This is the first of its kind offering PowerBuy group purchases to bring "Buying Power to the People" by allowing you to join other shoppers and drive down prices in real time (Later players are Accompany)
PowerBuy group purchases are limited-time sales that usually last between one to four days. The selection of products offered as PowerBuy group purchases is always changing.
If customers offers the current price, customer is guaranteed to get his/ her product at that price OR LESS (depending on how many other people join the PowerBuy). If customer offers a different price, he / she will only get your item if the price drops to what you offered or below.
New, name-brand products are available and they're backed by manufacturer warranties because Mercata is an authorized dealer for every brand they carry.
Best point @ Mercata -
Registration is simple and easy. Free Shipping within Continental US and most areas of Canada. Customer can return products within 30 days for a refund or replacement. I find good customer Service at customer service as the e-mail replies I received have taken only 12 hours. Mercata communicates Order confirmation and shipping confirmation promptly.
Careful -
Original prices shown are very high. Do not tend to buy for the Powerbuy discounts they display. I advise you to go through Mysimon, BottomDollar, dealtime etc price search engines before buying any prouct at Mercata, so that you can be sure that you are not paying more at Mercata.
Current Deal -
Mercata is issuing 25 Mercata Dollars (store credit) for new customers till 1/31/2000. Mercat Dollars can be redeemed upto 50% purchase prices.
Based on my previous purchase experiences, Mercata is a good place to buy, if you know the right price of the product.
You can make your purchases Power buys.
