Hi Fi House liquidation

A "Buyer's Premium" is common in auctions and it is how the auctioneer is paid.

So I contacted the auction house about assistance with shipping and was told they aren't offering any. They said they have too many items and can't handle the workload.

I guess that I will have to hire a packer/shipper if I win anything.

Anyone in the local area have any recommendations for packers/shippers I should contact?

I bid on about 18 items. I took into account the auction fee and having to drive about two hours each way to pick up the items. I got outbid on everything that I bid on. Some of the winning bids were higher than what you would pay on Ebay or Amazon. Add in the auction fee and the gas/tolls to go pick it up and you're about at retail. I guess people got caught up in the auction mentality. Anyway, I'm kind of glad I didn't win anything; just one less hassle to deal with.

So I won three things (power cords, speaker cables).

Now I have to figure out how to get them into my hands... Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Nice. I get an email w/an invoice and a 2-day payment requirement without any info on wiring funds to them.

Still no help from them on the shipping either. Awesome customer service!

Total joke.
