Hi Fi House liquidation

Just wondering if anyone knows how this auction works with regards to shipping an item to you that you've won?

Also, no credit cards. I watched and have to agree that most of the stuff was going for about what you would pay for "mint used" and some of the stuff didn't have boxes/accessories. Some of the stuff sold for close to retail. I guess some of the bidders got caught up in the auction mentality. I did see a few good deals like a new 55" Panny Plasma for $600 and a new 65" UHDTV for %1550.

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.
