Ratings and reviews

The app is good, but some things aren't quite great. Here are some issues: 1> Auctions that you've won disappear for a time between the auction's close and the time you are to go pick them up, and they don't show up in the "Closed" auction long enough. 2> It is sometimes difficult to tell if you have the currently high bid or not. The worst part is not the app, but the "Open Box" policy. It's not what any reasonable person would believe it is. They could hand you an empty box within policy.

Mostly Positive. You really cant beat the deals. 85% of the time,my experience has been positive. 15% of the time i got non working or damaged items. Early on, i got burned. I then started getting the assurance on what i buy, which can get costly if you buy multiple items. Bid at your own risk! The lines between OPEN BOX and LIKE NEW are blurred. I won bids on like new items that were damaged. If i didnt purchase the assurance, id be stuck, because everything is as is. Its a great concept tho.

Recently updated the app and removed functionality that is available on the website. You can no longer sort items and availability alerts get mixed in with other search results which makes it impossible to distinguish when items aren't actually what you were searching for. You can't sort items by price, current bid, or by auction end time. It makes using the app a chore.
