  • Kijiji

Kijiji.ca works great if you know how to use it. They will not allow multiple ads in different target market locations of the same product or service - although this is supposed to be a global policy, many professional resellers are now flooding the pages with repeated ads for their products. Automobile sales and marketing "opportunities" - these sellers have found a way to get their ads placed in multiple categories, but joe-public is usually denied. There is also often a long delay in when you submit the ad to when it is posted, so posting time sensitive ads can be a problem as their review of posted ads is slow.

  • Replacements

Good info, although the photos and descriptions could be improved - not sure what they actually have in stock. Registered a china pattern with them a couple of years ago and have not had a single response that they found a piece for me, so am thinking that there's not a lot of manpower behind the site to keep it current, or people looking for your requested pattern. Prices set on the replacement site are quoted on other sites (such as eBay as price references), but they are no way near what the market will pay for such pieces. What they are asking for replacement china on their site is astronomical compared to what you could find on other websites that sell porcelain or china goods. They might have what you are looking for, although every china pattern I am interested in and have checked on their site, they don't have the actual pieces in stock.

I am giving two stars as Quibids did follow through with sending the gift card I "won", and they sent it quite quickly. Unfortunately, I paid at least 50x the face value of the card I won though and my time lost will never be replaced. However - if you consider that it took days to finally win something and that most of my bids were pushed out by auction bidding robots or potentially hired staffers with much deeper pockets, it was not a "yeah, everybody should try this site" feeling when I won, more like "what have I just wasted my time and money on?" experience that you don't really want to share with friends or family. Perhaps there are some genuine bid winners out there who have gotten some great deals and could give testimonials about the site - but thus far, I haven't read any from anyone who is not affiliated with the site. Good time waster - kinda fun in a way - but don't expect miracles and set a limit on how much you will spend on an item or you will soon get caught up in the auction mentality of "gotta have it" when you really don't. :)

Lots of great info on vintage treasures and antiques, even if you are just browsing. Helpful site.

  • Homesuperstore.ca

Fastest shipping ever - product delivered quickly and was of better quality than expected. Found their prices great, and their shipping service amazing. I would recommend this retailer for their follow-through and order fulfillment - the products they sell are mostly made offshore unfortunately - so you do get what you pay for on many items - but you might also experience a happy surprise like we did as we are thrilled with the price, delivery, and the product we purchased from www.homesuperstore.ca
