Let me start off by saying that I am a business in Ontario Canada. I mostly do BER appliances. 3 years ago when I started my business I could bid and win a load of 10 appliances for about $50 each. They as always would come in various states of condition. It was a risk but I very rarely lost money in the flip and fix of things. So here we go about a year and a half later. Bidding prices started doing a major jump. Upto $300 or $400 an appliance. These numbers cant even make sence even to the most amature business man. At those prices there will always be a loss. its imposssible to pay that amout per appliance (some of which are mini fridges etc less then $150 retain new in the box) plus the labour to fix them and any parts that need to be ordered in to fix the appliances. Techliquidators has ppl bidding up the public. Its also quite coincidental that the price you win the bid on inn most cases dictates the nature of condition of the appliances. for example..... I win an auction for $100 an appliance.......The appliances I receive are absolutely worth about $50. If i want to bid a high amout and lets say $200 an appliance its just coincidence that I receive a good load of appliances? Being a bidder for over 3 years gives me the knowledge and knowhow to smell this corporation for what it is. here is another plausable situation. There are ppl that work in the warehouse that have the inside information on auctions. Tell a friend kind of deal. Its that easy!! Lets face it....... Its almost impossible to prove. If anyone from Canada feels the same way about this our only combat is to file complaints with the RCMP. If there is enough of them thy will do an internal investigation and audit.
I would also like to say one more thing. I have expressed to techliquidators customer service (kulwinder) that all auctions regarding appliances should have a pic posted on the bidding page with the corresponding serial number. This will at least give us all a fighting chance!! TECH classifies the auctions as BER (beyond economical repair) those words still need to be said with integrity. BER does not mean putting appliances in auctions that are obviously deemed as scrap metal!!!! I truly hope some Canadain buyes respond to me with their feelings. regards, SR 14168318932 [email protected]

While I have had mild success with techliquidators, the biggest problem is on the site is the buyers. The prices people are paying are absolutely absurd. Couple that with the fact that the high margin items (car stereos, etc..) have been replaced with Retro popcorn poppers and Rocketfish bluetooth adapters (that you are lucky to $.99 out of) and you no linger have a viable business. We have been doing this for about a year (we resell on ebay and amazon) and the math over a year shows that you can usually get about 25 - 30% of retail on a good load. Anyone (I know I've seen reps from techliquidators saying that you should expect 50% of retail) saying any different has been EXTREMELY lucky or is a shill for techliquidators. That 30% of MSRP is REVENUE not PROFIT. So on a $20, 000 lot you should expect to generate around $6, 000 in REVENUE (not profit). Take out all expenses (Returns, Warehousing, Shipping Supplies, Ebay and Paypal fees, and OH YEAH Uncle Sam wants more than ever) and you are looking at very modest profits. The good news is that anyone paying more than 10 - 15% of MSRP on these $20, 000 lots out of Sheperdsville, KY wont be around for long. The bad news is it takes a while to rid the site of these overpaying idiots.

lol at all the SEOs here.
lol complaintsboard

Yeah these guys are a bunch of scam artists...best to avoid them altogether...and if you have the time, money and sanity left after dealing with them in the beginning ...sue them.

Funny thing about Best Buy is they got sued some years back for bait and switch advertising...seems they moved those clowns and that policy to their liquidation dept. Best Buy is a scam to begin with and this company is nothing different AVOID AT ALL COST!

I was investigating TECH LIQUIDATORS.com as a possible paying source for returns and such. What I seem to be finding out is that their manifest for 1 is way way way over valued. A 2001 apple G-5 I mac listed at $1799.00 and you can't pay someone to use one for a turkey shoot. I also had questions about the fact that they have a chain of selling that seems to be (A, grade(Best Buy, )(B) Grade, Deal Tree, )( and Best buy Outlet on EBAY), (C.)( Grade Cow Boom.com) (D grade, Tech Liquidators.com D grade meaning; DONE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL you get to buy the ShaTz. How could there be anything of use left if they have 4 different levels of selling their products to maximize they profits and minimize their losses. It seems to be a well oiled machine designed to dump the worst of the worst on any sucker who will ante up the cash for products site unseen. That's their catch, they offer you NO inspection process of any type, they are using their Best Buy name to lure you. Think about it, Have you ever in your life gone to an auction where they say;; OK, Folks Step right up;' what we have here for auction is a picture of a box worth $1799.00 with these products in it AS-IS we inspected them and they are Grade A++ or B- BUT, ' U can't see the items, NO!!! because the condition of something is subjective and varies from person to person, An Item I see as being totally worthless & junk, another man might see as being GOLD, ("especially IF IT IS HIS ITEM HE IS SELLING.") How can you expect any of their employees put a real world value on an item when Best Buy teaches them the BEST BUY grading system, not the real world grading system. and if they are offering products as refurbished and then pulling the old AS-IS trick on you. They have carefully set the system up so you were screwed from the start. If they really wanted to sell these items in the manner which they advertise them. They would have a location and time that a registered member could come and do a simple visual inspection. and have detailed photos of all products posted along with a detailed damaged report. As far as refurbished there should be a warranty on it if it really was refurbished. I know there are a lot of stupid people out there who would buy anything and then complain they got ripped off, i am not even counting them, i am only examining the chain in which Best Buy processes their goods, 1best buy, 2. Ebay best buy outlet.com / Cowboom.com 3.DealTree.com 4. Tech Liquidators.com which should be named, WWW.I Shat U sucker.com if it came directly from best buy and Best Buy had no 4 level CHAIN that the products were funneled through that would be an honest representation of the products you were buying. But unfortunately it's not, Best buy is telling the little white lie store returns, which it is returned, returned from 5 locations as being bad and now they are listing the JACKED UP MSRP as 20% higher then a brand new item. Use your noodle people, this is a big corporation, and their only goal is to make as much money as humanly possible with no regard to the negative affects their lies have on the average person. If there is good stuff coming out of there, someone with deep pockets has paid to pick through all the better stuff before you ever see it anyway. There return policy should be very liberal on refurbished products if they really wanted happy customers and their would be no as-is clause overlapping those products listed as refurbished. It ain't protecting you it is covering them.

Oh yea, think about this, even if they rip you off, Who's going to jail? NO BODY the system itself is set up so that if tech Liquidators were to sell you bags of horse crap that they had listed as; 2012 mac book pros (returns) in excellent condition and you opened the bag and it was nothing but horse turds, if you went down to the local sheriff to swear out a warrant for Fraud, he wouldn't do a 'damn thing' about it. He would laugh at you and tell you to get a lawyer. and then after spending 3-4 grand you might your money back. and no one would go to JAIL For FRAUD. Tech Liquidators system and disclaimers are set up to cover their ass not yours. If Best BUY were a company that wanted their customers to be 100% satisfied with whatever they are selling the would have a process set up so that their morals would easily be seen. I would take then nothing to have detailed damage descriptions along with photos of any damage for each and every product going through the chain. I know many companies that do this and go out of their way to clearly state on each item that this item has (Damage, missing parts, or whatever is wrong with it if anything at all is wrong with it.) So anyone who is foolish enough to buy products site unseen got just what they paid for, AN EDUCATION
