If you inspect before bidding, there is no surprise on the condition of goods, The staff is friendly in Butler, ready to help on any question. I have been successful with getting goods at less than 1/2 the price at Walmart!

Watch out when bidding. There is a 35% chance you are getting a defective item and if you don't spend and extra 3 bucks all the way up to 100's of dollars on their 5 day return policy insurance, they will not help you. They take your money and sometimes even refuse to give your product to you. Oh, they also refuse to refund and you forfeit your product and money. There fee's are hidden, you don't know until you win the item, about 20% extra is what you will be paying plus insurance. They even straight up mispresent what it is that you are bidding on in some cases and stand behind their no returns when it does not match the description. Stay away unless you don't mind getting stuck with defective merchandise from a company that stand behind nothing. Just a sample of my defective merchandise from them.

Update on the review below:-
It took a while, but eventually I did receive a considered email from Customer Services and I was given a full refund. This company is definitely not as bad as I depicted in my review... and I am happy to add this postscript by way of balance.
Original review:-
I reviewed this business yesterday and was surprised this morning to find that 84 people had read the review.
Scrolling down through all the negative comments from others, I was struck by the number of "Daily Mail" references.
Why not join me in asking the DM to investigate and run a follow-up to their advertorial; this time without the positivity? Just send an email to The Daily Mail ("*******@dailymail. Co. Uk") telling your story. Let people power prevail.
Bought several items that were listed as open box, not listed as used or like new. The Nuwave Duet pressure cooker was used and nasty! The smoker was missing pieces, and the air mattress was not the mattress that was supposed to be in the box and it smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. The air mattress also would not hold air!
I'm HIGHLY disappointed and will not shoot here again.
Madbid is a smart way to get amazing products saving lots of money.
You have just to be patient trying to obtain the items you are interested into.
You can contact a very efficient Customer Support Team in order to ask for any clarification you might need.
My experience is very positive and although I did not win anything until now, I am confident in trying to get some of the products they proposed.
Everything besides the towels was damaged. The fees where more than 2 puchases. Expect at least 6.00 per order if you spend below 15.
Tip for consumers:
run
Products used:
none. just the towels
No wonder it's called mad bid as you would be mad to bid on this site. Anyone who is asked to part with cash before you can even find an item you want to buy! Alarm bells started to ring in my ears. I have just finished reading some of the reviews here and I am glad I never purchased any credits at all. I feel sorry for the poor people who have been taken in by their website. Stay away from this site do not enter any payment details.
Do not waste your money. You have absolutely no chance on winning any bid. Even contacting them is impossible. When I tried to contact support they asked for my Username and password. When I entered this information the site states my password is wrong even though I was already signed into the bidding area using the same password.
So glad I didn't get sucked in to deep.
I'm sorry Madbid, how can you say I didn't use your site. I did use your site and it cost me £49.99.
Tengo poco tiempo en MadBid pero pienso que es muy emocionante el competir con los otros usuarios por los increibles premios que ofrecen, hasta el momento me parece interesante.
This site is a Scam. I deposited £50 and bid on three items I was the last bidder when the timer reached zero, only to see the auction start again a second or two later! If the auction is not finished the zero should not be shown. There is no value after Zero!
Crap site, poor technology, hopeless company. Use at your peril. If they rip of a hundred people like me there is no wonder they can nearly give away some items to the few that do get a deal'
I joined madbid 3-4months back... i got to know about this website by my freind... so i thought to try once my luck but after joining i got to know its not about luck but purely patience that ll work here... after waitiing for a long time i won a sony playstaion... so i am very happy with madbid. It is a very good website... but we need to be extrmely patient and moreover we should bid wisely nd spend credits... nd products also very good brand new... but little drawback is there should be an option to spend free credits first and paid credits later bcoz free credits expire in 30 days and paid credits 180 days... if madbid look into it. It s most trusted auction site
Since 2016. Year of joining now to Madbid actually did not meet my expectations directly. The reason is not that I can not win any prize. I followed some bids to the end. I do not know why it happened. I wish I could win a new gift. If you can not win, with rewarding concept. Strategic bidder can benefit a little, by able to make purchases from my credits points (dollar converted post biding...). One need to have a bidding plan to get the best from the site.
Sucked up my credits costing me nearly £200, unable to stop it. Left with earned discount which cost me way more than I could of purchased on Amazon, plus charged £10 shipping - left completely out of pocket and with a product I don't really want. Awful scam
I bought £49.99 worth of credits but didn't find anything on the site that I wanted. I ended up bidding for something I didn't need or want just to avoid forfeiting my money ( which eventually happened anyway). I am advising everyone now to avoid madbid.com like the plague. There are plenty of trustworthy discount stores where you can buy online without getting ripped off. Only gave one star as unable to give nil.
Esta idea es muy buena m agrada aunque no es tan fácil ganar una subasta es 100% real
This site (and ones like it) need to be SHUT DOWN before other unwary innocent people lose money.
If anyone knows how we might campaign to do this can you please post it. Surely the power of the masses should mean something.
So many people have fallen for this style of 'pay to bid' auction and lose their money in 20 mins. Like me they assume it is a normal auction site and find out too late it is really more akin to gambling.
Debo decir que al inició que me recomendaron esta pagina, no confiaba. Pero aun asi inicie, me arriesgué y gane! Puedo decir que el que persevera alcanza, suerte!
Gambling site pretending to be an auction. Terrible experience. They use fake reviews and online articles to appear like a good deal. I look forward to the day they have to repay all us users that were miss sold to.
I wish i would have seen this site before opening an account. I read an article that paints a very nice picture saying that it works. Well. It doesn't. I've spent $100 today (first day) and i won absolutely nothing. The timing of the bids seems to be fixed sometimes where even if you bid on time it says "oh it's closed". I also got charged more in my credit card than what they said i had to pay (and when i say more i'm talking about $50).
Stay away from that site, it's not as wonderful as they make it seem.
This is very sleek Cheat Engine.
1) The rules and regulations are intentionally made blurry and some important came to your knowledge only when you got stuck;
2) They sell mainly garbage;
3) The bidding process is totally opaque - so those 'great deals' most likely are fake;
4) Positive reviews more than likely are made up or paid;
5) For your "earned discount" they offer either:
A) "Treasure Chests" i. E. their own credits (so that as the result you lose all you paid), or
B) an absolute garbage for prices that were attractive (perhaps) five years ago;
6) In the case, you still find something that you actually do not need, but still are willing to buy for your "earned discount" (so you do not lose it completely) you discover the "Shipping and Handling" which could be easily half of their discounted price". For instance, it was £9.99 for earbuds.
I have paid just £9.99, so good quick lesson for a small price.
How such thing can be legal? AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
One of the best auctions run in madbid. They will send the brand new products. Bid brilliantly and win great stuff like ipad and iphones also but i won small stuff but i am trying to win laptops and iphone soon. Great website.
Thank you vey much madbid. You guys are great.
What an absolute scam MadBid.
Paid £100 for 2500 Credits but now all used up & nothing to show for it and basically I was ripped off.
When I did bid for a decent item I got a server error or network congestion error & suddenly the bid was closed & won by someone else... basically MadBid are running bots and they are a fraudulent gambling company.
MadBid what a crock of $#*!!
