Alucinante
October 25, 2017

Realmente es una subasta que al menos en España es de la mejor!
Empiezas dudando un poco pero vas aprendiendo y al final te das cuenta que es una joya para poder tener productos a bajo precio! La recomiendo

***** TWO KEY RULES TO FOLLOW *****

1. Understand the game before you play.
2. Don't be trigger happy with your bids.

Firstly I want to point out that I am no way affiliated with MadBid or any other company they may be known as.

I have had an extremely positive experience with MadBid as I've won a few auctions.

I've won an iMac for £70 ish.
I've won an Oral B toothbrush for £40 ish.
I've also won a set of Bluetooth bathroom scales for £22 ish.

Had I purchased these items from the high street I would have paid in excess of £1,200.

So I guess the main thing to point out is this site isn't a scam. It's quite difficult to understand, however if you take the time out and dumb it down you CANNOT lose...!

Here is why I've been successful.

I set out to buy a MacBook Air from Apple. Cost price of this was £749. MadBid had the same MacBook on their site for £748. It was £1 cheaper to start with.

So what I did was "invested" my whole £750 into the site. What I did though was waited till a credit offer was available before piling all my cash into the site at once. The credit offer was 4 for the price of 1. So if I bought 1,000 credits I'd get 4,000.

I then started to study the site to gauge what the average final auction value was for the items I was bidding on.

Once I had a good idea of what the end auction prices were closing at I'd set an amount of bids that I wanted to use for that auction in the hope that I'd win.

Over the space of about 2 months of won the items I've listed above. Along the way I had burnt through £750 worth of credits with still no MacBook won.

Well here's where the twist is with the site that most people fail to understand it.

Every single penny I'd paid into my paid credits (£750) was being banked by the site. Yes... Banked...! So I could then go on to purchase my MacBook Air for £748. Which was delivered today... Thank you MadBid.

Last night I'd decided to buy the new Apple TV so again I put my £130 into the site and got a load of credits. I'll now try my luck in winning something else. If all else fails I'll still end up with my Apple TV for a few quid cheaper than Apple. If I'm successful I'll end up with a few more goodies on the way.

Remember the points I made above:

1. Understand the game before you play.
2. Don't be trigger happy with your bids.

Niet echt tevreden
November 8, 2017

Heeft mij al veel geld gekost en nog niks gewonnen. Met de credits kan je niet zoveel kopen, zijn allemaal artikelen waar je niet zoveel aan hebt. Objectief beoordelen is zeer moeilijk, mede dat je geen inzicht krijg wat je aan gewonnen credits al hebt aangekocht.
