About this project

Run by an independent EU buyer who got tired of guessing whether liquidation lots were worth bidding on. The site has no commercial relationship with Jobalots — no affiliate links, no sponsored placement, no advance access to lots. We display public customer feedback in a format that's faster to scan than scrolling page after page on the original site.

Where the data comes from

Every review on this site is already publicly available on jobalots.com — we have no private feed, no exclusive access, no insider information. What we do is collect the public reviews, mask reviewer usernames, and present them as a single sortable dataset with summaries, so you can scan customer feedback in seconds instead of clicking through hundreds of pages.

Sources & scope

  • Publicly visible EU-facing customer reviews/comments related to Jobalots purchases.
  • Only the EU dataset is included on this site.
  • Reviews already removed by Jobalots upstream (deletions, takedowns) remain in our historical CSV — we do not reflect upstream deletions backwards.

What you see for each review

Each row shows the date the review was posted, a masked version of the reviewer's name (the last three characters are always hidden — so "Madzia11" appears as "Madzi***"), a star rating from 0 to 5 in half-star steps, and the customer's full comment in the language they wrote it.

What we do to the data

The clean-up before publishing is light and obvious: extra spaces are trimmed, dates are written in a consistent YYYY-MM-DD format, leftover "…See more/less" tags are removed, and any personal information left in comment text is redacted (see Privacy below). We don't translate, summarize, paraphrase or edit anything else — what you read is what the customer wrote.

Privacy

  • Username masking. Reviewer names have their last 3 characters replaced with *** (names of 3 or fewer characters are masked entirely). The unmasked original is never stored or published.
  • PII redaction in comments. Phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses (multi-language), IBANs and credit-card numbers found inside comment text are auto-replaced with [redacted phone], [redacted email], [redacted address], [redacted iban] and [redacted card] before publication. Both new and historical reviews are covered.
  • Takedown requests. If you are the reviewer and want a row removed entirely, email hello@jobalots-reviews.eu with the date and approximate text; we'll remove it within a few business days.

Updates

  • The dataset is refreshed regularly so the table reflects current customer feedback.
  • Aggregate statistics — average score, star distribution, common feedback themes — are recomputed each refresh.
  • Newest reviews appear at the top.

Limitations

  • We cannot verify the factual accuracy of customer claims; treat individual scores and comments as self-reported.
  • Language detection and translation are not automated; original text is preserved verbatim.
  • Sentiment chips on the home page are derived from simple multilingual keyword matching, not natural-language processing — they are a rough guide, not a definitive sentiment score.
  • Manifest-accuracy commentary on review pages reflects buyer experience, not lot-by-lot verification.
