What Buyers Say
"I've never bought items like this online but I couldn't pass up the deal. Industrial freezer and fridge set is very clean and the line tables look almost new. 100% would buy again."
"I got the items for pennies on the dollar. I've been extremely happy with the service, ease of bidding, and everything. So much so that I've introduced a few co-workers to the auction site as well."
"Everyone is so helpful and courteous, from the office to the warehouse. We drove about 4 hours to pick it up... They were able to use the forklift and put the fridge directly in the trailer!"
