    I've bid on several lots and multiple dates most with no problems but the latest one required that…read moreI travel 180 mile to pick up the lots that I won. After arriving I was informed that the most valuable lot that I had won was removed because of damages it was faucets and they were unopened so I question the damage then I was told they were missing. Only their employees have access to the items so they remove items that they want after you win them and just refund you this is theft of your items made to pay immediately. I will avoid any more purchases from them and know that they have a shady operation!!!

    Looking for a deal? West Auctions is the wrong place. Years ago you could find some used tools at…read morehalf the price but it's a different story in 2023. Items start at $5 and shoot up to 60%-75% of the new retail value before the bidding closes. Paying $60 for a $100 board is a deal...not so fast. Then you pay their premium of 15% and tax of 10%. After adding in 25% ($15) your paying $75. Now you have to get that board. West Auctions is located in Woodland Ca. but pick-up locations are usually where the seller was located which means anywhere from Cresent City to San Diego so, add in some transportation cost. $75+ You must remove the item you won by appointment during a 3-4 day window they provide. If you fail to remove the item...you lose. All items won are immediately charged to the required credit card seconds after the auction closed, so it was yours, then you abandoned it, and then, it's not yours? So adding in the risk of loss, new cost $75++. You jumped through the hoops...you have a truck to transport from the location on the appointment day and time. And when you are finally united with the $100 board that cost you $75++ be prepared for the letdown...no matter how clean, straight, knot-free, or wet that board looked when you 20x magnified the auction photo to count the grains in the wood it will be as close to reality as a Tinder profile. That $75++ board that cannot be returned or exchanged could be dry, cracked, bowed, or twisted with termites and you have no recourse. Real cost $75++(+!) (Dollar amont+ transportation cost +restricted deadline (+!) questionable condition and quality. A $100 board from Home Depot/Lowes is the only deal in this scenario. Unlike Tinder, there is no escaping through a bathroom window. Everything is sold as is, and it is yours. They strongly encourage buyers to preview the items on the viewing day and you should. Everyone thinking about buying ANYTHING through West Auctions needs to see the item up close before it is theirs, the x hour drive to the middle of nowhere will cost less than the disposal fee for your winning item. My last "win" was a pallet of 34 pressure-treated 4x4s in addition to having moss and mold growing on the wood there were only 33 of them. Craig from West Auctions just shrugged and said I miss counted. That did it for me, the downward spiral of West Auctions hit rock bottom with employees so incompetent and rude they cannot perform the skills of a toddler. A business that sells things to buyers as is, will sell complete garbage because they can. Buyer beware! My West Auctions purchase was a waste of time and money learn from my mistake it cost so much that I had to share it.
