Bulldog Auction House

If they don’t lose your items or if the items are not broken, you’re fortunate, and it’s a good place to shop. But, when they lose your items, or if the items are not as stated (or broken), they will NOT refund your money. Instead, they give you a credit toward your next purchase. I never heard of a business operating that way. No way their getting my business again. I would give them 0 stars, but that’s not possible.

This auction is horrible. All the items are returned merchandise from retail stores and most of them don’t work properly. They don’t mention this on their Auction list and pretend these items are just open box. If you buy an item and find out it is broken, they will not allow you to return it. They are so unprofessional. Not only that, they send emails to every customer to give them positive feedback on Unilocal.They ask you to list your bidder number with your positive review so they will give you 5% off your next purchase (i.e. a bribe for a positive review). Just look at the bidder numbers at the end of all the positive reviews. I strongly recommend that you do not waste your time and money with these people.

Since the store in Camarillo opened I have been an avid fan. I started bidding on the auctions with pretty good success and found the items to be, for the most part, in good shape.
Except for this last auction. Out of seven items I bid on I won three. Out of those three, only one was in working condition. That item was a gaming computer case that was in perfect condition. However, the other two items were very disappointing. One was an RCA compact refrigerator. I had done an inspection on it and it looked to be essentially new. It even had the paperwork and trays still taped in place inside the unit. Unfortunately when I got the fridge home and plugged it in, it would not cool. After a few minutes of running it smelled like it was burning up and just died, Granted, the description of the auction stated it was untested. But even so, I fail to see why someone would not have at least plugged it in to see if it cooled before placing it up for auction. $ 50 lost on that one.
The other item was one of those desktop Daylight units. This one I could not inspect. However, the pictures of the item looked as if it were in new condition. When I picked up the item I knew immediately there was a problem as it sounded like broken glass rattling all over the box. Sure enough, even though the unit was in new condition, the bulbs inside were completely destroyed. The listing for this item made absolutely no mention of a defect or it’s operational capability. Again, I don’t see why they wouldn’t take 15 seconds to plug it in to see if it works, let alone tell you that it is completely broken. My guess is that someone probably dropped it in the warehouse after it listed and shattered the bulbs. I only paid ten bucks for it but to replace the bulbs could cost up to $ 50!
Again, out of everything I have purchased from Bulldog, there has been very little that has been a problem. I do feel, though, that they need to do a better job of checking and describing the items they are placing on auction. They also need to realize that not everyone has the luxury of coming to their locations in the middle of a workday to inspect items prior to bidding. This makes a clear representation of the item in the listing all that more important. If they can’t do that then they should offer to take the items back if they are defective and are not mentioned as being so in the listings.
Had this been the case, I wouldn’t have lost $ 60 on stuff that should have been indicated as non-​working.

Have been with these guys from the beginning. Kevin and Paul always take care of me. Best deals around.

Fabulous! I’ve gotten numerous items from Camarillo and have been very satisfied. I even bought things for my parents and they LOVED them! Everything has been in new, perfect condition. The bidding process is so easy. It’s so good to know you can preview before you bid on something! Such great items in the warehouse and always new stuff coming in. Great customer service by everyone. It’s a MUST! Love this place! Keep up the great work! Bidder 2643

Great and fun auction. Helpful people. I bought a 3D printer here at an insanely great price. — Bidder# 2913

The best kept secret in the Valley. I hate to post this review and tell everyone where I’ve been getting all my bargains from. Love Bulldog!

Just as one of the reviewers said below… hate to give out my secret spot for items but this place is great. Get alot of good deals for great prices! Just make sure you visit to inspect the items before you make a bid on them so you know they meet your standards. The workers are great as well and will answer any questions you have!

What an amazing place to shop. I’ve shopped using their online auctions and in person in their warehouse. Either way I’ve gotten friendly service and incredible savings. Highly recommend.

Great experience buying from them. Items have always been as described, easy pick up and available for questions.

I hate to write this review as I feel I am sharing a secret that I want to keep. These guys are great and I have bought lots from them (for me and for our store). Keep up the great work guys!

After 2 weeks of auctions I am very satisfied with the merchandise they auction off and their multiple locations make it totally worth it.

Great deals and bargains, tons of items every week you can’t lose! Great staff and many locations to choose from to accommodate you wherever you live and work. Thanks again for all the great deals and your monthly raffle drawings! # 2005

This place is pretty good.
They have set pick up times if you win an auction, but will generally work with you if you cannot make it.
They don’t make the 12% additional fee (plus any sales tax) known, only in fine print — so keep that in mind.
There also is no guarantee as to the condition of the product (all sales final) so you are essentially bidding on the what the box looks like

It’s not hard to get addicted to Bulldog Auctions. They offer weekly auctions in Canoga Park and Camarillo. All items start selling for $ 1.00. Once you win an auction; you’re hooked.
I’ve won some great items. Some new, barely used, and some not too good. But the good outweigh the bad.
Try it — you’ll like it!

Excellent place to do business with. Every one of their auction houses has great customer service. Every personnel greets you and assists you promptly and adequately. Will continue to do business with them in store and through the auctions.

I have purchased tons of items from here, the store and the auction. I have gotten 7 sewing machines, one needed slight repair but I youtubed it and fixed it myself. 3 fans, a beautiful beach cruiser, 3 sets of cushions for patio chairs, bed pillows, bed sheets, a hair dryer and the store always has inexpensive cruelty free cleaning items. Some items I’ve gotten have had some issues, but you can go and view the items up for auctions beforehand so this won’t happen. The store and auction staff are always so friendly! And if you have a well behaved pup they can go too. I check the auction every week because they are always putting up new great items! I definitely recommend them to my friends and family!

I have bidded on a few items. The first item I bidded was on a nice juicer I won for $ 30. However, when I brought it home and plug it in, it was no go. The thing did not work at all. $ 30 waisted. i sent a email to the auction and never received a reply. This was over a month ago. The next item I bidded on and won was a inflatable projection screen. When I received the item I took it home, opened the box. Once I plugged it in, I notice one of the fans did not work and the projector screen itself was completely missing. Again, no response. The third thing I won was a actual projector. I was so excited because it looked as if it was never opened from the box. Well I opened the box, so all parts were there. Plug in the projector and it worked! I was so excited, you have no idea. Finally something that actually works or is not missing parts. Well after 15 minutes the damn thing blinked out. I have to keep starting it up over and over in order to keep on. Though getting a great deal on items, is it really worth spending the little money you do spend on items that are missing parts or just do not work at all? No its not. Bid number 2677
