Scam www.govauctionlistservices.com Buyer Beware.

Beware of your electronics being rained on or being damaged by water in the Middlesex College warehouse building 216.

I won a lot of 9 computers on
www.govauctionlistservices.com. I went and paid for them in Eatontown New Jersey on 09/06. After I paid for them, I went to pick up my computers at Middlesex College warehouse building 216. When I went to pick up the CPU's, I gave them my receipt to the warehouse attendant and he showed me my computers. I started loading my car with my computers.

After loading about 6 computers, I noticed that some of the computers were missing part of their shell. These were not visible and impossible to know they were missing because they were under the better ones. Then I picked up one of the panels that had was loose from one of the machines. It was filled with water and another computer was all wet. The computers were in the back and there was no way to visibly see this when I previewed the computers.

Once there was a problem another man came over. His name was Fred Feihl (file). He acknowledged there was water and he said I had to call the office in Eatontown. Fred then called his boss and I spoke to him on his cell phone. The boss could of cared less and said that it was buyer beware. He said that the computers I bought was worth more than I paid for them and he couldn't help me. He said that he was in East Brunswick and to help me, he would have to come to the Middlesex warehouse (which makes no sense). He couldn't be bothered with this problem and said that he couldn't help me. The warehouse attendant said that the machines had been sitting there for about 4 months. Fred then argued with me that there wasn't a leak in the roof which doesn't make sense to me.

If there wasn't a leak in the roof then it makes sense that they maliciously filled the computers up with water which is even crazier.

The weird thing about this was the water had not rusted the metal on the panels and the last time it rained really hard was about 2 weeks ago when the tropical storm came through.

I called the auction liquidation services and there was no answer, so I called the owner. His name is Stephen Miranti. Stephen called me back and said he has been doing this for 15 years. I asked him has he ever seen a problem where water has damaged auction items. He said yes and said, that I should of previewed the items before I bid on them. Stephen said, He had never seen Middlesex county refund an auction item. I told Stephen that, This was an odd situation and that it had nothing to do with the money, it was just the principal of the situation. Stephen then said, he would talk to Jack Garber who is the purchasing agent for the Middlesex, but he thought he would not help me. Then he said it would cost more to return the items to the warehouse than it worth.

The right thing to do in this situation is to refund a customers money and throw out the computers. However, these guys are not honest and will take your money and run.

The moral of this story is, you can't trust Middlesex Surplus items or the places where they are kept and housed before they sold at auction. If these electronics are damaged by water or rain you will have to pay for it! Not the auction or the Middlesex Government or the Auction House that sells these items. This is a scam and I hope you don't scammed also.
