Off The Truck Liquidators — Local services in Margate

I’m all about honest reviews… so here it goes. I have been purchasing items from this store for over three years. This is a liquidation store. The owner buys pallets of merchandise that have either been opened and returned, damaged during shipping to the actual retail store or overstock items that have never been opened or touched before. I live two hours away from this store, and I absolutely enjoy watching the online auctions. I have saved so much money and have gotten so many great deals that the auctions keep pulling me back in. I have four kids and it has been a lifesaver for Christmas through the year. I purchased things that normally would cost me three times more in a store and save them for Christmas and that way by the end of the year I have more to give my children for Christmas. The store allows you to budget your money if you’re wise. After reading some of the reviews on here, the one and only thing I can come close to agreeing with, out of any of them, is that SOME of the items might be the SAME price as in retail stores or just a little less but NEVER overpriced BECAUSE these items are coming from Target not Walmart, AND he is running a business too, not a donation center. I would say 98% of the things he sells are discounted. ALSO, you receive bigger discounts on items when you purchase or win them through the online auction! Mike, Laura and everyone else I have ever encountered there has been nothing but a good experience. To point out as well, A lot of reason for the negative comments are from people who don’t pick up their things in a timely manner and they don’t like being reminded 100 times to pick up the items they chose to buy. As I mentioned I live two hours north from Margate and Mike has been more than understanding on holding my things longer than he should have. He makes it perfectly clear that items need to be picked up because the revenue is what pays for the new trucks and the running of his business. He understands when life happens but people take advantage of that. There’s no excuse for items to be held for three months, especially if you live within an hour of the business . People get mad because of their own faults and lack of responsibility. Off the truck liquidators is an honest business and gives people a nice break from big company prices. I encourage anyone to watch a couple auctions and I guarantee there will be something for everyone. Keep in mind, though like I said, some of these things are returns back to target, so some things may be open and taken out of the boxes. Most items are new and discounted. If there’s ever been an issue with anything I bought, Mike has always fixed my problem....

You can become confused very quickly inside the store because of the massive amount of merchandise to select. Don't hesitate to ask the staff as they are extremely polite and courteous and able to explain the pricing . Essentially items and the bins will have their price vary from day to day from $6 to as low as a dollar each but each day there is a new price on each bin item. Items stocked up against the walls and in other areas are considered priced items and their static pricing only changes if there is a discount applied and that is where you must clarify with the staff so that you know what you are paying for. They do have a deal on stuff a bag and the bags are very large so it's good to have an idea of what you would like to find but you will likely be surprised as you dig through the bins and see things that you or others you know may utilize. The day that they get new stock could be kind of hectic but I did not go on that day I just surmise that it would be very very busy. Also if you are going to use your navigational device for directions possibly it's better to plan ahead on how to get there because I was taken way out of my way just to end up where I could have driven a few blocks and made one single turn. That's an issue with Google maps not the store but don't waste time driving in circles. There is an El presidente grocery store and a taco Bell in the same plaza check out their website and if you have questions they may be already answered on the web page they are also...

I have shopped Mike’s store frequently and have told about 20 of my friends of his store. We have always chatted and I bargain with him. At my recent visit to his store, there was a new person at the cash register manning the store that I had never seen or talked Mike was in the back doing his auction. When I asked the price of an item I was quoted a wrong retail price and then the price he would give me. I told him he quoted the retail price higher than what it was, and then I asked if he could do any better and he said no , so I said OK I’m going to go ask Mike. So, after walking around the store a little bit more I had went back and asked Mike if he could do any better on the product and of course he did ! When I went to the cash register to pay, I told the gentleman what Mike had said the price was and the next thing I know I’m getting told to leave the store and never return since I’ve already gotten a price from his associate and how dare I ask him for a better price. I was appalled and I put all my products down and walked out of the store so be careful when you go to his store not sure if he was having a bad day or what but I will not be treated like a two year-old child and spoken to in that matter when others are in the store! By the way This is what he did to me,...
