I bid on a couple of lots. However, they are selling all the sheet metal, small items, and other lots as a complete group and if the bid for the group exceeds what the individual lots gross then the bidders of the individual lots just wasted their time, hell of a way to run an auction... 
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Yeap: had that happen to me once or twice. Spent hours bidding only to be told "Sorry-you all should have bid more". Last time I dealt with that auctioneer. Other resellers will also go under as inventory dwindles.

Tamraz has been dicey for many years. Notorious for selling cheaper than others on items they didn't have.  EDIT: wonder if any of those boxes are empty?  and what happens if one gets an empty box?

I've gotten crap parts in unopened boxes from AMD before so I'm not quick to blame the retailer.
One was a wheel well that had been overstretched and cracked, then migged together. Mostly unnoticeable until you looked at the inside where you could see the weld bead
Another was a pair of A-body bumpers that looked like a band saw had cut into on the edge of one side. Both were identical. The second one was a replacement for the first one. I figure there was a whole stack of them that way. They finally got it right on #3.
Yeah I know, be thankful we've got some parts, OK sure right.

I called NPD and they apologized and said we'll issue a refund. OK, you wanna send a call tag for the bumper? he replied No we have a warehouse full of them LMAO 🤣🤣. So I sold it to a buddy who put the park lights in it and mounted it on the wall to use as a shelf behind his man cave bar. NPD is a great vendor in my experiences over the years
