eXcite

I watched this website for several hours one night while I was working the graveyard shift. In one auction a particular bidder bid at exactly 18 sec left every time. This went on for hours. NO doubt it was automated bidding. This "bidder" eventually won, only after many others wore themselves and the bid accounts out. I did actually win a $50 gift card under the "beginner" category. I wonder if this is just to lure in the novice bidders to spent more on bids to throw away in auctions with the automated bidders. Hmm, casinos have been "letting" people win pocket change only to entice them to lay down more money.

I feel really stupid... four different times (not three) I got down to the winning 0 seconds and It displayed, "Haggle has encountered an error processing you bid-Please refresh this page". Lets review the possibilites of this happening... not any possibilities. My computer is four months old and I have never seen this response on any page. I am on high speed broad band and have never seen an error message asking me to refresh my page. I didn't even know where the refresh button was. This is a glorified slot machine, that is electronically controlled by the webmaster. BE WARNED

This for those of you that don't think this site is a scam. Let's look at the numbers. If an item sells for $100 in your local store and the winning bid is $16.70 guess how much Haggle made on bids: $102.00 without the $16.70. The explanation: The lowest price for a bid is 60¢. Every bid adds 10¢ to the price of the item. The item take 167 bids to reach $16. 70. 167 x 60¢ = $102.00. So Haggle sold it for $118.70. The winning bidder actually paid more that the $16.70 depending on the number of bids made earlier in the bidding process. Haggler may seem legit and they don't need fake bidders because winning bids are so low. They make their money. The winning bidders gets a good deal on an item paid for mostly by the loosing bidders.

This site is a rip off and/or the biggest waist of time in your life! I hope as many people as possible report them to the BBC as I am, they are basicly a gambling site. The one person on here you says they have won any thing, has gotten any of the items yet, scam scam scam! Dont do it, waste of money, after checking it out there are a million of these types of sites out there, work the same way, all ripping people off leagaly for now.

I give this a big thumbs down. Don't waste your money. After watching for awile I decided to try this worthless site. I started bidding and I decided that I would bid untill I won no matter what the cost. Three times I bid. Starting my bid late into the bidding, this way I wouldn't waste as much money. All three times the computer didn't accept my bid after 50 or 60 bids and the opponent won. All three times I caused the average cost to go way down in the low 70% and 80 %. This is a scam if ever iv"e seen one. Stay Away unless you want to waste your money. If you do just send it to me. I'll be glad to spend it for you.

I will suggest that everyone here go to RipOffReport.com and file a complaint against Haggle.com. I did.
I think we all know that the Haggle owners are making piles of money without giving the REAL users a chance to ever win. In the auctions, you can sit back and watch as, time after time, "winners" take home winning items from 80 to 90 per cent off. It looks tempting to throw in your bid until and, when you do, you will find that the price goes up until you run out of bids or until, at the last minute, the computer "mysteriously" freezes when you click the one second bid.
This site is definitely a scam.
Along with this site, go to RipOffReport.com and file a complaint. In the event that they have enough complaints, there may be a class-action law-suit after the investigation and you could be compensated.
I am not sure if compensation will ever happen for me, but it will bring me great joy to see Haggle and other rip-off sites brought to justice.
Good luck and I hope you get back what they stole.
They are thieves!

Anyone else notice that 90% of the user names bidding all have numbers at the end OR they have an actual name in them? Also, just about the same 90% have limitless amounts of bids. As some other folks stated it is the same user names bidding on several different auctions at same time, including an auction I might happen to have been in. I lost count after about 200-250 by 1 person who was also bidding just as much in other auctions. I find this site a scam but I have to say it is one of the best played out scams I have ran across. BEWARE! If you just pay attention to what is happening around you I am sure you will come to same conclusion :)

This website is a great way to get electronics and other items on the cheap if you are smart. Anyone saying it is a scam or that they have bots bidding either didn't know the rules before bidding or doesn't understand how the site works. I have invested about $150 for bids and have won a $100 gift card and $50 worth of microsoft points. I still have over 100 bids left too. If you expect to get a laptop by buying $20 worth of bids you will lose a majority of the time. However if you take the time to study how auctions work you can usually come out on top. This is a great alternative to ebay and I am a satisfied customer.

Haggle.com is more than just gambling; its owners are STEALING the money of innocent bidders by using shill bidders and by charging almost one dollar per bid but increasing the amount of the bid by only one cent. The same twenty of so people comprise most of the winning bids, and many of them win more items than the site's terms say are allowed. Don't bother to send any messages to them... you just receive the standard, "cut and paste" responses probably processed by a bank of minimum wage earners with no true knowledge of how the site works and certainly no authority to make changes. In short, everyone should be warned not to use this site or any of the many others like it. Want to gamble? Go to the casino or race track... at least you will be entertained while losing money... and the odds of winning are certainly better.

Haggle.com... a true rip off.

The thing you don't realize when you buy bids is... it gets down to the last seconds on an item and then you bid... the time goes back up. Don't count on being able to hit it quickly at the end of the time limit. You can spend all your bids on an item very quickly as the price escalates 10 cents at a time.

I think some people get good deals by chance on here, but you have to be really lucky. I am not willing to waste my time on luck.

Frustrating as heck... spent $100 on 150 bids and spent hours of time and too much anxiety to lose what I really really wanted to someone else b/c I would not push the button with 1 second left... refusing to believe a $1500 computer could possibly go for $46 when 3-8 people were bidding non stop, this happened on at least 6 items I tried... finally just blew through my last 60 bids trying to get a $250 Coach card that I had seen twice go for less than $5, needless to say, me trying to be the frontrunner, just jacked the price up and I was out when I ran out of bids... I felt like I was at a slot machine.

I keep seeing people posting tips for haggle.com. Many of them are saying that marathon bidding is the best way to go. I'm not convinced that is entirely true. It seems to me that the best approach is to get a general idea of how much a specific item is generally going for on average. When the auction nears that point and the bidding slows, I would suggest trying to sneak in some last second bids where you think the auction is most likely to end. Let the "marathon bidders" speed up the auction for you and allow you to conserve your bids! Your more likely to win if you do your homework first. If you jump head first into any auction you'll probably end up out of bids and out of money! Worst comes to worst, you wait and lose an item. The best part about haggle.com is that you will most likely have another chance at the same item very soon! Be smart and bid wisely!
