Beware GL auctions with mandated riggers

[98G]

Does that mean you will be suspended from buying things now

If you mean me....no. GL doesn't much care if you abandon stuff, as long as you pay. They keep your money and sell the stuff again.

They sold me a rockwell drill at PH in Michigan. Nobody but me bid and I got it at $25. It was nice, 3 phase and had a nice vice. I planned on ordering a frequency control to go 1 to 3 phase. While trying to schedule pickup, I got a message from the site contact that they had listed the wrong drill press and wanted to cancel the sale. But at the end, she offered another (of course lesser machine and value). I let GL know my displeasure, since the add identified the machine by serial number and photo's.

I decided not to push (given the small amount of money) but go ahead and pick up what was offered. The PH people helped, gave me a nice drill press and tailgate loaded it. I thank the PH people...because it seemed GL was content to renege on the sale with no cost to them, only a waste of my time (eventually a refund probably).

They sold a bunch of stuff from Dow Chemical in Midland Mi last year and you had to use their approved contractors to load and pretty much had hire one of their transporters to get it off Dow property to their terminal.

Yes. I worked on some Dupont property so know what you mean...tight restrictions. I no longer carry the insurance to do that stuff, just bonding for electrician.
