Haggle.com is not a scam. Do your homework, get a strategy, buy some bids and rock on. Watch the board before bidding. My household has won 18 items, all new, including a 32 GB IPOD for $15.30. I have lost bids as well, but quickly learned HOW to play the game. I LOVE IT!

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.

I won a playstation and a camera on here. They came brand new within 10 days of the auction. I spent about $100 on bids, then won both items for a total of $120. So $220 for a PS3 and a camera. Definitely a good deal.

It's competitive, so you have to stick with it. If you don't, you might get lucky, or you might lose. The other reviewers sound like sore losers to me.

I read negative reviews about Haggle prior to signing up and bidding on merchandise. I have won 32 items since signing up the first of November and have received all of the items which were exactly as described. I have had to email the company a few times concerning minor issues and they responded in a timely manner. I observed the site for two weeks before I started bidding to get a feel on when to bid and what time of the day gives the best chance of winning. I hope others stay off the site so I will have a better chance of winning!

I personally have had a good experience with haggle.com. I bought an ipod touch for a fraction of retail price. The product has not arrived as of yet so I can not comment on the quality of the product. (hopefully i won't have to eat my words when it does arrive) Being a single mom, Im always looking for a bargain. So far haggle.com has delivered.

I did the math and my (Revenue from items won) - (Cost of bids/payment for items won) = $1,187 profit. All you need is a brain. This was over a 3 day span too so it's not like I wasted a $#*!load of time on the computer.

I stumbled across haggle early December. Needless to say, I have been a loyal haggler since. I have won well over 60 auctions on the website and most were excellent deals. I have also had my share of losses on the site as well. The positve far outweighs the negative for me. I can tell you that I watched for several days before I decided to bid. My first win was a Nintendo DSi that ended around $50 plus my bids which I had used about 60 for. That same day I bid on a second DSi (it was for my two daughters as Christmas presents) and I won it for $9 with about 19 bids. I have won items with as little as 2 bids and I have won items with as many as 300+ bids. I've gotten small things like a hand blender to ipod touches, nanos and shuffle on up to laptops, cameras, wii, xbox, lots of gift cards and even a super nice home theatre system. Haggle is one of my favorite sites. I've spent lots of time and money on it and I've won some great stuff. As a successful bidder, I can tell you that most of us that are invested in an item do not like to see late comers come into an auction when we have lots of time and money in it already. We call that sniping an auction. Most of us will suffer a loss on an item just to show those type of bidders that we don't appreciate their stategy of bidding. If you go to Haggle's Facebook page, you will find lots of real people sharing their strategies for being successful in order to help newcomers be successful as well. Just because you go on there and deal with an aggressive bidder doesn't mean the site is rigged. You should watch and see who are the aggressive bidders and determine if you want to spend x amount of bids to take them on. Everyone has equal opportunity to win. If I see someone dominating certain items, I either stock up on bids or wait until they are locked out (3 wins in 24 hour period locks them out of bidding or 20 wins in 30 days) and bid for the item. I make that decision to bid or not to bid. I usually get on an item from the beginning and defend it until the last few minutes when the "real" bidding begins. It's worked out well for me. I don't snipe others and I decide if, when and how long I'm gonna bid on something. Basically it is a gamle as you are waiting for the others to either give up or make a mistake while you are the top bidder. Bidding the last 3 seconds or less has never been successful for me. That just wastes my bids.
All items I have received have been shipped brand new and in many cases straight from Amazon, Best Buy, and other big retailers. The customer support has always responded quickly and courteously when I've had any issues. To give a for instance, at the end of February I won a Playstation 3. Due to most all retailers being out of stock, Haggle contacted me about not being able to fill the order for the PS3 and offered a $350 Gift Card and 50 Free Bids instead. I could have waited till April to get the Playstation when most say they will have them back in stock but I appreciated Haggle's customer service and took the card and bids instead. I hope this helps some of you that venture to the site in the future. Good luck to you if you do. It's not a scam but there are lots of aggressive bidders on there. Watch and learn about them before you jump and cry foul. :D

The site is most certainly not a scam. My household has won 37 items off the site in less than 2 months. I am typing on a macbook that i won right now. It takes working capital for bids, strategy, and a whole lot of time to invest. I studied auctions for weeks before taking the plunge. You simply can not expect to buy 20 bids and then win a laptop.

The site is owned by infospace. Infospace is a legitimate company that owns many other web based ventures. The notion that they are injecting bots or shill bidders to drive prices up is just ignorant. Granted that level of transparency just isn't possible, they are a publicly traded company and have too much to lose due to such shenanigans.

You can get most of this information by taking some time to review all of the comments on their facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/haggle. I took the time to educate myself before spending money on the site. Looks like alot of people who have written negative reviews weren't as smart. And no i am not an employee of the company.

I work for Haggle LLC.

I've noticed a lot of swirling misinformation out there on various review sites, so I thought I'd try to clear some of it up with one long post:

1. Our contact info is:
601 108th Ave NE
Bellevue, WA 98*******521

That info is also available on the website.

2. Company policy forbids employees, affiliates, and families from bidding on Haggle.com. We periodically run an internal site that employees can use to "get their bidding on". Although Haggle.com is a great site that thousands of customers enjoy, our employees prefer staying employed to bidding on the public site. It's great fun, but in this economy, no one takes his or her job for granted. Of course, the only way to "prove" that would be to show all users the names of all the bidders in the system and the names of all the company employees, but that would be a gigantic violation of personal privacy, which we take very seriously. Rest assured that, from the beginning, we have had a policy of no employee bidding because we want the site to be a delightful experience for our customers.

3. The bids themselves do pay for the discounts on the merchandise. Everything about how the site works is transparently described in the FAQ: http://www.haggle.com/Home/Help

Finally, to the competitor marketing troll who keeps spamming sites likes this - please, please find something better to do.
