Never had a problem personally. Some of the "restaurants" on there, though, are dive bars, sleazy night clubs and bowling alleys. Ugh. Couldn't pay me to eat there, probably safer not to. Not the web site's fault, I guess, as far as who wants to participate, BUT when you're browsing for a date night place or decent dinner you may mistakenly think that some of the places on here are appropriate for that when they aren't. I wouldn't set foot in some of these places for fear of my safety, let alone order food. Just know or research the place you're buying a certificate for before purchasing. Also, disappointingly a lot of the decent places don't accept promo codes (the ones where u get them for $2) so the deals they email you all the time, and I mean ALL THE TIME (annoyingly often), are basically unusable since the places I'd actually go don't accept them. You can still buy them discounted, but not 98% off or whatever the promo code discount is. This is the experience in my area, at least.

This is my go-to search engine. Always use it. Google is connected with all the huge companies it seems - Android, YouTube, who knows what else. They're so smart and intuitive that sometimes I feel like Google just might know too much about me... slightly worrisome, but I overlook it. Although I do think someday Google may take over the world...

Great online classifieds site. Have had mostly positive experiences with buying and selling. Be careful when meeting buyers/sellers and beware of scams. Also, the overposts and miscatigorization from apartment complexes are really annoying. At least in my area. I usually flag them when I can. Anyway, if you use common sense in your dealings you should have little problem.

Helpful, informative. Slow load, but everything else is ok. I do use it in conjunction w/a couple other sites for more complete info.

Great. They have anything you could ever want and most at decent prices. I like looking at the product reviews, too, even if i'm not going to buy it from their site.

Good, but Not as good as it used to be. Too many companies in various locations of the world now. A lot of misleading descriptions and pics. Don't know what u can trust and what you can't. Used to be a lot more individuals who actually had experience w/the item they were selling. Now, stock descriptions are used and the seller may or may not even know if It's accurate. As long as you know what you want, where u want to get it from, and check the seller's feedback and check the item description carefully, you should be good. I've only had s couple problems in 12 yrs of using the site.

Fun if you want to waste money. It gives a different level of enjoyment to the games to be able to win or lose against other players for money. Went a while on my initial deposit, ran out, deposited a little more, stuff like that. But when u want to take your money and close your account, don't actually expect to receive any of the money. I got the same exact "multiple accounts" block that others on here did. So I just gave up and moved on. Wasn't a whole lot of money I was out anyway, maybe 10 bucks so I didn't push the issue cuz I know how dealing w/these sites can get. Not worth the frustration.

I am not going to rate this site any higher than 2 simply b/c of the misrepresentation of the products. Some of the products, I should say. Most all of them are knock offs, bootleg, or cheap product not worth 2 cents. As long as you know that going in, you're good. I bought an item, received the item, item stopped functioning within a month, but oh well it was a tongue in cheek gift anyway.

Waste of money. Scam. Whoever put that the won an ipod shuffle is lying because their ipod shuffles are not Ipods. If you read the item description (way down at the bottom) it states it is not an Apple product but holds more songs than the similar product by Apple. Looks JUST like one, tho. It's all cheap crap from China and no real person has any chance at winning a big ticket item (such as an HDTV) for $58 as you may see advertised. There are employees of the site driving up the bids and they are also the ones that "win" those huge items for that price. To make ppl think they've got a chance of getting one at that price when they look at recently completed auctions so they'll bid on the next one, run out of bids, and buy more bids. It's ridiculous. As someone once said "there is a special place in hell for these people" who come up with these scams. Oh yeah, and they take forever to ship your item, if you even are lucky enuf to receive it at all.

. I, too, have been doing research on various items. The retail price they state is HIGHLY inflated. The other day I saw an item that sells for only $1 or $2 more at any other store. And just today I saw an indulgence by biatta lace teddy for $21 on nomorerack (stating that the retail price is $79) but it's $20 elsewhere! It's just kmart lingerie. That's negative savings! Also, nomorerack.com (a legit site, I thought, but have since discovered otherwise) duped me into signing up for dealfun.com b/c I thought it was affiliated w/their site (which, again, I thought was legit at the time). Dealfun is an even bigger scam, do not click on it from nomorerack.com. I'm so disappointed in these sites that claim to be legitimate and aren't. There has got to be something wrong w/the people that come up with this stuff.
