Hi Fi House liquidation

Their live bid software doesn't seem to support mobile devices so I lost interest today on that. Stuff was going pretty cheaply though from the limited amount of items I watched sell. Never could get logged in even though my account worked fine from home last night.

I asked them a question on shipping items, combining shipping, etc. and haven't had a response. Perhaps they'll get to it before the auction ends and I might bid on a few more things...

It doesn't appear to be very well run in my opinion. It certainly isn't up to the standards of the Audiogon members I've had transactions with in the past!

I'm wondering if any of their demo gear is up for sale...

Buncha Wilson speakers, Audio Research, etc. sold today.

Agreed, I registered and was an approved bidder. Could figure out how to make a bid. Lot's of junk.

As an Fyi, HiFi House is a 3 store B&M operation located near my house. They're gone now. Not many left.

Bifwynne: you need to go to bidspotter and log in on the hi fi house auction, then click the 'bid now' button starting at 11am EDT today to get into the online auction. You'll put in the same username/password and then you should be good to go.

BTW: in case I can't get a response on shipping and I actually win some of the things I've bid on, is the PA location convenient enough that you could take the stuff to a UPS store and have it shipped to me? I'd pay up front, of course. ;-)

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?

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.

I was able to get them to agree to ship my small items.

I'm going to send them a bank check and they'll mail my items to me. That's really good news.

This could have been done so much better and with less stress for everyone.

Because of the shipping uncertainty, I only bid on small items that I figured could be easy to ship. There were a number of items, including some of the big speakers I would have bid on otherwise...

Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks for the offer, Trelja!

I just sent my funds to them today so I'm hoping I'll have my items a week after they get them.

Just in case things go downhill, I will repost here! Please keep watching the thread!
