salvage cars - Complaint
A while back there was a topic on this company in which I shared my encounter with ridesafely.com . I entered a bid in their rigged style of auction , at the close of auction I was the high bidder on a wrecked 2005 Chevy truck . To complete my terms of the agreement I need to bank wire them a deposit . The next day I was informed that my bid was not high enough so they would not complete the deal . I requested a refund and it took them over three week and a dozen phone calls to get my money back. They also kept $ 8.00 for a check fee. Keep in mind I had to pay my bank $ 18.00 to wire the funds. I will never do business with them again .
Please feel free to share your experience with this company .

Did they say they would not sell unless a minimum amount was reached? If so, why did you send them money knowing it was not reached? If they din't say so they may be forced to sell at the low price...check with an attorney.

No ,they said anything about a minimum price . They just called me after the close of auction to confirm my bid and inform me that they will require $ 400.00 as a deposit. I sent a wire transfer as requested ( which cost me $ 18.00 from my bank ) The following day they said that the bid was not high enough . Meanwhile , I had bid on a few other trucks and won those auctions as well . They offered to roll my deposit to one of the other trucks and wanted and deposit and the 3rd . Later that day I was informed that the bid was not high enough and I could place another offer . At that time I told them to forget it and I would rather just have a refund . Now I get a song and dance and I need to speak to another dept in the morning . Of course no answer , just passed off to a voice mail . Long story short ..... It took almost a month to get a refund of my $ 400.00 , and they had the nerve to keep $ 8.00 for a check fee . Anyone thinking of doing business with these people , do yourself a favor and just save your money . There were a few other horror stories on here about other who got ripped off , but they are no longer on here . It kinda makes you wonder .

Yep I got ripped myself. They are nothing more than a scam operation. Claiming they don't charge the customer...WRONG They take everyone who is a fool to send them money. I even called the pickup point for my auction and they claimed they were a bit shady as well. Cars were several days if not weeks delayed in showing up...etc...STAY AWAY...

DO NOT USE !!!!!!
DO NOT TRUST !!!!
This company was supposed to be bidding for a motorcycle for me. Never put the bid in !!
Told me they had a computer glich.... Gave me the run around for 2 days. My max bid was $1500 dollars over what the bike went for.
Peter "Sales guy" Alex "floor manager"
Both told me they would be calling me back. never received a call.
These guys dropped the ball on the only thing they do !!!
Sorry for all the !!! but if you lost a bid because of incompetence you would be doing !!!! too.
