Meenaben - We are sorry to hear you are not pleased with your recent experience. As we value all feedback, our team has looked into your account in order to understand what occurred. As you mentioned, another bidder placed a bid of $485 close to the end of the auction which pushed your bid up to your max bid of $500. We do not engage in or condone 'spammy' behavior as you described and are transparent with both our bidders and sellers. Please contact our office with any further questions and we would be happy to help and resolve any concerns.

The PCI Auction East Coast website was easy to navigate and to review items for sale and bid on. The directions and process to secure item that I bid on was easy to understand. The people at the Manheim site were helpful and assisted with placing the item in the trailer. The item that I purchased was a single stainless steel sink with sideboard. The condition of the item was fair to good. Which was what I was expecting.

Thank you Craig! We are happy to hear that our team provided a great experience and that you were pleased with the product you won! We hope to have the opportunity to help you in future auctions!

Shady business, items Not as described. I get it, it is an auction, items are sold as is. However when an item is represented, described, and pictured complete and working. You expect it to be. That was not the case. When I received my item. It was clearly broken in pieces. But the pictures showed it complete. And I do not mean the stock pictures they use all over their listings. These were pictures of the actual product. Instead of owning up to their mistakes they make up excuses, and refuse to do what is right. Very poor customer service. Wonder how long they will stay in business? I read several reviews about their total lack of good detailed descriptions. And the response by their management on how they provide the best descriptions possible. Well...... Here's how they do it. Learned this talking to their employees. They have a person taking the pictures. The images are then sent to someone in an office who writes the description based on the images. The person writing the descriptions never actually touches the products.

Brian - As a company committed to exceeding expectations of our bidders and sellers, we take reviews and feedback very seriously. Our team has the highest level of integrity and does not attempt to mislead or deceive bidders with the photos of our items as you described. We appreciate you choosing our auction house for multiple years and 40+ items over the years. With this experience, you are familiar with our process and have chosen to continue using our services. As you know, we provide multiple images on our website to show the state of the item and always encourage bidders to visit our warehouse and preview items in person or contact our office with any questions. If you have additional questions or concerns we can help with please contact our office.

I should have looked here first and seen that they have a habit of screwing over customers! We bid and won an espresso machine that looked great in their pictures and they listed that the only thing wrong with it was that it was missing a hopper lid. When we went to pick up the item, the front was off the machine and we could tell the wires were cut. I called the espresso machine company and learned that wires are cut when a machine gets decommissioned and the front plate is broken so that it cannot be hidden that its a decommissioned machine. When I emailed PCI to let them know this, they just keep informing me that there was no way for them to know the item was broken and per their policy, they will not issue any refund because all items are listed "as is". I explained that they had to know it was broken and chose to be deceitful in pictures and descriptions, but still getting no where with them. I told them I would give them one more opportunity to make it right before posting reviews, and here we are. So, Bidder beware. They are very deceitful and will not accept any responsibility when wrong!!!

Christopher - We are sorry to hear you are not pleased with your recent item. As our team informed you, we are unable to test every item and unless the item description specifically states "Tested and Working" we cannot validate the state of the item. We encourage all bidders to visit our warehouse to see the item in person or call our office with questions. We include multiple images of the item to portray the current state as best as possible online and do not engage in deceitful behavior to hide the state of items as you suggested. If you have further questions, please contact our office.

They should not be in business Money hungry people. I had a bidding from the weekend that I usually will pay cash since they would charge $10/day storage fees no matter what size the item. It could be a piece of paper and they would still charge the storage fee. I run a a restaurant and their office manager and their staff was badgering me during a lunch rush demanded a $15 payment. I said give me a moment; I was in lunch rush. less than 2 hours later she emailed, called and texted demand for the $15 payment and proceed to disable my account. She is a new manager and the previous manager never done ridiculous action like this. This is an embarrassment to me, and my business and I deserve public apology on my Google review.

We are sorry to hear that you did not have a great experience, our team is following up with you to work to resolve your concerns.

Overall I've been buying from PCI for several years, since meeting the owner as part of a Chamber program. Auctions are something that requires attention to detail and acknowledgement that there can be grey areas of information. However I have experienced PCI staff well overall and the products live up to their descriptions. I think the equipment you can buy through PCI can be a great deal if you're mindful of doing your own research and having clear expectations around what it is you're bidding on.

Wow - we truly appreciate you taking the time to share this kind review and trusting our team these past years!

Item not as listed. Auction said it was a steam table. When I got it home, there is no plug, no electrical box, no gas hookup nothing that can make it actually heat. Contacted them and they cannot understand the difference between a steam table and a cold table. They keep telling me it was listed correctly that it is a steam table. When I ask for them to explain to me how it is a steam table with no way of heating anything I keep getting the same response, it's a steam table. Great customer service, all you do all day is deal with restaurant equipment yet know nothing about it.

Christopher - We are sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the item you won as we take customer satisfaction very seriously. We have looked further into your account and the item's photos, bid sheet, and description in order to better understand what led to this confusion. The table you won is able to be used as both a steam and a cold table. We do understand that purchasing an item through auction can be challenging and because of this include a variety of photographs to show the current state and we also encourage bidders to visit the warehouse or call with any questions. The table has multiple photos online that showed all sides of the unit and allowed you to see that there was not a current heating component and that the buyer could utilize the table in the manner they preferred. The original usage of the table was as a steam table which is why it was labelled this way however it may be used in whichever way you prefer. If there is anything additional our team may assist you with, please contact our office so we may further talk through your concerns.
