Shady ah. When I first started I got some pretty good finds. I've been trying to win a bed frame for over a month. Won my first one, and when I went to pick it up, they couldn't find it. Won my 2nd one just now and they re-opened the bidding as I watched the countdown hit 0. After I won the item, 2 more minutes were placed on the clock. What is the point of having a countdown if the app doesn't follow it? And no, no one else bid on the item until it reopened up and they had another 20 seconds.

I love OLA. Unlike penny auctions, bids are free. The condition is listed for each item and they have links to a google search of the item so you can see reviews. The fees are standardized in which there is a flat fee per item ($2), an auction fee (15% of your final bid price), and then sales tax. So you can roughly figure out what your final out of pocket amount is and determine your maximum bid. My only issue is the notification system for a bid closing soon will sometimes come too late.

the experience is great but the app takes too long to open on a brand new phone and by the time you open the app from a notification that a item is ending soon it's already closed. they have to expand that time. I've lost so many bids because it's gone by the time the app opens. neat just to set your own timer/alarm. and the $2 fee on every win is a a little steep. People think their getting a deal but when all is said and done a lot of times you get a better price for a new item at retailer.
