I DISCOVERED THIS WEB SITE TODAY AND WAS SO EXCITED. I REGISTERED TO USE MY AMERICAN CARD AND RIGHT AWAY WON A $100 TIFFANY GIFT CARD FOR 32 CENTS, WOW! WHEN I TRIED TO PAY FOR MY ITEM THE SITE WOULD ACCEPT ONLY VISA (NOTHING LIKE THIS WAS MENTIONED WHEN I REGISTERED). I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE SITE AND RECEIVED A SHORT NOTE INFORMING ME THAT BECAUSE OF WORK BEING DONE ON THEIR SITE ONLY VISA COULD BE USED, NOT EVEN PAY PAL WOULD BE ACCEPTED. I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL MY ACCOUNT AND CREDIT MY AMERICAN EXPRESS FOR THE COST OF THE BID PACK SINCE I HAD BID ON A PRODUCT THAT COULD NOT BE PAID FOR. I WAS INFORMEDS THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME CREDIT FOR BIDS USED. FINE JUST LET ME OUT OF THIS SCAM.

THE SITE IS A SCAM TO CHEAT PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY. WHEN I THREATEN TO REPORT THEM TO THE BBB/DA OFFICE THEY SENT ME AN e-MAIL MAIL CLOSING THEIR AUCTION. I VIDEO TAPE HOW THE NUMBERS WOULD JUMP TO 16 INSTEAD OF 30 TO START OVER. I HAVE PROOF OF VIDEO ON MY BLACKBERRY. THEN THEY LIE TO HAVE PEOPLE BELIEVING THIS ALL THEY PAY FOR AN ITEM. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENDED 14 DEC 2010

Ok, so I realize now that I got taken that I should have read the reviews first. I got a $100 bid pack only to lose it all on bids against what seems like an automated "Bid Assistant". There is no limit to the bid assistant by the way. You don't believe me? Find a winner who has won via "Manual Bid". Exactly, they don't exist. Also, I nerded out and jotted down my last bid (I am 0 for 3 on winnings) and this person named "JULKA33" who started bidding at $0.88 at 6:35pm kept bidding on "Bid Assistant" passing $13.00 two hours later. Do the math = that's over $1000 on an item that retails at $880.

Have you ever played the slot machines at a casino and realized that there are no odds in your favor because you are playing the house? Well, OOHILOVE is the house and is taking everyone to the cleaners. By the way, if you do your research, Louie Vuitton (which I was bidding on) never goes on sale and is strict about who they sell their products to. I think these bags on this website are legit, but they are making about 10 times more than what the items are worth.
Go to EBay or just save for it... it's better than this OOHILOVE CRAP...

I am sooo tired of all the haters out there... if this isn't for you then don't play the game! Please don't send in complaints to the government. No one is forcing you to play. I is not a scam... perhaps a gamble, but not a scam. It is simple a game and if you win... you win HUGE and if you lose... well you don't get the product and you are out some money. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO LOSE, THAN YOU SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING THE GAME! Do not crap on the game if you lost money. It is an auction and if you are not the highest bidder, you won't win, and YES, IT DOES COST YOU $. 99 PER BID-- WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE!

If you don't like that, than go to ebay or bidz.com.

First of all let me say that i personally think that anyone who gets onto sitejabber and makes a good comment about this website has to be a scam or fraud themselves. I have been looking at this website for over a month now debating on whether i should make a purchase and thank god i didn't. Here are some of the reasons why i followed my guts and not buy there bid packets.

The manual bidders has no chance of winning, only the bid assistance ever wins
The bid assitance makes you bid against yourself all the time
Its the same people who wins all the time, mind you only wid the bid assistance.
Nonstop, cantstop, notgonnaquit, notgonnagiveup, giveupalready, alwaysready, try2keepup, yulicos.

Now check the history guys. Lastnight there was a guccibag being auction. It started at 6 and ended at 10 30 the following morning. More than 12 hours people has been bidding. Guess who finally won, bid assistance tkatrob. He placed 1630 bids by himself, totaling $1688. 00. Cum on people the bag was only worth S1,511.00. Why will you bid so much on a bag which is cheaper in the store?
Its obvious that this person was not real or probably works for the company.
They need to be taken off the net and the government needs to do their job and charge these people for fraud.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR VALUABLE MONEY OR TIME ON THIS!

The first time I subscribe into this scam I was looking for a gift for my sister,
And I wanted the most chic loius vuitton bag I could find at the best deal I could find.
So
Ebay only offered me reasonable prices for new original items. So I kept exploring and I find this... oohilove.com page
And it seems too wonderful to be true!

IT IS

$100 dollars later, I realize I lost my money, they won't retrieve it or be responsible AT ALL.
I contacted paypal and then they seemed more willing to deal with me
And I started "bidding" on a bag,
It said that in an hour the bidding would be over,
Okey... 8 hours later, I still havent bid because the bidding is NEVER over, until people all over the world have wasted a dollar for each one cent bid. And that totals 17.000 bidders that just lost a dollar. And the $1600 bag has been paid for 10 times... NICE RIGHT?!

It gets better, once you actually get the bag, you still have to pay for it.:)
Lovely

Under any circumstances I would ever recommend this to anyone.

Go to ebay.
There's always a better chance to get a 70% off deal there.

Good luck

DON'T DO IT!
July 21, 2010

DON'T DO IT! I found this site today and like a FOOL didnt do any research on the company before LOSING $200.00 on bid packs. I was looking at an LV purse the auction was ending in 5 min so I waited till then to bid, that was at 7pm it is now 11:40 and they are still bidding on this same purse. The auction was ending why is it still going?. Come on people that doesnt even make sense. I FEEL LIKE THE BIGGEST FOOL AND LOSER. I should have just thrown that money in the trash. I so embarresed that I am on here writing this.

I'm finding all these reviews of 'ohmigawditsawful' quite silly; it seems that no one bothered to read the fine print, or to find out how the bid assistant works... or indeed to even look at the mechanics of the the site's sales at all.

1) Buy bids. These are $1 for each $0.01 increment of bidding.

This provides for $100 to be made for each $1 of the item's price. So those $900 Christian Louboutin shoes that you bought for $10.12 + 43 bids cost you personally $53.12... but earned the site a gross of $1053. 12. And if they paid $350/pair wholesale... awesome. They're making money and people are bidding competitively. It's fun for the whole family.

2) The Bid Assistant.
You can set the minimum price for when you want to start bidding -- you do not have to start at $0.00 and definitely should not start there! Look at the price ranges of similar items (in many cases, the same item) and see where the bidding range lies... then bid (aka bet) appropriately.
You can also set the maximum price that you'd like to bid up to, and how many bids you'd like to use to get there. Remember, you can theoretically spend $50 just to gain $1 in price; the site will not let you top your own bid, so that you can only get in 50 bids per dollar of price. In reality, there are so many other bidders, that this doesn't happen too often.

I am currently watching two auto-bidders with too much $$ duke it out, they have each spent over $300 just in bids for this one pair of $700 shoes -- the site has already won, especially when you add in the bidders like myself, who will probably spend ~$25 near the end to win/lose the shoes. Some of these $900 pairs of shoes auction for $55.00, i. E., $5500 gross for the site. Not a bad gig, eh?

3) Setting The Bid Assistant
You can limit how many bids the BA can use per your min-max range... it won't spend them all on one-upping $0.01; which is nice feature.

For every person who says 'how unfair it is,' there are a dozen who 'OMG, I love it! It's the best site ever!' -- for someone who just paid $44 for a pair of Louboutin heels vs. someone who paid $100 to lose a Gucci bag... because they did *not* understand the mechanics of the game.

Do you play craps when you go to Vegas? Or do you play Blackjack or Texas Hold'em? EBay is the Blackjack or Hold'em... welcome to craps, ladies.
Win, lose, learn and get some freaking wonderful merchandise at the same time. Just do not listen for me playing the world's tiniest violin when you don't read the rules and don't understand how to play the game. Don't whine when you don't know how to play...

Red flag for me, the winning bidders' screen names: "notgoingtostop", "nevasurrenda", "iluvfun", "TRY2KEEPUP", "NotGonnaStop", "MissAuctionDoll" and "BiddyBady." Come on! It's obvious these are made up names. SCAM!

I DO NOT think the website is a scam and the eord scam definitely a poor choice of wording as it relates to this site. Yes, the owners a making a great deal of money on a lot of the items but I've reviewed SEVERAL of the closed auctions and found that they lose money too. How much does it cost to make a pair of sneakers? Less than $3. Have you ever paid $3? NO! You pay up to 50 times as much but no one is screaming that Nike is a scam. What about the $12 you spend on Tide detergent which probably really costs a dollar or two? Is that also a "scam?" You all sound ridiculous! You're trying to win a LUXURY item so it'snot going to be easy.

Yes, I purchased a bid pack in HOPES of winning a particular auction and although I didn't win but I do not feel like I got scammed b/c I'm a responsible adult who understood the rules. Reading is fundamental. Perhaps you got too excited and spent all your money on a bid pack without a strategy nor a clue. Perhaps using good judgement isn't your strong suit. That's not the site owners problem.

Anyway, I haven't purchased another bid pack and I won't but I still visit the site because it's entertaining for me to see what the final price of the auctions sold for so I visit the winners link. The site is much more fun and interesting when you're watching others bid and spend money as opposed to spending your own.

My suggestions
1. Look at the closed auctions
2. Don't use bid assistant
3. Don't spend more on a bid pack than you can afford
4. Have fun and remind yourself beforehand that you're essentially gambling so you could lose. It's no different than playing a slot machine. There are a lot of people putting money into a slot machine hoping to be the winner but only one person will actually win. No one forced you to sit down a Vegas slot machine and no one is forcing you to purchase a bid pack.
5. Don't be a sore loser and take responsibility for the money you lost. You win some you lose some so don't be a whiny baby.

I am so embarrassed to be here writing on this site. I have never done anything like this before but I have never been so scammed before! They sucked me in. I became vested in a Fendi purse I was bidding on and didn't want to lose. I kept purchasing more bid packs. The purse I was bidding on went on for hours and hours. I was bidding using autobid because the other bidder was also using auto-bid and he had been bidding for a very long time before I joined in. He (bulldog) had to have reached the full purchase price by the time I joined in. I expected him to drop out at any minute. Well, he didn't. I went back and bought more bid packs and was sucked into spending $1,000 in one night on bids. Finally, I did win the Fendi purse but I ended up paying just shy of the full price... which by the way was higher than the price listed in department stores. All in all, I paid twice the amount it was worth. As for Bulldog... he set me up! He has to work for the company because he had to have spent over $3,000 for a $600.00 purse. I still have bids left on that site and I will use them up on a gift card and be done with it. Lesson learned. If it is seems too good to be true, then it IS too good to be true! On a side note... I can't prove it YET, but I believe this over-priced purse is a fake. I found the exact same purse on several online sites for 1/4 the price. I have since been researching online about fake Fendi purses and I have no doubt that I won a fake! They say 100% satisfaction guarantee but the only money you get back is the price the auction actually ended at. You don't get refunded for the bids. This is a rip off and I just hope to help others not make the same mistake I did.

NOTE: This is what I wrote to oohilove.com directly.
I'm really regretting ever signing up on this site, yet in the beginning I was skeptical, but what girl doesn't love a bargin deal, therefore, I followed your site for a few days and then bought some bids. Then quickly figured that this was only a money sucking game you play to all of us innocent people (yes, unforunately I made the choice to partake in this crazy website, I understand) What I'm trying to say is that I don't think it is fair for us to sit here for 3hours in the hopes to play some bidding war w/other people and people who have auto bid. Mind you this is not the first time I've sat here playing the waiting game and the thought that if we all bid 1 second before the time ends, oh, but wait it doesn't just end it just keeps going. I'm very disappointed in this website and how you work, it is unfair and a colossal waste of time. I feel really disappointed in myself for thinking that this website was something more than it really is! I'm sorry to say but this is so unlike me to ever leave a message or complain about anything, but this I just had to and if anyone is to ask me or want a review of your site, well then, this is exactly what they are going to hear. I guess the truth does hurt, but I don't want anyone else to get their hopes high or have some expectation of getting something fabulous, when really they are going to be extremely disappointed that they wasted so much time and energy and money on something that they will propbably never get... my advice to those people thinking of signing up for this is that they are much better off just forking over the real money to pay for something, because everyone's time is more important then sitting here for NOTHING! The End!
