Ubid held an Auction for 5 Gateway FX4710 UB802A CORE 2 QUAD 2.5GHZ DESKTOP PC's The auction seller was Re-Tek Corporation. Once the auction was over I got the email saying I had won the Auction, another buyer had won the 4 others. A few days after the auction I got an email saying that the items were not available, and a replacement system was being offered or they would cancel the Order and give me a $40.00 coupon. The replacement system was nowhere near compareable, but they were going to offer it at the same price.in the passing of emails I found out who the seller was who was auctioning the items off, and visited there website and found they had the exact same computer I bid on for sale. See url http://retekdirect.com/gatewayfx4710ub802acore2quad25ghzdesktoppc. Aspx at 675.00. The auction price was 380.00.
What I can only deduce by this is that Retek didnt not like the price their items went for in auction, and withheld the items from uBidid. Ubid needs to check thier sellers out a bit better. Bidding on items on the Ubid site is like entering into a contract. Thier sellers when placing items for sale through uBid enter into a contract. On my part both companies are in breach of contract.
