TechLiquidators

I decided to give this company one final chance and purchased a lot of 64 Shokz headphones that were advertised as tested, used, and fully functional. Unfortunately, 30 of the 64 units were non-functional. The issues included defective buttons, blown speakers, and units that would not charge.

Based on the number and type of defects, it is difficult to believe these items were actually tested before being sold. These are problems that should have been identified during even a basic functionality check.

I encourage other buyers to exercise caution when bidding on inventory from this company and to carefully evaluate the condition of the items they receive. My experience did not match the description provided.

They don't answer calls; the new account approval process is incredibly slow and archaic, and they make things more complicated than they need to be. The help number listed on the website is just for show because no one answers, and the email support is poor and unprofessional.

They pick the "gold" and sell you the "dirt"

Headline: Not a true liquidation site—just a dumping ground for their unsellable junk.

I’ve been watching this company fall apart over the last few years. TechLiquidators used to be a reliable source for resellers, but now it’s a complete waste of capital. The business model has clearly shifted: they are now cherry-picking their own manifests.

The Inventory is Pre-Filtered
It’s obvious that they inspect every single piece of inventory before it ever hits the site. They pull the high-quality, lightly used items to resell through their own direct channels for a higher profit. What they send to this platform as "Used" is actually just the bottom-of-the-barrel junk that they couldn't sell themselves.

"Used" is a euphemism for "Trash"
Don't be fooled by the "Used" descriptions. While they claim the items are simply pre-owned, you will almost always receive products in the worst possible condition. We’re talking heavy cosmetic damage, missing essential parts, and items that are barely functional. Because Best Buy now sells their own quality open-box gear directly, TechLiquidators has become the final stop for items that s

Just found an auction with an item listed at $999

Its value is nowhere near that amount; it’s maybe 100 at most. They are overvaluing items for a reason. I will now show you AI's reasons for this.

-ALWAYS CAREFULLY CHECK THE MAINFEST!!!-

This list of reasons for auction overvaluation was generated by a very accurate AI model:

🚨 Reasons for Auction Overvaluation

• Shill Bidding/Fake Demand: The liquidator or their associate places phony bids to create the illusion of competition and drive the price up.

• False Price Anchoring: Listing an inflated Original MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) in the description to make the final winning bid seem like a better deal psychologically.

• Profit Maximization: A higher sale price directly increases the liquidator's commission (buyer's premium), maximizing their own revenue.

• Competitive Bias: Leveraging buyer psychology to force bidders to raise their offers simply to win the perceived bidding war, fueled by the high initial valuation.

Lots of red flags with this liquidation platform, buyer confidence is at an all-time low, the future of techliquidators.com remains uncertain due to lo

Everything that is marked used and tested is not in fact tested at all. Most of the stuff here is completely broken, missing parts, dirty and just completely inaccurate. Would stay away and they are definitely manipulating the bidding.

Complete scam, I do not know how they continue to stay in business. They have an automatic bot that bids against you which is highly illegal, they do not disclose this information in the auction listing. A few weeks later you will see the same lot back on the website or they break it down into smaller lots.

The product is all repair stock/junk, yet they claim "Used Working" which again is false advertisement. They need to be investigated by the attorney general. Sick and tired of their fraud. We have lost thousands dealing with this company, you will never receive the correct condition or quantity that is advertised.

The computer monitors are all junk with many having bleeding and cracked screens. They are by law supposed to carefully recycle these, yet they claim "Used Working" and pass them off to unsuspecting customers.

Any lots that are actually good, you will never be able to obtain at a fair price due to the illegal bots that have coded into the bidding process. If you do win, you will never make a profit.

Purchased a lot of graphics cards at auction with Best Buy via TechLiquidators. They are knowingly committing fraud against their customers and have admitted as such multiple times --- even their own leadership is aware.

Date of transaction March 7th.

Cost of this one transaction: $910

BestBuy committed to provide 3 specific models of graphics card. They then proceeded to send 3 completely different models of video card. All of which are lower less expensive models.
IE: RTX 4080 instead of a RTX 4080 Super

Dispute is based on the fact that BestBuy has a repeated history of violating their own terms of what they are selling and shipping. Their own staff do not bother to verify items and if sold in a salvage condition they claim they can ship anything they want to you even a piece of trash and its meets their conditions.

Business is aware of their own wrong-doing but is not willing to make it right according to their own support staff whom I have been talking with. Specifically Heather (with optoro support).

The problem is they are taking items that have been box swapped. Then auctioning them off as the original item --- when they know for a fact they are not. Internally they e

How does this so-called company stay in business?

Why doesn't someone shut them down? What good is the BBC.

Terrible , product is very very used and broken, even if advertised NEW. do not buy there

Horrible company. Missing items, especially the more expensive ones when you open up the pallet. They also operate a scam by bidding up on all the listings.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS ABSOLUTE JUNKHOLE OF A COMPANY. THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OPERATED BY A BUNCH OF LYING LOSERS WHO ARE COMPLETELY USELESS. I ORDERED A LOT WHICH WAS MISSING 3 ITEMS AND THEY DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP AND COULDN' OPEN A CLAIM. SHUT DOWN AND REPORT THESE SCAMMING LOSERS.

I ordered somthing from them that said 5 items. When i received the package it only had 4 items and the most expensive item is what was missing and the 4 other items are relatively worthless compared to that one that was missing, then they gave me a run around. Not to mention for shipping cost on the 4 items that (could have easily ben packed in smaller box and weighed less than 10lbs) they charged 200dollers for shipping after I bought it and I didnt know about that until I won the auction. Plus the bidding on the auctions on that website you can tell they have somone bidding higher to try ripping people off because then they get relisted again on the site when they dont sell. Avoid these people at techliquidators.com they were horrible in my experience and they ripped me off.

Garbage Products and very bad managers

Purchased a "like new" condition lot, which should have minimal wear. 3/5 items had severe damage, which requires professional care/repairs, and happened to be the most valuable items. I reached out to support, and their solution was to refund me much less than what the items were worth by overvaluing the items that didn't have a problem, making this option lose me money. I asked for a partial refund instead to have the items fixed, and am now not receiving a reply. Even if I did get a refund, this is a huge waste of time and the descriptions are a complete lie. A "like new" product should have minimal cosmetic wear and no functional damage. I received severe functional damage and they offer horrible help. According to the stickers on the order, these items have been sitting for years, likely causing these damages, and likely don't get checked before being sent out. Lastly, the items are packaged horribly. The box the items were in was completely rotten and ripped from one side. It had no packing, making the items inside fly around and hit each other and the box. The bags with the items were also already partially ripped. Some items don't have proper labeling/stickers, and one item

100% Fraudulent, buyers please beware. I have been purchasing from this site techliquidators for many years which is owned by Best Buy and recently fulfilled/operated by Optoro Inc. They openly advertise "Used Like New" and will send you salvage completely broken items mixed in with Used - C grade barely working or very poor condition products or completely different lower value models and items not advertised. This is not a one-time mishap or accident by them, this has happened to me over and over again for many years concluding that they are purposely doing this and it is part of their business model.

I have purchased from most of their categories throughout the years and I can tell you from my experience that they are purposely misleading and defrauding many people and small businesses. Their new operator/management, Optoro Inc. (BULQ.com) has taken this fraud to new levels I never imagined.

Their entire customer service staff is trained to run in circles and then pass the phone/e-mail to a colleague when you ask for a supervisor or upper management to run in more circles. They will try and manipulate you until you until you lose your mind and then only offer you a fraction

Do not bid on this website, they bid on their own auctions if the price is too low. You can tell because the same auction is relisted a week later.

I had been watching a several auctions.
The same undercovered bidders are raising price by bidding on almost every item.
If you did not jump into the fake (Game)
They are relisting items a few days later.
Scammers.Waist of time.

The whorst in the game they sold me stolen airpods
0 professionalism i recomand to nobody

Selling fake items..they will remove parts from electronics and put fake parts in them. If you buy salvage lot expect them to be very dirty and unhealthy with all kinds of bad stuff on them. Be very careful they will also refuse refunds if you file too many complains.

Fraud, They dont send your item, Waste of Time

The process is fine and all, really it is the way they choose to mislead by listing "returns" and "exchanges" in the same category.

The difference between the two is huge, so just bear in mind you are probably bidding on stuff that was used and worn down before being traded in. You are most likely not bidding on stuff that was purchased, and then returned within some 30-day return window.

Horrible customer service. They response one time every month

Package was lost for 1 month. i didn't receive a any response for 2 weeks, and I only received a response from on the 4th week, after threatening them with Legal action.
They then closed my account. Items never received. They stated they are going to refund me, but i have not received a refund, and or the Check they stated they will send.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!
THEY ARE ALL CHERRY PICKED FROM GEEK SQUAD NOW.

THERE IS NO LONGER ANY PHONE SUPPORT. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY.

I REPEAT DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY

Won an auction for some laptops that clearly stated "working" condition. It also stated the units had 256GB ssd storage, power adapters and embedded COA's for Windows 10 Pro. So I bid ACCORDINGLY.

What did I receive? All of them have 128GB ssd's, not 256 as listed. Three of the five units are missing their embedded COA's. One unit does not work and one power adapter isn't even in the realm of being correct for the model.

When I emailed them, what did they say? Nothing. Nada. No repsonse. Clearly, they listed these items incorrectly, to their benefit. I spent more on them due to their listed specs. And received something less. Scam much? It doesn't take a genius to quickly determine the specs of a "working" pc. Their lack of response speaks volumes. Will not buy from again. At least when I get scammed on eBay, which is rarely, I have an avenue to solve the problem. With TL, you do not.

UPDATE - after 10 or so days, I finally rcvd a response. And eventually a solution, which amounted to a partial refund. Which did happen and has posted. What left me scratching my head was the invoice vs the manifest. Manifest clearly showed the details of what was bid on. The invoice however, show

This company has a bad reputation of selling damage or non working systems which needs to go straight to the recycle plants, im sure they do not want to pay the recycling fees so they instead misrepresent the items been sold. How is anyone in their right mind sell 30, 50-60" TVs to a customer with all broken screens and list it as functional. What do you want us to do with it? Then they tell you people buy them for the gold in it, humm. Please be careful buying anything from this company as they are scams and misrepresentation of what they sell aka its useless as it will go straight to the recycle.

I spent 10k on buying phones thinking that I will make some money but after receiving the items I don't think I can even recover my own money as the products are really in bad shape. Who will buy phone ia 500 dollars with lots of scratches or dents or scuffs.
They allow only qualified sellers to bid. Knowing this they should send only those products which can sell.
Never had any packaging just misleading the buyers.
Some items are defective and don't even work at all. I think their Ontario branch is better than BC. Overall very poor service.

Terrible experience. Items showed up damaged and was given an extremely hard time. Will never shop here again. Waste of time.

I purchased an auction for ~$17.5k of digital cameras in Grade C - Working condition that were stated to be in functioning condition, however when I received them several of them did not work. In addition, every single camera was stripped of all removable parts including essential components for the cameras to function (the internal batteries).

I contacted a service rep from TechLiquidators about the material misrepresentation of the lot and they told me despite the auction stating working and functional condition that it was part of their policy that no returns were allowed even if the products didn't work.

They also stated that despite the auction stating "Some may or may not include original packaging and accessories."; that none of their auctions regardless of grade would ever include any accessories. This is another example of how they are misleading customers under the Best Buy brand.

Very poor customer service. They made no attempt to work towards a resolution. Displayed zero empathy for their contradicting descriptions. Unconscionable terms and conditions. I have contacted Best Buy Corporate Offices.
