Awesome

Great app

Honestly, very disappointed

When I downloaded the app I didn’t know I was even purchasing points firstly, it was not very obvious. Couldn’t get my money back so just tried to use it I’m VERY convinced they use bots against you when auctioning. You’ll RARELY win anything. WOULD NOTTTTT recommend. Feels scammy.

New

I'll review when I get an experience.

Love it

Highly recommend

Basically a scam

So I decided to give this a try because it has good ratings, and I DID give it an honest attempt. Heres what I learned - 1. I was told initially I'd get 50 free points for joining, this was a lie. You have to pay/buy $30 worth to even initiate your account or view the bids. Then to get your "free" points, you have to purchase ANOTHER package where they add points to the bundle. That's a scam.
Next thing to know, each point costs about .12 cents but are worth .01 in bidding, it costs a cent for each bid and IF you win than you will pay whatever the final bid price was.
And even further, after giving an honest and true attempt, I fully believe there are bots raising the bids. I don't know how anyone actually WINS anything reasonable. I even tried to hone in on one bid and still didn't win. There's no genuine timer for bidding. It's all a trap and a scam.
FINALLY, I want to add that I had recieved an email guaranteeing me a bid win for joining and obviously that didn't happen. It was a total lie and waste of money.

Great way to buy

Lots of bargains

We’ll See

Of course they pressure you for a five star review. Of course you are immediately pressured for a log in. Of course you must immediately provide payment information. And, of course it appears to be one of those scammy auction sites that makes you buy your bids. Until I see different don’t waste your time and expose your information, because I’d bet that of course they harvest and sell your data as well.

SCAM

You pay wether you win or lose the auction. They hide it behind “points,” but they never actually explain that you lose the money you bid if you don’t win.

I’m sorry an app that takes your money out of your bank account soon you create a profile… even if returned it after I submitted a claim, can’t be trusted

Awesome site and easy to use

Got tricked into $30 fee

They ask if you want points for the app and they don’t tell you there going to charger you $30 on your card. And also this isn’t a real auction. You don’t actually bid pennies you just think you do. Really confusing and tricky app but I’m guessing that’s on purpose to trick people on thinking they are getting things for a “couple dollars”
