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! :(
I noticed their big authentictiy claim yet they have a picture of a LV speedy with upside monogram on it, this is is typical of fake LV bags. What the hell? They must really think people are stupid. Then to double check I found this site and it confirmed my suspicions. I think the people that have written that they actually won bags on via the site, are probably hired by oohilove to calm the bad reviews, stay away!
I have just watched an auction on this website for the Louis Vuitton Galliera bag. The winner spend $1,362.08. This bag costs $ 1,280 for the 16.5"" x 11.4"" x 6.7 if you purchase it directly from Louis Vuitton If you are taking part in these auctions with the purpose of buying the item regardless of whether you win or not you might want to cheek out the real retail value of the item.
I found this website in the side ad column on my facebook page so I decided to visit. I did not purchase any bids nor would I because I quickly did the math and realized they make ridiculous amount of money within no time whether the items are legitimately authentic or not. For example, you are essentially purchasing every bid at $1 give or take because apparently if you purchase higher bids you "save". Every bid adds $. 02 each time and for instance, I saw that one of the previous winners had won a Dior quilted bag for $268.84. Take that amount and divide by the amount per bid ($268.84/$. 02 = *******bids) and considering each bid essentially costs you $1 per bid, they earned easy $13,442! That's not including the price the winner has apparently won at $268.84 totaling $13,710.84! Is that not enough to convince you that there is obviously something wrong with this picture here?
How low can you get to use cancer for your fake site. Ever lost anyone to cancer when you donated a kidney to save my brother. He did great then he got leukiemia&died horribly, they botched my surgery, have to sleep sitting up, cant use my left side, deformed, the pain is so intense i just want to die but its a sin&i want to go to heaven so i can see all my loved ones! Shame on you, karma will get you&all that you love even tho i don't think you know what love means! You took $s out of my account without my permission. Heard of jail? 0 bet you have already been there. Don't ever use this site they will steal you blind! Bunch of thieves... karma karma karmelien. Enjoy your money, everything is a trade off. You sold your soul to the devil!
The site is so cooool who is giving everyone a chance to win most expensive brands in such a low prices which one can't imagine. If a person is addicted to handbags and brands like me,, must check out this site... i gaurantee she will play for one of the products here... keep it up oohilove
After I had "won" an item at a very fair price they had me jump through many hoops and I still have not received it. They had me FAX my driver's license several times (sensitive info covered) and although the item has been paid for by VISA, I can't get them to tell me how I should pay for shipping costs. They have it listed as waiting for shipping approval. They said they did not have my address which was listed TWICE on the address page and on my driver"s license. I would not go through this hassle which has lasted for days and numerous calls and emails for any bargain. I get a different person on the "support team" each time I email and have never been able to speak to anyone by phone. You can only leave you number. Not worth it. If not resolved soon BBB and VISA fraud dept.
I can't understand what's with the incessant whining going on in these reviews about this site being a scam. It is very clearly a PAY-TO-BID site. The language on how to use the site is very clear and straightforward. The language around the Bid packages is very clear and straightforward. If you do the quick math, it is pretty clear that each bid costs the user a $1 - and each time you bid, you are out a dollar. That's part of the fun. It is possible to win these high end bags for more than 90% off the cost of retail. I personally have won two bags on the site. They are real, authentic bags. The site is legit and it was MY decision how much I wanted to bid on each auction. No one "scammed" me into buying bids or pushing the bid button. If you don't understand the simple concept of pay to bid, or understand why these auctions can take an exorbitant amount of time to actually win, then stick with eBay. But stop crying foul or saying it's a scam. It's not.
I saw a bunch of comments on this site and thought I would give my 2 cents. Spent $100 on the site bidding for a Louis Vuitton Speedy and didn't win. I was really upset and thought I wasted so much time. But for some reason (probably my own stupidity), I really loved the Speedy so tried again, but this time only bought a $50 bunch of bids. I spent over 2 hours waiting patiently bidding and WON the bag! I love this bag soooooo much and was so happy once I received it! Since then, I've won a pair of Tiffany earrings. Still waiting for them to arrive.
Penny Auction wears Prada. Don't be fooled by the official looking website. The items are most likely authentic but you will need to place a lot of bids at 99 cents a pop to have a chance at winning and bidding wars are painfully tedious to sit through. On the positive, if you lost your head and placed 100 bids at a cost of 99 cents each only to lose the auction, you can apply that money spent toward the purchase of that item at its real cost. A little bit of a consolation, but if you had wanted to pay the full price of the item, you wouldn't have wasted two hours of your time bidding on it in the first place. Shop the legitimate sample sale sites instead.
I've been watching the site for about 2 months but couldn't get any independent confirmation that it wasn't a giant ripoff or how they could possibly sell@ such low "prices." Now I get it and believe. I will get back to you with my progress…after the holidays.
This site is great! I've been using it for a week and I won my first item, a REALLY cute LV bag, yesterday. I don't understand why all these people are labeling it a "scam." It's not a scam, I will say that it is a gamble. You buy your bids and then you COMPETE for the item you want. When you are competing against other users you are probably going to lose a lot (the LV bag I won was my 6th auction, and I probably spent about $60 prior to that). The website is straightforward and honest about how it works, and if you are spending money at oohilove.com you need to acknowledge that is a competition, and competitions have losers. However, I WON, so I will definitely be back. Thanks oohilove!
For the people who have not won anything from this site must be so dumb to bid on items. The simple idea to win is having much time that one can spend on the site and wait for the last seconds to bid again on the same item. One who spend most of the time will definetly win... Yes the site makes money but the person who will win, will save so much money and that can be you also. Think about it.
Read about this site from momfinds.com. Reviewed the website carefully and their "tips" inlcuding their bidassistant. Bought $30 worth of bids and tried to bid on a few things. Have 2 bids left and after watching some of these auctions go on for a very long time (which I don't have) and realizing that I could keep spending a lot of money and still NOT win anything that it's just like GAMBLING. You have to spend $1 every time you make a bid that increases by. 02. So you're not really getting a bargain. Not to mention the website is making big $.
An LV bag finishing at $120, means that the site has really made $6000 ($120 divided by 2 cents) on a bag that cost them $1600! Who makes a profit like that?
Hi,
Oohilove is very nice site i have seen after such a long time. Very cool concept by which people who have not much money to buy top brands(brands which people like me can only think about) NOW can buy those at very low prices... after winning a LV bag, I also feel like jennifer lopez... On top of the world right now... LOV YOU OOH I LOVE
I think it sucks. All the items go for 70-90% off. But the one item i bidded on went for 8% off and stopped when i stopped bidding. You have to buy bids and when your bids are up item sells. Scam, scam, scam. Thats what i think. Don't do it!
My sister Ema told me about OOHILOVE, first time i ignored it but next when she told me, I take a chance and understand all the criteria of oohilove.Its really awesome i won Tiffany pendants in just 3$. Wow Its so nice to play with ooh i love, I have received my pendants with in 2 week and they are authentic. Keep it up oohilove.
I think it is a scam even though i only loose $29.99 i quickly realise that i would not win any auctions when the same bidders are outbidding themselves evey time the auction get to 5 seconds. I regreted buying the bid pack.
