My understanding is they are scavengers. They buy up assets (industrial surplus; parts, machines, etc.) from folded businesses and resell them. They sell so many different things they can't possibly know what they all are. They just put a price on and wait; if it doesn't sell, they lower and wait, repeat, until if nobody has bought it in so long they basically give it away. Because they have little clue what they are selling, their descriptions are very lacking. It can be very hard to search their website for something because the P/N isn't in the description or theyv'e called it the wrong thing; you have to browse, search is almost useless. They don't know if it works and it isn't worth their time to test it. They buy in bulk and move a lot of product. You can get some amazing deals there but it's sort of a gamble, and maddening to find what you want.
