As is item does not even work. I purchased a Ryobi 18v battery as a used as is but it does not work even for 1 second. I have emailed twice and got the same reply both times which implies a standard response not specific to my complaint. They said they try their best to test the product which is impossible because when I picked up the item I saw chargers and products which definitely would have allowed for testing to see that it did not work at all. I have been trying for almost 2 weeks to get a yes or no from them but still have not received either, just we try to do our best. About their reply

I bid on a single coffee maker marked as it is and when I tried at home it was broken and with cracked inside. When you pour water on the reservoir it leaks. The item is unusable and a hazard. I did not return because its not worth it to comeback for $8 dollars refund. I ended throwing it in the garbage. They should inspect the item and not to sell.

Buyers beware: I paid $39,000 USD for a medical laser 3 months ago. They asked me for some basics which I sent and then they went radio silent for the past 2 months. I’ve sent text messages to the sales person for the past week with no reply. I spoke to people on the phone who said the owner would call without call back. I won’t speculate but whatever is going on isn’t good. I’ll update this review as things progress but if it’s a large purchase I would heed be careful.

I have purchased items from Gardner Auctions several times within the past but my last experience with them was awful. I won several items, 2 of which were broken and unsable. They did not say "as-is" so I was able to return them - as this was at the start of the pandemic it took a little longer than usual to return items but this was not an issue for me. Upon arriving and doing the return, the gentleman who was there to do the return was very rude and was angry that it was a large item and he had to grab it out of my trunk... I was unable to get out of the car as per their rules. Since then, any

Used this auction house for the first time and won 5 items. Got the items home and all items were damaged or missing parts. They sold me a "used" crockpot where the bottom electrical connection was melted. There is a difference between "used" and useable. Sent them an email to advise them of the issue to see if they would stand behind what they sell. They did not even send a reply. I recommend not using this company as in my opinion they sell broken and damaged items only. Garbage in my eyes.

By far the best auction house there is!! Gardner has no minimum bid to return faulty items unlike Mackenzie’s that refuses to return anything under $20. Gardner opens, inspects and photographs their items..... also something the competitors do not ever do. The staff has always been warm, friendly and accommodating. I feel like I am appreciated as a customer and that fact will keep us coming back. Thanks Mark, Nancy, Jessica and Jessica for the enormous effort you put in to your auctions and your exemplary customer service.

Simply the best. They quickly inspect items and offer a few day return policy. Unlike many others in the industry who do neither. Amazing staff and the rare occasion something is missed or defective within 4 days they’ll take care of it. Strongly recommend Gardner . I’ve bought from 8 others this is by far best overall

Quick and convenient pickup after my purchase. The auctions have some decent finds, but beware I am pretty sure that I saw one of my amazon returns that did not work on the site. That said the two purchases that I made worked flawlessly and have nothing bad to say about my experience. Limited parking onsite and located in an industrial area of south east London.

Usually thrilled with our purchases. Can get some amazing deals, and the very few returns we've had to make have been painless. Most of the staff are friendly and terrific (although the ones who aren't are hilariously awful). But who cares; it's all about the deals.
Thanks to the return policy I feel more confident bidding at Gardner rather than McKenzie.
