We are a company that deals in scrap and recycling. We purchased an auction lot from government liquidation (Doing business as DOD surplus, LLC) that was described as approximately 20,000 lbs of stainless steel. We paid just over 12,000.00 for the lot. We sent a truck to pick-up the lot, and upon weighing the the lot, it only weighed 14,000 pounds... Way short of the advertised 20,000 pounds.

The person at government liquidation signed and took a copy of the weight ticket and told us to simply call up their headquarters in Arizona, and they would refund us due to the shortage.

Once we got the lot delivered to the scrap yard we looked at the metal (analyzed it with a metal gun), and almost NONE of it was stainless steel. Just worthless TIN!

Government liquidation ripped us off! We spent 12,000.00 on Tin worth around 500.00... When we called them up, they told us we had to submit a "claim form". We did and waited over 20 days to hear back... And their reply was "CLAIM DENIED"!!!

They denied our claim stating that all their auctions are buyer beware, and that we should have inspected the property prior to bidding on it! How is an inspection supposed to tell us what the lot weighs? How can we analyze the metal in the lot if we cannot take samples... Oh yeah, and how can we even do an inspection if you won't let anyone on the lot in the first place???
We are going to hire an attorney, file fraud charges with the local police department, and call the BBB. Any other ideas would be appreciated!
