Mercata: Cheaper with a dozen

by tinasamuels Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 19 '00
Pros: nice prices, easy to navigate
Cons: sometimes miss out on the best deals
I first signed up with Mercata.com when they were offering $50 to signup in store credit, good for 100% of the total price of the item you purchased. Since that time I have seen the bonus go up to $100 but only up to 50% of the item price. Now it is at...

by uclamates , Oct 16 '00
Pros: Great prices, powerbuys, reliable company, promotions, and rebates.
Cons: Not a complete selection in each product area, powerbuys are limited to select products.

Think of it like the Price Club on the Web, with a twist

by hbomb , Sep 01 '00
Pros: Wonderful prices, quality products
Cons: Product selection is not the best
After hearing about a promotion to get $100 off of a Mercata purchase I figured it was maybe time to try this site out. I'll admit that upon entry I was a bit disappointed in finding out you can't use the $100 in total unless you were buying $500 worth...

Just a quick note to anyone reading this review: Don't bother--not that it isn't a fine review--but Mercata is no more, choked by the dot.bomb fever running rampant on the world wide web lately.

Very Cool!!!

by Lynne-Marie , Aug 13 '00
Pros: lower prices
Cons: need credit card, sometimes they just don't have a deal suitable for you
Unfortunately, I don't get 'in' on the deals but the concept of the site is fabulous. It seem I just miss the deal, or I just don't have enough funds or...the deal is good but I really don't need the item.

The pooling of consumers to drive...

Pros: GREAT prices, easy to use, fast shipment

by RSchneid20 , Aug 01 '00
Pros: Great Site
Cons: Bad Genetics
Let me start off by saying that I think that Mercata is a great site. It is a great idea. I'm just a moron. As my friends will attest, whenever I have any money I spend it as soon as possible. Have you ever heard of the saying a fool and his money...
