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.
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.

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.
It may take a Little while to realize a bidding strategy, but once you've played enough the benefits become really great compared to the expense. The products are awesome most of the times and you can always spend your discounts if you get unlucky with the bids.
I love it
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

none. just the towels
Hello, I have met Madbid for a few months now. Madbid actually did not meet my expectations directly. The reason is not that I can not win any prize. I followed the bids to the end. Even if I did not offer anyone else at one time, my polish did not result. I do not know why it happened. I wish I could win a new gift. If you can not win, there's no point in being here. I wish you a good day.
My adventure at Madbid site began in 2014 and I am still a happy user and customer as well :) I have bid many great brand new products here on Madbid so far, I am going to try my luck with bidding in the future too. It is not always easy and possible to win anything here but if you are patient and a good observer you will get your reward. Nobody loses anything on Madbid because if you're not lucky enough you can always buy exciting things at madbid shop for earned discount, you cannot lose your money at Madbid because for lost credits you are awarded with earned discount which you can spend on new high quality electronic gadgets at their shop. I can honestly recommend Madbid :) This is my most favorite and exciting site.
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.
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.
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.
Hallo,
Ich bin seit Ende Januar 2016 bei MadBid und habe bislang 4 Auktionen gewonnen (Kopfhörer, Lautsprecher, Festplatte und Küchenmaschine).
Man muss sich bei Auktionen ein Limit setzen und überlegen, ob man von Beginn an mitbietet oder etwas später einsteigt und beobachten, wie viele Mitbieter vorhanden sind. Ich kaufe mir in dem Moment auch keine weiteren Bids, weil ich mir ein Limit setzte zudem würden solche Käufe auch nicht viel Nutzen haben, weil andere das genauso machen könnten.
Positiv ist bei MadBid, dass kein Euro verloren wird. Man gewinnt und erhält Ware, die bei mir immer am dritten Werktag nach der Bezahlung eintraf. Und wenn man nicht gewinnt, dann bekommt man die eingesetzten Bids als erworbenen Rabatt gutgeschrieben und kann dafür im Shop Ware und Bids kaufen.
Positiv ist auch die Kundenbetreuung, die mir 1 Mal einen Bidkauf auf mein Girokonto zurück erstattete. Ein weiteres Mal wurden mir Versandkosten auf mein Girokonto gutgeschrieben, weil mehrere Artikel in einem Paket versendet wurden. Und vor kurzem wurde mir erworbener Rabatt gutgeschrieben, weil wahrscheinlich Preisveränderungen beim Sofortkauf nicht berücksichtigt wurden.
Eigentlich bin ich mit MadBid sehr zufrieden und bemängele lediglich den Maximal Preis erreicht. Bei einem Produkt von zum Beispiel von rund 200 Euro für einen Kopfhörer ist der Maximalpreis 17 Euro und man würde nicht mehr als eben diese 17 Euro beim Auktionsgewinn bezahlen müssen.
Das Problem ist beim Maximalpreis, das von Beginn an Bietende zu oft aufgeben müssen und das könnte dazu führen, überhaupt nicht mehr von Beginn an zu bieten die letzten Sekunden abwarten und dann erst bieten.
Die Abschaffung des Maximalpreises wäre fairer, damit von Beginn an Bietende eine bessere Chance haben und bei steigendem Preis sogenannte Spekulanten abgeschreckt werden.
Vielleicht könnte man auch eine Grenze ziehen, bei Produkten von unter 500 Euro oder 1000 Euro ohne Maximalpreis, bei Produkten über den Wert mit Maximalpreis.

I came to know about Madbid.com from newspaper article.
Madbid.com is an indeed a virtual hub in this era of e-shopping where one can avail
Endless products at unimaginable prices.
In the initial months, I didn't won any of the product but I never stopped bidding.
Gradually as the days passed I won the first product and the list continues.
Hopefully this shopping experience with Madbid.com will go on & on.
'Keep bidding, keep winning.' :)
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'
Esta idea es muy buena m agrada aunque no es tan fácil ganar una subasta es 100% real
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
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!
Fairer Seite. Hab super schnell noch das erste Mal nach Registrierung was gewonnen, steckte aber bestimmt auch viel Glück dahinter. Ich würde die Seite weiterempfehlen, obwohl man bedenken soll, dass sie diejenigen sind die im Endeffekt gewinnen. Bei einem guten Portion Glück bekommt man aber auch tolle Schnäppchen. Lieferung war super schnell. Service auch sofort erreicht und sehr kompetent.
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.
I have seen many penny auction sites but there is some kind of hidden rules and regulations which came in your knowledge when you got stuck and there is no chance of getting out from there except you have to lose something in lieu of. But MADBID is totally transparent to their clients and their terms and conditions are straightforward, so no chance of making mistake by the customer.
I'm registered on this site for almost more than half a year. And their customer care is so cordial to their customers and time bound for providing the help.
Know the most important thing about any penny auction site are their products genuinity and the delivery of their products in promised time.
I really appreciate their fairness and transparency in the business.
I would definately reccomend this auction site to be joined. Just give them a chance to serve you and then result speaks itselfs. Within My circle there are more than 20 friends who are attached with this site and used to appreciate it always we have a get together.
MADBID really makes you MAD about it.
So, join it today and start having a lot of fun and go really MAAAAAAAAAD...
Tip for consumers:
MADBID is the game of patience and control of your mind. As we all know that,"ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY" therefore have some patience and rest all is yours...
So enjoy dear friends....
CHEERS..................
I came to know about Madbid from online articles. At first I opened my account just to give a try. But once I started bidding I found it a nice fun packed thrilling experience that I started to bid daily. After analyzing personally how Madbid works, started bidding regularly. Won an auction (HTC desire 316 G). Winning an auction makes me feel so excited. Getting the product delivered in hand within the specified time makes me feel rewarded for the worthy time I spent with Madbid, a genuine trustworthy auction site.
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.
