Rigged items to outbid in the last seconds!
Auction items are rigged to outbid, then close the auction at the last seconds of the auction! When asked for explanations, I got “ since I did not see it, it did not happen”. Most NON-PROFESSIONAL COMPANY THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! Wish this was an isolated incident, but this is number 3, and my last! First, bought an UNUSED 50K trailer. Broken air supply line and most lights did not work. Had to pull it home, 13 hours back, half in the dark! NO WHERE WERE THESE DEFECTS MENTIONED IN THE AUCTION! NO COMPENSATION FOR THESE REPAIRS! Second, bought an UNUSED grapple bucket. Broken fitting on the hydraulic cylinder and damaged hydraulic hose, again, not advertised! This time, the local manager paid for the repair parts, only. Now, bidding on a skid steer backhoe attachment. Bid a half hour before closing time. Had the winning bid until 3 seconds of closing time, and the bid jumped, and the auction closed, before I had a chance to increase my bid. THREE TIMES, and I am done with bullshit from Ritchie Bros. Auctions! BUYER BEWARE!
