    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct::
    Arizona Attorney General v Auction Nation LLC

    The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.

    On January 25, 2022, Auction Nation LLC entered into a Stipulated Consent Decree with The Arizona Attorney General. The Consent settles allegations that the business engaged in unfair and deceptively bidding in their own auctions, falsely drove up prices for items and, as a result, collected millions of dollars from legitimate auction participants who were unaware the "house" was manipulating the auction process. Under terms of the consent, the business agrees to pay $210,000 in restitution to consumers.

    This action is final.

    I was bidding on construction tools and heavy equipment from what appeared to be part of a business liquidation sale. Just before the auction ended, prices climbed as they normally do and then they extended the auction for another week to ****** more bids and raise prices with no notice. Now the items I technically won have been taken down from the site. This is very unethical. I'd rather buy new and skip the hassle. I will be closing my account and withdrawing my bids. I hope that the ** is paying attention to this business.
