past 3 times now have bought open box and they should have been listed as broken and non functioning and one item was not even what I bid on. tired of wasting gas and time returning items. They need to be honest in what they carry. Done with this company.

  This looks like a canned message I have seen on other reviews. I stand by my review and the past 3 items I have bid on have either been broken with major damage that suggests someone did not bother to really look at it or ignored the item or was a totally wrong item. Like i said tired or wasting my time returning items. This place has declined in service since I began with them and done with them.

  I have purchased many items from **, today I went to the ********* PA location because I had 18 items to pick up that was clearly in my awaiting for pickup via the app as well as being on the web page. As the woman was scanning my purchases, she bluntly told me "That's not yours" for several items. I showed her my phone and it was in my paid items as well as "waiting for pickup".Her other response was "I don't care and there is nothing you can do about it"Boy was I MAD.She proceeded to remove items off of my cart, then had the nerve to "tell" me to take these boxes off so I can get this. I stood there and did not assist considering that she said they are not mine. I mean it's $40, but the point is that I purchased those items to auction them off so "50" elderly and disabled people can take a nice vacation this summer.I called support and the only thing he told me that he can do is refund the highest paid item which was $3.17. But that has never went to my "macbucks"So yesterday after I left the warehouse, I went straight to the local court house and filed a civil suit against Mac.Bids. If they refuse to give me my items that were "available for pickup", refund my money or even give it to me in the form of Mac.bids cash. I bet their attorneys are going to cost them more money in the long run. I am NOT someone who backs done.And before you even reply, I know exactly, word for word of the policy. So don't bother copying and pasting some BS.

When customers are registering to bid with us, they are agreeing to our terms and conditions. Those terms and conditions can easily be referenced at *********************************** this situation, the customer's items had gone into abandonment. Our abandonment process is done by algorithm. Even though they may have shown on her accounts, the 3 business days to claim these items had been exhausted. Customers do receive emails and are notified on the app when their final day for pickup is. I will cite our removal policy for reference.2.8. Item Removal - The User is required to pick-up all items purchased by the removal time set forth in the specific auction. All removal shall be at the expense, liability and risk of the User. If the User does not pick-up an item within the removal period for the specific auction, MAC may, at their sole discretion, deem the item to have been Abandoned by the User and the User will have no further rights with respect to the item. If items are not removed by the removal deadline, User is liable for all removal and disposal costs associated with disposing of the assets that were not removed.Thank you.

  Buyers Beware!!!! I was bidding on a rug.i did not want to spend to much on it so I set a max bid for $17. It stated I was winning and had the highest bid of $49, which I was shocked because I DID NOT set a max bid in that amount, I went to the site to see if there was a way to speak to someone or change that. It here was a phone number, which they were closed so I could not talk to anyone, so I emailed.nothing, so I texted, still nothing. I finally was able to call them. Spoke to ***.who claimed o kept making bids, which is absolutely falsethere was apparently 4-5 bids on my end, which is a LIEI made 2, one for $6 and one for $17. I told him there must be a glitch in their system because I Did not and would not bid $49 for that or any carpet. **** spoke with his manger and saidnothing they can do, I have to pay. This is unfair because I honestly did NOT bid this high for this carpet. If I did then I would be happy I won it and would not be calling.This however is not the only problem I have had with this place, a few weeks back I bought a large dog crate, came I. A large box but was a small crate. I purchased a very nice heating g pad that did not work. I have got nothing but junk the last few times and they are just robbing people. They dont care. I can and will submit the ***** I bought with the ad.its all messed up I am so irate that they get away with this stuff. I am telling you its a glitch in the system or they did something. Something was not right and I tried to contact immediately when I saw that it was incorrect.

When customers are registering to bid with us, they are agreeing to our terms and conditions. Those terms and conditions can easily be referenced at ********************************** am going to cite our bidding policy for reference.2.4. Bidding - By placing a bid in an auction, you are extending an irrevocable offer to purchase the items at the price set forth in the bid. Once entered, a bid may not be retracted.2.6. Winning Bid - The User that entered the Winning Bid will consummate the purchase of the item within the time specified in the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Unless stated in the specific terms and conditions for an auction, all items will be charged to the User's default credit card on file following sale. In most cases this will be the following morning. This amount will include the Winning Bid, all buyers premiums, lot fees, **************** Fee and sales tax, if applicable. Upon receipt of payment, all risk of loss shall pass to User. Winning Bids may not be cancelled at any point following the close of an auction.We do have a total of 5 bids on this item via this customer's account. One was for $45 and the next was for $50. Both were set as Max ****** This is according to our official digital data. Thank you.

  The start of poor customer service;Me to ***** at MacBid 3/19/25: My order deadline for this item is tomorrow, but when I went to pick it up, they said that DESK means they have not found a place for the item yet, and I cannot pick it up at this time. Will the deadline be moved?Response at 3/21/25 12:53pm from *****: My apologies, are you referring to the Pots and Pans? After looking at your account, it says that item was picked up on 3/19 at 4:12pm. I'm glad it worked out, and have a great day!My response 3/21/25 1:00pm : Hi, My items were never picked up by me.This was ***** at MacBid response 3/24/25 5:05: Hello,After looking at your account, it says on 3/21/25 you picked up the Olive **** at 4:29pm, and a few minutes later at 4:33pm the Pots and Pans were refunded as a Bad Listing -Damage Are you saying that you or a friend/family member of yours did NOT pickup the **** and refund the Pots and Pans? Are you saying that was a complete stranger and we need to watch the security camera footage from that day? Please advise, thank you!I copied and pasted this poor customer service experience at ****** straight from my email! Now, to explain, on 3/19/2025, I asked ***** if my deadline for picking up the Pots and Pans Set would be extended since it wasnt available.On 3/21/2025 at 12:53 PM, ***** responded, asking if I was referring to the Pots and Pans and stated it was picked up on 3/19 at 4:12 PM. I clarified at 1:00 PM that I had never picked up my items.Later that day, I picked up the Olive **** at 4:29 PM, but at the time of my email, I had not yet picked up the Pots and Pans. If ***** had checked the timestamps, she would have seen this. Instead, she took an accusatory tone, implying I or someone I knew had picked them up and suggested reviewing security footage.This behavior is unacceptable and left me frustrated. I hope ****** improves its customer service to prevent misunderstandings.

  We do reject the notion that the tone was accusatory. We do believe it was more of a tone of confusion. This item was scanned as picked up in our system, in which the customer service representative was referencing. The scan did appear to be an inadvertent scan. The customer is leaving out the fact that they were refunded for the item. We do apologize for the confusion, but we are not entirely sure what else the customer is looing for here? Thank you.

  I dont give this company any stars really.Number one, I understand all policies are meant to be up held but when you purchase something you expect it to work and when you return it within the time allocated, you should get your refund.2ndly, I missed a deadline and the very next day, I tried to pay for my items and couldnt. I understand the policy on this as well but when I had paid for other items and because I had purchased the membership, I put the items on hold of which was given until 3-20-25 to pick up my ******** the meantime, accounting decided to refund me for the membership and suspended my account not taken into account that I had two items I had on hold and the deadline had not passed. I drove two hours to get the items on 3-17 not only to find out my account was suspended and they wouldnt allow me to pick up the purchased items in which I still had until the 3-20-25 to pick up and I would be refunded the items not to mention they suspended the account the same day as I was in route to pick up the items on 3-17-25. The items were not abandoned and paid for but not allowed to pickup. I emailed customer service- They said suspended account holders shouldnt be on the premises . Where in your policy does it say that?Im a state official and I know about following policies but what i dont understand is the lake of customer service that was given when customers do follow your instructions as to holds and returns.If I have to, I will contact News Channel 9 because you dont get to keep money thats not yours.

  I recently won a laser engraver machine and I got it for 335$ the original value is $2500 I went to pick up my item drove from *********** to ********* 5 hours to pick up my item and like magic my item was missing it disappeared. I spoke with costumer service and they mention 2 options to get my refund which i don't want ......because I think they don't let things sale that cheap if they know if fully functional. They just pretend is a missing item and give you a refund and repost the item.. when you look up at the information in ****** it says that you can get a refund, or a replacement of that item .but is not true they just denied to do a replacement in a future ..they said I have to bid again so now I am $466 dollars short ..that if they refund it it will take a month to get to my account note:they will ***** it on your bank !!no item !!no hopes to get it at all also I noticed that they exaggerated in some of the items price .like now they have a supposedly laser engraving partial part that the machine is 4000$ that is a big lie that is other part that it's not even part of the engraver and the price is around 300$ dollars..this is my terrible experience with this mac bid place they are very tricky .I post this to help people not to fall in their scam were they offered you items at ridiculous price but .they actually don't work,missing parts,overpriced, and when you finally get something good they act like is missing so they can keep posting it and continue holding people's money for a month..

We are not like regular retail where we get a regular flow of the same item into our inventory. We could get one of one item then it could be months until we get that same item into our inventory again. This is why, in cases of a missing item as example, we would issue a refund.We do quote that refunds can take 7-14 business days to be completed. I will quote our FAQs for ************* long does it take to receive a refund?Collapse The time between a refund request and receiving the refund is dependent on the credit card processor. Once ******* submits the request, the amount of time it takes to process is beyond our control. The credit card processor has direct control over how long this process may take. Nevertheless, the time period between the request and receiving the refund is normally between 7-14 days.Thank you.

  Buyer beware -- %15 is always added to your purchase! So, in the terms and conditions of a purchase, it is not disclosed what the "buyers premium" ACTUAL percentage is. This is a hammer fee that I found out is %15 of your purchase. In the terms and conditions it states that Mac discount may use its discretion when this Buyers Premium is applied. But in an email conversation with an associate, ******* from the ** office, disclosed that this %15 fee is added onto to EVERY PURCHASE. No discretion of any kind when it is applied like stated in the terms. They add %15 to all of your purchases. This is undisclosed and since it is not stated in the terms, it definitely feels like they are hiding a big fee they take from you. So please check you bank accounts to see what ********************** is actually taking from you. And on a more concerning note, they didn't even care when I brought this to their attention. The associate, *******, just kept sending me to the terms and conditions page, which is where the problem is. They just said this is how it is, and have a nice day. As a private business owner, this is unacceptable and I will be pulling my business from MacDiscount. I hope you have better experiences when purchasing from this business.

When customers are registering to bid with us, they are agreeing to our terms and conditions. Those terms and conditions can easily be referenced at ************************************ customer is correct in our terms of use notates that we do charge fees. I will cite that policy point for reference.2.11. Buyer's Premium - MAC may, in its discretion, charge a buyer's premium, lot fee or other service charge on items sold (including any applicable sales or value added tax or similar taxes in the relevant jurisdiction at the current rate). All such charges will be indicated on the specific auction terms and conditions. If charged, the buyer's premium shall be collected directly from each successful User, in addition to the lot fees, sales tax and purchase price as bid.What the customer failed to mention in this case was that the fees are broken down on each item's auction page.We always do stress that our customers should bid according to our fees. Fees do come standard across auction formats. Thank you.
