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.

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.

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.

Inspect first
April 17, 2022

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!

Avoid madbid it is a con
January 28, 2018

Gambling site pretending to be an auction. Terrible experience. They use fake reviews and online articles to appear like a good deal. I look forward to the day they have to repay all us users that were miss sold to.

Niet echt tevreden
November 8, 2017

Heeft mij al veel geld gekost en nog niks gewonnen. Met de credits kan je niet zoveel kopen, zijn allemaal artikelen waar je niet zoveel aan hebt. Objectief beoordelen is zeer moeilijk, mede dat je geen inzicht krijg wat je aan gewonnen credits al hebt aangekocht.

Alucinante
October 25, 2017

Realmente es una subasta que al menos en España es de la mejor!
Empiezas dudando un poco pero vas aprendiendo y al final te das cuenta que es una joya para poder tener productos a bajo precio! La recomiendo

Madbid.com fun Bidding
October 2, 2017

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.

It's frustrating for me
September 6, 2017

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.
