Trading standards really need to do something about John Pye. Firstly they advertise and photograph the lots as if they're brand new. There's absolutely nothing that's brand new. They advertise to the general public & this must be because when someone has been ripped off once, they won't go back. Before you bid on anything, think to yourself about reasons you've ever returned an item! They may look fine, but motors in pressure washers don't work, hard drives or consoles can be sealed but have usually been dropped. I've seen people bid on things making them close to retail price and that's simply stupid! You should treat everything as if it doesn't work and only ever buy things that you know you can fix or get fixed. As for the tvs, they're usually ex display and have usually been on 24/7 for 2 years! Which is far more hours than their usual lifetime would expect. It may last a month & you've gone from saving £50, to wasting £250. John pie also shil bid on their own lots if many accounts are watching. This is in fact illegal. I can't stress this enough, only bid at a price that something is worth if it's broken. You must assume items don't work. Especially if you haven't seen them in person.
