Buyer beware. This company literally sells garbage. I bought a table saw, a power drain auger and an 80" projection screen. They were listed by Mac Bid as "open box" items. Open box means something entirely different to Mac Bid than it does to the rest of the world. Open box to Mac Bid is a license to sell garbage. Literal garbage. The table saw looked like it had been on the job site for years. It was covered with paint, the blade was destroyed, the table was rusty, the fence had grooves in it from contacting the blade and the stand and blade guard were missing. The power auger would extend but not retract. The auger had lumps of toilet paper stuck in it. The projection screen had folds in it and the retraction mechanism was missing. They state that every item is reviewed so they can identify the proper category. Apparently none of these items were considered damaged.
Mac says this about damaged items:
Items marked "Damaged" indicate that they could come from a multitude of circumstances - shelf pulls, overstock, customer returns, (CHECK), or any other means. Damaged items could be incomplete, (CHECK) and have not be tested for functionality, (CHECK).
Somehow the items they likely recovered from a dumpster somewhere didn't qualify.
MacBid has a great scam going on. You are charged a lot fee per item, a buyers fee per item, taxed on untaxable items, FORCED to pay a monthly $30 membership fee AND a buyers protection fee. Unless you pay for these items you do not get a refund on items that did not work. 80% of items do not work or are wrong items in package, missing parts, damaged,,, which they do NOT disclose before you bid, If you do not pay for their forced fees you do not get a refund and your out your money and stuck with items that do not work. Their policy states "regardless of membership level all items must be returned within 30 days of auction closing" this is NOT honored and is a lie. It is up to the store managers discretion to refund you or not. Policy means squatt.
Owners made BILLIONS on scamming people. One owner is Shawn D. Allen from Pgh, Pa. BUYER BEWARE If you can afford to get ripped off then shop here, if not go to walmart where you can get a refund on defective items.
