So a lot of people out there are bashing this site. But honestly you can't play with assuming some of the risk. I have been watching the site for over a month before i finally bought into a 'Bid' pack... with 20 bids i managed to win almost $300 worth of merchandise.
You have to learn what you can get, you can't bid on things you don't need or want, and DONT spend your bids on the auctions for other bids... thats just stupid!
Pay attention to their busy times... and don't play! If there are multiple people bidding on one item, don't waste your time, come back tomorrow.
I got a digital camera and leatherman multitool for work. Total cost to me with shipping has been less than $60
I will continue to use this site when i feel it is worth the item up for bids.
