Telebid

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: have to buy bids, auctions can go on for days

I was just surfing the internet when an advert came up at the side saying about telebid.com. I thought i'd give it a look to see if i could get any of the products at the prices it was offering. I went to sign up and then realised that you had to buy your bids and the chances of actually winning were slim. Personally i think its just a scam that has been thought through to pull people in. There are many disadvantages, to begin with if someone bids ...
...means that the product could potentially last up to a month. It would cost a fortune to buy the bids to win the product and they must be making alot of money as you can only purchase the bids in groups. I don'e recommend this site an i say think before you join... ...

Review of telebid.com

Sold

Advantages: Absolutely free, no junk e-mails
Disadvantages: None

I came across this site whilst looking for Freeads. A search engine recommended this as a place to buy & sell second hand stuff. I registered (which took a matter of seconds) and placed two ads on the site. It was so easy and effective that I must write an opinion on it! The fact that the most recent ads were given priority listing I found to be of enormous benefit. If you are a buyer, you automatically know which goods are more likely not to have ...
...seller you benefit from prime selling space. You can delete the ad if you find you have moved down too far and re-submit (for prime selling position!). The site also secures your details - you can decide what people see (and they only see your e-mail address once they have e-mailed you). You can chose whether people see your name, telephone, address etc. It also asks you what area you live in so potential buyers can decide whether they want to buy ...

Review of preloved.co.uk

New Zealands largest auction site :)

Advantages: Easy to use, great auctions, great design, trustworthy
Disadvantages: none

Trademe is the largest Auction site in New Zealand. It is easy to use, and has many benefits as an auction site :) The layout is easy to navigate, and has a very nice design and script, everything is easy to find, and a computer dummy could find their way around quite easily as it is very organised :) My favorite benefit to Trademe is that you can leave feedback and ratings on your experiences with the users you have bought and sold to, as well as ...
...can view their feedback prior to buying so you know if you can trust the seller to post an expensive item :) They also have a good community on the website and a messageboard for those that enjoy socialising. Trademe is very low on fees, and doesn't cost much to use, infact if you are just a buyer, you don't even need to top up your account :) Auctions have a range from household items, food and drink, to cars and houses, pretty much anything you ...

Review of trademe.co.nz

Excellent Site and FREE !!

Advantages: Free to Buy, Free to Sell, Free to Register
Disadvantages: NONE

I have been using AVABID.COM since they launched just over a year ago. It has always been a very good auction site to list items on. It is very fast (compared to other sites), and there are plenty of registered users. When I signed up I received a free £10 credit just by transferring my ratings from the old Yahoo UK auction site. I believe they still offer this feature. I have been recommending this site to others, and would recommend it to you ...

Review of avabid.com

first class site for computer buffs

Advantages: cheap prices, reasonably fast delivery
Disadvantages: limited choice, some computer knowledge required

This was one of my very early opinions. The revamp on ciao has meant it is worthwhile for me to revisit it as it has a chance of being read at the top of my profile. The original review follows and add ops are at the end. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXORIGINALXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This site sells new and used computer hardware and some software.I have used this site for the past two years and found it an excellent way to pick up a bargain. If you ...
...no drivers, then this is the site for you. Prices are very keen and there is a simple bid system including a bid robot to let you keep on bidding to your maximum even if you have gone offline. You can also practice biding in a fantasy auction. What are the prices like - I picked up a laptop for under £350 including VAT and delivery. This was a Pentium with CD, infrared etc. There are disadvantages - you are going on a limited description and you ...
