I SPENT £777 ON JOHN PYE AUCTIONS 

Thanks for this, was about to have a look but don't think I will bother now.

Hi JDenis, nice video! Most of people who buy from Auctions should see this video before the make their bids. However, I don't think it is the auction house's fault. It is simply because people do not know the following 3 rules before they buy anything from this kind of auction. 1. There is always a reason why the item was sent to an auction. Normally it is because the condition is not suitable to re-sell from a dealer. If you can re-sell it as Used condition on Amazon, you wouldn't leave it to be auctioned from 0. 2. Unless you know the item or know how to fix it, do not buy something you never seen before. You will end up pay additional labour to fix it. 3. If you can, always view the item before you palce any bid on it. A perfectly sealed box can have a broken item inside.

It was good to watch your video...im with you all the way...ive just spent over £600 and at least £550 straight in the bin....its pretty shocking. the main lesson i have learned is under no circumstances...never ever buy anything electrical...as per a comment below...there is a reason why the item was returned. :(

Had some up's and downs with them .. Some stuff was good, worked, kept some and sold some stuff, some stuff was junk, some stuff was incorrectly packaged (so unless you are there in person to see you won't know if the actual item is in the box unless it is in the photo) and the added on fee's are absolutely ridiculous. VAT, buyers fee, high delivery costs through DPD (which will obviously not cost John Pye that amount) and VAT on top of the delivery fee ... absolutely fucking scandalous ...

Shocking! They should be sued for these practices.

I buy items from this place and sell them on. Last lot I had I found an electric bike in full working condition. We tend to stick to buying furniture as you can see what the items are like. I stay away from electronics and go and see the stuff before the auction. Pallets are now rubbish so we stick to other items

Yesterday I got a two packages .. in both lot items are faulty ..

Its 45% now. its hilarious. better of going to ebay. It should be illegal not to disclose if an item works or not. I've only bought furniture. Seems the safest bet. but now they put a "premium TAX" on EVERYTHING. You should have done a charge back.

anything ive bought from john pye has been fine

I just discovered this website and I don't understand why people bid 20-22 pounds for 3 paks of coffe sachets when they sell for 10 in Asda

Very True. Specially Electrical Items are waste of money. Anything you buy from John Pye has hidden faults or broken somewhere so thank you very much for your video to create this awareness.

If you cannot view your items I would seriously consider not bidding. I receive a box of broken bits and could not get a refund!

John Pye put false prices on items - very high prices which encourages bidding war. So it’s a way of increasing their income and revenue. Big scam

I don't see how any of you are making profits. The bids are so high, then when you factor in BP and VAT, your own time for reselling, packaging, posting etc. Like even something that costs £10, with delivery is near on £25 to your door.

You should never but things like heater etc from these guys , only thing I might ever buy is plumbing stuff and the odd computer with damage

don't be fooled, I bought a printer that I don't have and now I'm asking for my money and nothing. And when they send anything, it's dirty or broken

Buying electronics on John Pye is a waste.

Stay away from the electricals

Did you get your deposit back?

Absolutely shocking, still the same copy-paste reply from the Customer Support team.

Don't get excited, it's just garbage. :) :)
