The location in Fullerton, Ca was formerly open to the public under the name of California Outlets.  It was great for the public.  buying salvaged items at reasonable prices; no refunds, no returns.  Last year they closed public access and became a Liquidation.com location and things will never be the same.  They have no time for the "little guy" who might be an ebay sellor or flea market (that's me) seller.

And I would certainly agree that they must have shill bidders; everything goes up at the last minute.
