Do NOT use PW!!! During my auction last month to sell air movers and dehumidifiers, etc., I cannot tell you how many bidders told me they had been locked out of bidding--during the last hour they could NOT place a bid. They expressed sympathy over the fact, I lost thousand of dollars. I was told ...

Did not protect honest bid. I bid on a truck from 6000 to 15000 and they emailed me later that day. Said there erroneous bid so they sold it the next day. I didnt see the email till after they resold it. The high bidder should have had to pay 15500 plus 10% buyers fee. They should have called me as...

Don't buy Purplewave! They are not trustworthy! Do not trust description, pics and videos! Items are misrepresented! Truck was listed as mechanically functional and was shown to start and run in listing. Drove 3 hours to pick it up and batteries were bad. $450 for batteries, then shredded belt, beca...

I don't want to see Canada West items on any of the equipment auctions. They should sell though a separate sale date. Also I have stopped selling and buying on Purple Wave due to high fees without much publicity. Auctiontime, RB Auction, and Iron planet are much better places to buy and sell.

I wouldn t waste your time trying to sell anything with them. I tried to sell my car twice on their auction and both times it sold but they never made the buyer pay for the car and they ended up waiting to long to go to the next bidder to see if they wanted the car. I wasted several months on them, ...

I have now sold my boat and this last auction I sold my truck. I have been very pleased with Purple Wave and the staff is wonderful. My account is an old number so I have been with them for many years and I see people complaining about PW when in fact while reading their post it's plain to see they ...

I've really had a mixed bag on this site. I've had some good stuff I bought, but a recent purchase I didn't feel was represented honestly, and their response was that I should have personally inspected it. Now I am stuck with the item that was three hours away. I understand purplewave didn't misrepr...

Purple Wave has seller agree to a full discloser agreement however Purple Wave doesn't enforce or follow up with it. It is just a technicality. I bought a piece of equipment that had several issues with it. None of which was disclosed. The worst problem was that they welded the spindle nut on so...

Seller told me a bucket would fit the excavator I was purchasing. When I went to pick up the equipment it was clear that I bought a bucket that was worthless to me.

I understand that PurpleWave is not at fault here, my problem with them is the complete lack of customer service from them. I contac...

Auction process was easy to navigate. It's always important to read all the instructions so you understand all terms and conditions such as the 10% buyers premium and where the items are actually located. But my overall experience was great. Everyone has been very friendly.

Bought a Telehandler from purple wave and felt like it was misrepresented, had many issues that were not mentioned in the listing. Ended up putting 6500 dollars worth of used parts into the machine just to get it usable. Contacted purple wave and they refunded us 1000 dollars and said we should have...
