Now this is an interesting concept. I really enjoyed my recent experience with oohilove.com. After bidding for the first time on a gucci shoulder bag i lost $20 but was happy to see the person who was bidding from so long won the bag for only $24.80. Iknow the site is making so much money but its their business and the main thing is, they are giving the top brands on such low prices, like the gucci bag won by that lucky person, costs around $1134 and look how much discount he got... i'll surely try again..

First of all, this is truly a "buyer beware" auction. This site does not guarantee anything or hide anything about the way the auctions work. For those chiming in about how people can bid endlessly (which would cost a great deal of paying. 99 per bid) but bid packs can often be bought for pennies on the dollar just like the merchandise being auctioned so the dollar cost average is much lower than it looks. I happened to get beautfiful LV bag for 1.51 with only one bid (yes, due to a lot of luck), but it does happen. If you can't afford to bid and lose, you should definitely stay away, but please don't try and ruin it for the rest of us who have figured out how to do it without breaking the bank. The website is not a scam but it is also not for the faint of heart because if you get carried away you can certainly feel ripped off if you don't win.

I have visited number of auctions sites last days and never be impressed from them, as i found the oohilove also there and decide to visit it, As i never want to play anymore because i have already lost money on other auctions site so thatswhy not ready to take risk... But somehow me and my girl friend both of us purchased one bid pack from the site and called us the oohilove support for assistance as we didn't know how to play it, They really guide us well and finally start bidding on the web site. Might be we have a very good luck on last wednesday and we won the Tiffany Pendants for my girl friend. Just here to share my experience. It was really very nice. And waiting for my item as they promise us to deliver it within 2 or 3 week. When i will get it, will be back on site jabber and share my winning tiffany pendants with you all.

Great site on where original price and the brands are so awesome and anyone can win them with so much margin in the prices on them, NOW thats amazing, bidding process is amazing. The information given by the site has so far been 100 percent accurate, and easy to navigate. Overall 4 stars to the site.

It takes some time to understand but I actually won 2 things over the past month: tiffany earrings and a 100 bid package... best advice I can give is to observe the bidders and see what price some of the auctions previously closed at. I LOVE THIS GAME! :)

I have personally bid on items and I also feel it may be a scam. I have noticed the same LV bags over the past month. While I was certainly willing to pay a fair amount for these bags, I began to feel like a idiot after submitting bids along with many others and then began noticing
People dropping out one by one and it was just me and the automatic bidder. When I decided to stop, the automatic won the next bid. I have some bids left that I purchased and frankly, I'm not sure I will even use them. Good luck to you if you decide to bid with this site.

I purchased a 50 bid pack and had a coupon code for get 10 bids free. The auctions take forever because people keep bidding and that adds time to the end of the auction. So, I tried bid assistant. That is also annoying.
They give you "love dollars" for each bid that you can use at their "trunk show" There is nothing in their Trunk Show Section. At least the last time I checked. They also charge A LOT for shipping. It seems you can't win for losing on this site. Stick with ebay or a site I just found called yoogiscloset.com. It has designer co-sign stuff that is super cute!

I joined oohilove and bought only 30 bids to try it. I decided to bid on a 50 bid pack and after reading the tips from the site I would use the bid assistant. At less than 5 min on the clock I started my bid assistant and ran out of bids in what felt like 5 seconds. I knew it was a scam after watching nonstop bidding well over the 49.99 it was worth. Who in their right mind would waste their bids to pay double the price! I'm thankful I only wasted $30.00 and a lesson learned. It's too bad because it could have been a fun site to save money on nice thing.

People BE AWARE!
September 5, 2010

People BE AWARE! You used to be able to "buy it now" if you lost money during bidding. Meaning if you lost $200 it would mean that if you used the "buy it now" option you would pay full retail + whatever additional costs oohilove taxed in but at least you could go away with something.

Before, they gave you the option to recoup your money generally on pricey purse auctions. Now it appears that option is no longer available it seems for LV purses - they are still offering the option for gucci and other brands. I would not recommend "playing" under those circumstances. It's way too risky.

What does it mean to be a "professional penny auction player"? It sounds like someone who buys things for cheaper prices" and resells items for profit on the internet. Please ALERT oohilove support about the player "gotlottoborn". If you read their guidelines, you guys will know that resellers are not allowed and their accounts will be disabled.

After losing $30 to place 30 bids, i'm starting to wonder if the "bid assistant" is representative of real people. It's always the same 4-5 names bidding everything up. Funny thing is, they never win. They just have unlimited amounts of money to place unlimited bids. Hmmm...

I'm a school teacher who would love an LV bag but can obviously not afford one on my salary thus, I became almost giddy when I saw this site. I now feel stupid, stupid, stupid! In retrospect, I think even my students would not have fallen for this SCAM. What was I thinking?! I had been in Vegas a few days before for a friend's wedding and did not gamble ONE CENT hating the idea of been throwing my money away! Ironic isn't it?

Thank You for all the reviews! I thought it was to good to be true! For all those very few who have won. Congrats. But there are so many, many, more who have lost! This site may be legal but it is not an auction site... it is a gambling site! Just call it what it is! Auctions may charge a small fee, but after watching this site you can really loose a lot of money. Better we give our money to some charity than just throw it away foolishly!

This is a total scam. I lost $25; it could've been worse. Don't do it. Don't be tempted by the apparently cheap prices. If you lose the bid, you lose your MONEY. Did you get that? You could only use the money you spent on that bid to purchase the item at retail price which means having to pay $800 for a Gucci bag (same price you pay at the Gucci store). DON'T DO IT.

I really feel that it's a scam. There's been a user cheerleader007 that has been using bidding assistant for an item when it was only 10.00. The auction is still going and the item is now at 72.00 with the highest bidder still being cheerleader007. I calculated it and that means she has spent around $3600 just on the bidding. That's ridiculous. That's more than twice what the bag is worth. FAKE $#*! WEBSITE!

If you go to this site I would advise you to bid on things that you can afford as you can waste a lot of money bidding, but the company does let you buy the product if you have bid on it minus your bids and you pay the rest in cash. I would like to be one of the people you see that wins the expensive bag by only bidding 1 to 20 bids and paying a very small price but it always seems that as soon as I use the bid assistant so does 2 or 3 other people come on. I just wonder if these are real people or the company. I do not believe its a scam just be careful as you can get carried away Thanks Marilyn7

I placed a bid for a 100 bid pack this morning. When I checked the site this evening, there was no history of my bid at all, yet the bid was removed from my account. Definitely seems sketchy... I sent the company an email regarding my issue. I will update you with their response.

Add me to the list of millions who have been suckered again! When you click on bid once, it's $1, even though your name never got to the screen, so being first time user, I would click again to make sure it got my click for bid. What a sucker I am. Yes, these are all scams. Unfortunately, being human, one must try anyway even after reading all the negative comments. I agree with most of the other bad reviews, that most of the bidders are company people controlling it. This low cost on "sold" items encourages many to keep bidding, but we all failed to understand it's website/company controlled. They make millions on the "clicks". Why shouldn't they sell for a very low price on a high price item, because they're making tons of $1's on our clicks! Join the idiot club!

Just spent an entire evening on this website. Great idea if it was run fairly. Good luck trying to outbid the computer bidder! My nemesis on two bids were 'binbuckin' and 'english girl'. They had unlimited amount of money ex: spending $400 on bids for a bid pack worth only $200. English girl managed to win 4 big items in one evening(she must be magical). Both had an identical way of bidding mostly with 'bid assistent' and sometimes to convince us they were human they would switch to manual. Save your time and your money! Stay far away from this sham! Oh yes, I fully understood how to use this website and am not stupid or else I would still be using it!

I am glad to hear that I am not alone in being "scammed." I saw this on the news, and it was a great way to buy designer items at very low prices. After 2 times buying $99 bid packs, (eeeeeeeeek) I feel scammed by the site. Having a few people look over my shoulder, they determined that the auction end is arbitrary. So it looks like there is a price selected and when it hits, you win. I feel scammed and will be contacting the attorney general of CA about it, although they have bigger issues to worry about... and I just should have known better! :(
