Bidding at some of these auctions can be a trap, especially with IT stuff. While in some cases you can inspect it, you can't actually turn it on to see if it works. And, as houghy pointed out, you sometimes have to buy a pallet load at a time.

Also it pays to read the detail carefully and if in doubt, contact the auctioneer.
For example in the auction I mentioned, there were several lots of LCD monitors
that seemed to be a bargain until looking closer, at least one of them was a lot of faulty monitors returned for warantee repair.
