Fun auction experience. Not sure about buying bids yet. Nice products though. Free shipping is a great idea

I have won a few things on this auction deal site. Received them promptly in a beautiful condition. One thing that I won that I absolutely love is the Tibetan trumpets which was a rare item!

This company deducts $39.99 from your account before you even consider participating in their auctions. I never purchased (Points or Credits) to even start bidding on their products. I went to their website because they were advertising a [free $50 credit for signing up with them. Their was no disclaimer of being charged $39.99 for signing up with them. This company is using disparate schemes and false advertising to unlawfully steal money from consumers before consumers even have an opportunity to review their products. What starts out as a [free $50 to use for bidding) is a misleading plot. The company deducted $39.99 from your without even disclosing their unlawfully theft of your money.I would have never caught this fraudulent website tactics had i not been reviewing my bank information at the time I had signed up with them. They need to Refund Me Now!! This is bullshit and so are their legal staff that provides them with these scandalous schemes to fraudulently access consumers financial accounts.

We love hearing this. Making government and retail surplus accessible to everyone is the heart of what we do. Here's to many more great finds!
AI Advertising Just Isn't There Yet
I just get a good laugh every time an ad for this site pops up using AI spokesmen and a good portion of the time, the AI mispronounces either Gov, or Auctions. Amazed that AI could even find that many syllables in "Auctions".

I just love bidding and winning. It’s especially exciting when you win and you only pay a few cents or a few dollars. Fun when competing against others.
Everything l’ve won is worth so much more than I have paid for it.
Try it you’ll be addicted.
