### 5/5 — Great buys

*2026-08-28*

Great deals on stuff I like. Customer service at pickup is beyond Great. Never seen employees so dedicated to their customers. The time it takes to satisfy all the customers is just unbelievable. Great employees.

### 1/5 — Internal bidding up.

*2026-08-11*

I’m staring to notice a trend of items being re-listed under suspicious circumstances that wouldn’t quite make sense that they were sold and never picked up, or returned and re-listed again under same condition if there wasn’t a defect for the return. Reason I am bringing this up. Might be time to reach out to the BBB about them price fixing by having someone on their team bidding items up in an attempt to swindle customers out of more money.

### 1/5 — Bring back the website

*2026-07-18*

The app is extremely difficult to navigate and harder to see since I’m on my tiny phone screen now. I miss the website where I could have multiple tabs open with my items and could view everything on a much bigger laptop screen. Using the app has been so frustrating and confusing that I’ve just not been using Vista anymore.

### 2/5 — Accounts are not synced!

*2026-07-18*

Accounts should automatically sync with any new application using the same account. Right now, every time I use a new app, I’m asked to register again, and none of my previous history is available.

All existing account data should have been migrated. I’ve registered three separate times using the same email address, yet my history is missing each time. This creates a poor user experience and defeats the purpose of having a single account across applications.

### 1/5 — Missing History

*2026-07-17*

It was nice on the web version when you could search “Completed” sales. This way you knew an item might come around again. Also, what the items were selling for in the past.  Old app / website was much better.

### 5/5 — Great place to shop!

*2026-07-16*

Great place to shop! The prices are very affordable, there is always a good selection of items, and the customer service is excellent. The managers are professional, friendly, and always willing to help. I’ve found many great deals here and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Great Deals and Real Savings

*2026-07-16*

Vista Auction is a great way to save money on everyday items and find products well below retail price

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-16*

Cool, lots of new features of the new app that were not there in the old one

### 5/5 — Save More Every Time

*2026-07-16*

Great app for finding amazing deals and saving money on quality items. I’ve found products at prices much lower than retail, and the bidding process is easy and convenient. Highly recommended if you like getting the best value for your money.

### 3/5 — Bring it back!

*2026-07-16*

Please bring back ability to search completed items. Also total bid cost (including 15% buyers premium and lot fee) when confirming bid
