Newegg_Business legitimacy investigation

Lets investigate Newegg_Business returns seller on liquidation.com – is it legit newegg – a copied name – and what if any rating or details

Cool question — digging into this, here’s what I found (and what I *haven’t* been able to conclusively verify). Use this as a “red-flag checklist” more than a definitive “yes or no.”

## What is “Newegg_Business” on Liquidation.com?

– Liquidation.com runs an auction marketplace for overstock, returns, salvage, etc. citeturn0search14turn0search12turn0search1
– They host a “Newegg Business” seller page: “Newegg Business – Returns & Overstock” where auctions are listed under the seller name **Newegg_Business**. citeturn0search1turn0search3turn0search9
– On individual auction pages, you can see “Seller: Newegg_Business” along with some seller metrics: e.g. lifetime completed transactions, average days to ship, % canceled, % honored disputes. citeturn0search9turn0search18
– One such auction explicitly states:
> “Under no circumstances should you contact **Newegg** regarding products purchased on Liquidation.com. Liquidation.com is solely responsible as the seller of record for these items, and Newegg is not involved in any capacity.” citeturn0search9

So, in Liquidation.com’s structure, **Newegg_Business** is a “marketplace seller” (or inventory source) under their platform, not necessarily (or automatically) the same as “Newegg the retailer.”

## Is this “Newegg_Business” legit (really Newegg) or a copycat?

Pros / supporting evidence:

1. **Name & positioning**
– The label “Newegg Business” matches Newegg’s B2B arm (NeweggBusiness). So it’s plausible Liquidation has a partnership to liquidate their returned/overstock inventory via this channel.
– The auctions carry lots of PC hardware, consumer electronics, etc., which aligns with Newegg’s product verticals. citeturn0search1turn0search18turn0search12

2. **Seller metrics exist**
– The site shows “Completed Transactions,” “Average days to ship,” “% canceled,” etc. That suggests someone is accountable in that role. citeturn0search9turn0search18
– For a recent auction: the seller has been active “1 year and 7 months,” >100 completed transactions, with “0.0% canceled transactions,” and ~2.1 days shipping average. citeturn0search9turn0search18

3. **Liquidation.com’s own site endorses it**
– The “Newegg Business” section is presented on Liquidation.com’s official site. citeturn0search1turn0search12
– They include “Newegg_Business” in filters / seller searches. citeturn0search3

4. **Separating liability**
– The clause “Newegg is not involved in any capacity, Liquidation is seller of record” is telling. It suggests that even if legitimately sourced from Newegg, Newegg disclaims direct involvement. citeturn0search9

Skeptical / warning evidence:

1. **Reviews of Liquidation.com are overwhelmingly negative**
– On Sitejabber, Liquidation.com has ~1.3 stars from 242 reviews, with many complaints around misrepresented items, shipping issues, difficulty with returns/disputes. citeturn0search8
– On Reddit, users warn “pay attention to who the seller is” when using Liquidation.com — same principle as eBay: one bad seller ruins the lot. citeturn0search5

2. **Confusing identity issues**
– The existence of a business “Newegg Business / NeweggBusiness.com” with trust issues: for example, Trustpilot shows “NeweggBusiness” (the site) with very poor reviews and a note “THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS NEWEGG.” citeturn0search2
– On ResellerRatings though, NeweggBusiness.com has ~4.27 stars. citeturn0search13
– So even the domain “NeweggBusiness” has mixed reputation, which complicates trusting “Newegg_Business” elsewhere.

3. **Disclaimers**
– The “Newegg is not involved in any capacity” clause is a standard legal shield—if things go wrong, the buyer can’t use Newegg support, only Liquidation support. That increases risk.

4. **No independent verification of inventory authenticity**
– I could not find clear proof that Newegg (the company) officially ties to that specific “Newegg_Business” seller on Liquidation in a public source.
– No evidence surfaced (in what I found) that Newegg promotes Liquidation.com or the “Newegg_Business” page on its own site.

## What do the ratings / data show?

From auction examples:

– One lot: 100+ lifetime transactions, ~2.1 days shipping average, 0.0% cancellations, ~2.5% dispute non-honors. citeturn0search9
– Another lot: similar metrics on a recent GPU/PC lot. citeturn0search18
– The metrics seem plausible for a liquidator — relatively low cancellation rate, decent shipping speed.

From broader reviews:

– Liquidation.com: serious negative reputation for customer service, misrepresented product, inability to resolve disputes. citeturn0search8
– Users caution that even if the platform is legit, individual sellers or lots may be shady. citeturn0search0turn0search5
– The domain “NeweggBusiness.com” is not spotless — Trustpilot warns it “IS NOT THE SAME AS NEWEGG.” citeturn0search2
– ResellerRatings gives “NeweggBusiness” a decent score (4.27/5) — but note this may be for their direct retail or B2B site, not “Newegg_Business” on Liquidation. citeturn0search13

## My assessment: Legit-ish, but risky

Putting it all together:

– **Yes, “Newegg_Business” on Liquidation.com likely has some legitimate connection** (or at least is being treated on the marketplace as an authorized liquidator of Newegg returns/overstock). The name alignment, product categories, seller metrics, and the fact Liquidation features it all support that.
– **But no guarantee.** The disclaimers, mixed reputational signals, and history of complaints with Liquidation.com mean you’re entering with risk.
– The fact that Newegg explicitly disclaims involvement in the auction listings is a huge red flag: if things go wrong, your recourse is only through Liquidation’s processes.

## What to watch out for / how to test legitimacy

If you decide to interact, here’s a checklist:

1. **Check seller metrics on each lot**: cancellation rate, dispute rate, average ship time.
2. **Check manifests/items lists carefully**: many complaints are “the lot wasn’t what was described.”
3. **Start small**: bid small, lower-risk items first to test if they deliver as expected.
4. **Use the built-in dispute / returns window**: Liquidation gives 3 business days after delivery to contest misrepresentations. citeturn0search14
5. **Don’t rely on Newegg support**: the listing says Newegg is not party to it. citeturn0search9
6. **Watch for “quantity variance” disclosures**: lots often allow ±1-10% variation in item count. citeturn0search14
7. **Check external talk**: forums, reddit, reseller communities often flag specific lots or sellers.

If you like, I can dig further — try to find internal records or complaints about *that specific seller name* “Newegg_Business” on Liquidation, to see if anyone has encountered fraud. Want me to do that?
now lets see if we can find the business policies on newegg business and ask why do they auction off goods when they sell used on their site

Good call — I poked around. Here’s what the public NewEgg / NewEgg Business policies say, and some hypotheses (and tensions) about why they might also auction goods via liquidation.

## What are NewEgg / NewEgg Business’s publicly stated policies?

Here’s a distillation of what I found + implications.

### Return & refund policies

– **Newegg (consumer side)**
– They offer a **30-day “Hassle-Free Returns”** program: for many eligible products (those sold *and shipped by Newegg*), you can return within 30 days, usually with no restocking fee. citeturn0search6turn0search31turn0search26
– For items sold via Newegg’s *Marketplace* (third-party sellers), policies may differ — restocking fees or distinct return terms can apply. citeturn0search26turn0search7turn0search12
– “Open Box” items are explicitly disclosed:
> “Open Box items consist of items that have been previously opened … may have minimal use … Accessories and/or retail packaging **may or may not** be included. Newegg will **not** send missing accessories. … Usually no manufacturer warranty; contact manufacturer if needed.” citeturn0search8
– Some controversies: in 2022, Newegg reportedly shifted to a “no questions asked” returns policy on open box items after allegations of selling defective boards. citeturn0search10

– **Newegg Business (B2B / business side)**
– Standard “30-day return” rule:
> “Return for refund: 30 days; Return for replacement: 30 days; Restocking Fee: 15%” (for items under standard return policy) citeturn0search0turn0search12turn0search24
– There’s also a “Limited Refund Only 30-Day Return Policy” in which replacement is *not* allowed (i.e. only refund) with 15% restocking fee. citeturn0search9
– “Refused shipments” (i.e. customer refuses delivery) are treated like returns and may incur a non-refundable 15–25% restocking fee. citeturn0search12
– Newegg Business does *not* take title to returned items until they physically receive them at the return address. They might issue a refund without the return in “at our discretion” cases. citeturn0search12
– Marketplace sellers on the Newegg Business side can define their own return terms (refund period, restocking fee, return address) which will be shown on their store pages. citeturn0search20turn0search12turn0search7
– Newegg Business has a “Marketplace Guarantee” — for purchases from marketplace sellers via the Newegg Business site, under certain criteria you may be eligible for reimbursement up to $1,000. citeturn0search12

– **Refurbished / “Refreshed” program**
– Newegg has a “Refreshed” program for refurbished / like-new electronics. Under that, products come with a **90-day window** for returns or replacements. citeturn0search28turn0search35
– The listing must clearly show refurbished status and condition (grade, cosmetic condition). citeturn0search13

## Why does NewEgg auction off goods (via liquidation)?

This is the crux: if they already sell “used / open box / refurbished” on their site, why also push inventory into auctions via Liquidation.com (e.g. “Newegg_Business” seller)? Here are likely reasons + tensions.

### Possible motivations / business rationale

1. **Inventory risk / cost management**
– Returns, overstock, shelf-pulls, unsold inventory all carry holding costs (warehousing, depreciation, obsolescence).
– Rather than trying to resell all units via standard channels (which might be slow), dumping some via liquidation auctions can free up capital and warehouse space quickly.

2. **Quality control / liability filtering**
– Some returned goods may have defects, be cosmetically damaged, or have missing parts. These might not be safe or profitable to sell via their regular storefront or refurbishment program.
– Auctioning them “as is” transfers risk to buyers who accept that condition, instead of having Newegg or its refurb branch absorb all losses or rework.

3. **Segmentation / brand protection**
– The items offered via Newegg’s retail/refurb channels typically carry some assurances (warranty, return period, condition grade).
– By isolating the more uncertain / lower quality lots into a separate liquidation channel (Liquidation.com), they avoid brand damage on their primary site.
– Also, by disclaiming “Newegg not involved,” they shield themselves legally (at least in part) from liability or client expectation issues.

4. **Revenue recapture**
– Even damaged or partial units often have salvage value: parts, cores, repair potential. Auctioning can recoup some residual value rather than writing them off.

5. **Third-party liquidation partners**
– It‘s possible Liquidation.com is a contracted or licensed channel — perhaps Newegg sells off bulk return/overstock inventory to liquidation partners, who then resell. (The “Newegg_Business” seller identity could represent that partner in the auction marketplace.)
– In effect, Newegg may offload in bulk to liquidation rather than individually listing every returned item on their site.

6. **Regulatory/tax/accounting treatment**
– In accounting, selling goods via liquidation (even at steep discount) is often better recognized as disposal of inventory (salvage), rather than full resale. It may simplify write-downs or cost accounting.

### Tensions / contradictions / risks

– If a returned item was in “usable” condition, a buyer might reasonably expect Newegg to refurb it and resell it under a “refreshed / refurbished / open box” listing with warranty. But by auctioning it “as is,” Newegg signals: “We don’t vouch for the condition.” That can hurt customer trust if buyers think they’re getting something similar to retail open box.

– The disclaimer “Newegg is not involved” in Liquidation auctions is telling. It suggests that even if inventory originates from Newegg returns, the legal and customer support division is severed once items hit liquidation. That indicates separation of liability.

– Some in forums accuse Newegg of mislabeling “open box” items (e.g. items with prior use but sold as new or with insufficient disclosure). citeturn0search1turn0search33turn0search28turn0search21
– That history of controversy may push Newegg to be extra careful about which goods stay in their direct/resale channels and which get dumped wholesale.

– There’s friction in customer expectations. A buyer might see “Newegg_Business returns / overstock” in liquidation and assume it under the same protections as a Newegg sale (warranty, returns). The disclaimers attempt to prevent that, but confusion is easy.

## My view: It’s a hybrid strategy with risk boundaries

Given what I saw:

– Newegg (and Newegg Business) maintain fairly robust and transparent policies for returns, restocking, open box, refurbished, and marketplace sellers.
– But they also seem to *accept* a certain level of disposal — i.e. sending inventory they don’t want to manage further into liquidation.
– The auction channel is likely an intentional boundary: items too risky, too damaged, too costly to refurb or retest — they shift the burden to auction buyers.
– Because of the disclaimers, a buyer can’t reasonably rely on Newegg’s standard protections when dealing with those auctions.

If you want, I can try to find internal / legal documents showing a contract between Newegg and Liquidation.com, or examples of how often goods are directed to liquidation versus regular resale. Want me to dig that?

Cool — this is a good start. I poked around; didn’t find much for those ASINs / SKUs directly on eBay (could be due to low volume, mis-labelling, or regional listings).

Here’s how I’d proceed, and what I *did* find.

## What I found / what I couldn’t

– For **B0D47126GX / “Mast Fold2 Pro Cordless Tattoo Gun Machine”**, no matching eBay listing came up under that exact SKU / identifier.
– For the “VOCOSTE Detachable Makeup Bag 4-in-1”, similarly no direct hits on eBay using the SKU B0DDQC86SY.
– In general, cosmetic / skin care / small gadgets like this tend to have many listings with generic or similar names rather than tied to a particular SKU, which makes matching harder.

## Suggested approach to get average selling prices & popularity

Because direct SKU matching is failing, use these strategies:

1. **Search by product name / keywords**
– Use key phrases (“Fold2 Pro Cordless Tattoo Gun”, “Detachable 4 in 1 Makeup Bag Roll Up”, “BIOSENS Vitamin C 10% Face Serum”) on eBay.
– Filter to “Sold Items” / “Completed Listings” to see what these actually sell for.

2. **Check variation / model matching**
– Sometimes the SKU listed (e.g. B0… Amazon-like) isn’t used on eBay. Look for matching names, features (e.g. “cordless tattoo pen 2 grips 40mm & 44mm”) and images.

3. **Use “Sold Price” tools / aggregators**
– Tools like Terapeak (within eBay) or “Price Guide / Sold Listings” help see historical sale prices.
– Use browser tools or sold listings filter.

4. **Check listing volume (popularity proxy)**
– On eBay, check how many active listings of similar items, how many watchers, bids, and how fast they sell.
– Also check Best-Match / “Sort by ending soonest” to see competition.

5. **Compare across marketplaces**
– Check Amazon “Used / Open Box” prices.
– Check AliExpress, DHGate, etc. for clones / similar items to compare pricing.

If you like, I can run those searches more exhaustively (on eBay, filter sold items) for each line and build a table of estimated average sell prices and how many “sold” in the last 3–6 months. Do you want me to dig that now?
yes.

I poked around eBay trying to match those entries. No perfect hits (i.e. same SKU + name) for most, but here’s what I found — rough benchmarks, caveats, and what this suggests.

## Findings & Benchmarks

| Item (or nearest match) | Observed sold / active eBay pricing | Notes / caveats / popularity signals |
|—|—|—|
| **“Mast Fold2 Pro Cordless Tattoo Gun Machine”** (or similar “Mast Fold Pro / Mast Mini”) | There’s a listing: *Mast Mini Professional Tattoo Kit* says “Versatile 7 Stroke Options: Mast Fold2 Pro …” in description. citeturn0search4
Active listings for “cordless tattoo pen / Mast / wireless tattoo pen kits” in various forms seen from ~$50 up to $200+ depending on features. citeturn0search0turn0search2turn0search4 | The “Mast” brand has presence; variation in stroke, grip size, battery, kit components affect pricing. The presence of multiple similar listings suggests moderate competition. |
| **BIOSSENS / “Biossance” Vitamin C / Dark Spot Serums** (closest match) | For “Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum .33oz / 10 ml NEW Travel Size” — sold items around **US $8.99** (6 sold) citeturn0search13
Also a 10 ml travel size new version listed at US $11.24 citeturn0search19
Full size “1.01 fl oz” listings are going for ~$30-50 depending on seller / condition. citeturn0search3turn0search5turn0search11 | These serums are more established brands, so there is a clearer market. Travel / sample sizes command lower absolute price but higher per-mL. The fact multiple listings are active suggests steady demand. |

## Interpretation & Estimates for Your List

Given these, here are *educated estimates* and relative popularity for your items (with more uncertainty for the ones I couldn’t clearly match):

– **Mast Fold2 Pro Cordless Tattoo Gun Machine**
Expect a selling price in the **$70–$200+** range, depending on whether it’s full kit, extras (grips, cartridges), battery, condition, and stroke control features. The “Mast Fold2 Pro” name is being used in at least one listing. citeturn0search4
– **VOCOSTE Detachable Makeup Bag (4-in-1, roll-up)**
I did not locate a comparable sold listing under that precise name or SKU. Likely sells as a generic makeup or travel bag — maybe **$10–30** depending on materials, brand, and capacity.
– **BIOSENS / Antioxidant Glowing Serum / “BIOSENS Vitamin C 10% Face Serum”**
The “Biossance / Vitamin C / Dark Spot Serum” market gives context: travel / small sizes in the $8–$15 range, full sizes $30–50+. So your full-size 30 mL item might realistically net **$20–45** (depending on brand strength, condition, demand).
– **Kids Bath Bombs (9 pcs, surprise inside, organic / natural)**
No direct comparable found. Bath bombs often sell for ~$1–3 per bomb (or more for novelty sets), so a set of 9 might go for **$9–25** depending on themes, branding, novelty.
– **Retinol Renewal Serum 0.15% (face)**
In the skincare realm, retinol / anti-aging serums often command moderate margins. If brand / packaging decent, maybe in the **$15–40** range.
– **Teeth Whitening Strips + Dental Floss Pack (28 strips + flossers)**
Oral care kits are commonly sold, but margins vary. A well-branded kit might fetch **$10–25**, maybe more if it’s peroxide free / premium branding.
– **Blonde Wig, 26″ synthetic, heat resistant**
Synthetic wigs are a popular segment. Depending on quality, many wigs in that space sell in **$20–60** (or more for premium fibers).
– **YDR Travel Makeup Bag with Handle Tote Organizer**
As a utility cosmetic bag / tote, likely in the **$8–25** range, again heavily dependent on material, brand, features.

## Caveats & Confidence Levels

– Many of your SKUs (beginning “B0…”) look like Amazon / internal SKU identifiers — eBay sellers often don’t use those in titles, so matching is imperfect.
– Some listings may include “brand / unbranded / generic” versions, so your specific product (if branded) might command a premium or discount.
– Condition, completeness (missing parts, packaging), shipping cost, listing exposure all heavily influence realized sale price.
– Volume / demand matters — items like tattoo pens or skin care may have more active buyers; novelty items or niche products might stagnate.
– For skincare / cosmetics especially, regulatory / shelf life / ingredient composition can affect what people are willing to pay.

If you like, I can go deeper: for *each* of your list, gather **past 90-day sold listings** (with count, sale price) and produce a more precise table, so you can use it for your liquidation-valuation models. Want me to compile that detailed list?
