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...
Pros: speedy; cheap prices Cons: don't go there if you are an impulsive buyer
I have known about Mercada for quite a while, but never actually used it. Well, I was looking for a decent father's gift couple of weeks ago, and decided to visit their site.
I made my first purchage within 2 minutes after visiting the site....
Pros: Solid discounts, Excellent Customer Support Cons: Inscrutable return policies

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.
Pros: Group Power Buys Drive the prices down Cons: Limited Selection
Several friends told me about Mercata and it seemed that I was reading about it over and over again on the Bargain Hunters Board on America On-Line. I finally joined up in December of 1999 and as a bonus, Mercata applied $50 in Mercata Dollars to my...
I've heard the ladies on AOL raving about Mercata forever! "I got a $2 phone card", "I got a stroller SUPER cheap", etc. So finally one night I decided to swing on by. I was shocked and impressed with what was about to happen. ...
Pros: Genuine deals, good service, nice merchandise Cons: Must check in frequently for "powerbuy" opportunities, odd non-specialized product selection
The Mercata "powerbuy" concept is an interesting one: offer up a product and let the price drop as people sign up to buy it. This has worked well for me several times -- everything from a $20 savings on small electronics (the...
If you haven't been to Mercata, go now. You will get $25 in Mercata dollars for joining. I jumped in on this deal when it was $50 and boy, was it a great deal for me.
Mercata is one of those strange sites where they sell products in...
Pros: Great prices, powerbuys, reliable company, promotions, and rebates. Cons: Not a complete selection in each product area, powerbuys are limited to select products.
I was drawn to Mercata because of the $100 incentive for new customers. Then I found out more about how the Group Powerbuying process worked -- and I LOVE IT! I highly recommend Mercata for the following reasons:
Pros: Free shipping, power buys Cons: They do not carry every product, or brand name
This company is listed in the wrong place, they sell much more than jewelry. I got to their link from a posting on another board. The post said free $25 for first time shoppers. I signed up. I didn't read the small print, it said the $25 could only be...
I have gotten some great deals through Mercata's Powerbuys!! When I first signed up, I got $50 off as a first customer & got a 13" color tv w/remote & ended up paying only $65 for it!!!
I found Mercata because a friend recommended that I try it. When I signed up, I got a free $25 to spend on things there, so all the more incentive to give it a shot.
I have ordered twice from this company, both times I have recieved a top...
Pros: New concept, Authorized dealer, good customer service, prompt response Cons: better to know the price before buy, as original prices are high
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)
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...
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...
Pros: quality product, quick shipping Cons: Wish there were more Mercata Dollars to be earned
I fell on to this website a few months ago and fell in love with it. I happily scarfed up the Mercata dollars offered to me when I signed on and scoured the site for something I had to have. I found oodles of quality products like Bissel and Henkels. My...
Pros: GREAT prices, easy to use, fast shipment Cons: You buy WAY too much but you just can't help it!
I happened onto Mercata.com by accident while I was shopping for a double stroller. It so happened that there was a neat one on there, and it was going for really cheap, so I signed up. As soon as I signed up, I was given bonus dollars to spend towards...
I heard of Mercata on t.v and decided to check it out. I was looking for a good deal on the Eddie Bauer booster seats for two of my daughters. I priced them for about $79.99 at numerous stores online and out in the "real world". Then there...
Pros: If a lot of people buy a product, the price drops Cons: you never know how much the price will actually drop; not great savings
When I first read about Mercata in the "New York Times," I though it was a fantastic idea. We all know the way business works. The more you buy, the cheaper the price gets, so why not pass that on to the consumer. That is how Mercata is...
Pros: Great products at great prices Cons: That you sometimes have to pay shipping
I first saw Mercata advertised on T.V. I thought that it was just another gimick to get people to the site, I truly believed they marked the
price way up so that when it went down it was no deal at all. Boy was I wrong. I was just about to go on...
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.
Pros: Dont have to go to the store Cons: Cheaper at stores
First of all thanks for visting my epinion.
Mercata.com you have probally heard of it by now they advertise on tv and the radio. The idea is simply they sell stuff on there website and supposly the more people who buy the product the cheaper...
Pros: Unbelievable prices and FREE Shipping Cons: a few extra days to process orders...
This is by far the best web deal site on the net.
In the past month, I have made 3 purchases from Mercata.com and I have not been this excited to shout praises in quite a while. The first purchase, a DVD Player by Samsung, was purchased for...
Pros: great savings, easy to use Cons: as with any online site, you must be familiar with product, as you can't see it in person
This is the absolute best website for buying baby gear if you want to save money! We have bought a jogging type baby stroller that I absolutely love for under $100 as well as a convertible car seat that retails at $140 for $100. The power buys are great...
I was looking for a DVD player, I shopped the internet , looking both in dot com's and independent business's. The type of DVD player I was looking for went from $299.00 to $399.00. I then tried A web site that I saw a t.v. commercial for,Mercata.com....
Pros: Discounts, Efficient Cons: Not a wide selection of every product
I bought a couple of christmas presents with Mercata.
Not only did they arrive on time, no problems with billing, or shipping, or any of the usual problems with online sites...
It gave $50 off my first order, plus free shipping, making it...
Pros: great prices, good merchandise Cons: inefficient, unprofessional and rude customer service
I've ordered three products from Mercata -- a Microwave, a pair of pearl earrings and a DVD player. All products were gotten at a considerable savings via group buys, and were high quality and promptly delivered. HOWEVER, you should beware of their...
Pros: Great selection, prices, service, promptness Cons: virtually none
Finally, a place where I can sing the praises of Mercata! I discovered MErcata a few months ago while I was in the midst of shopping for the birth of my child. Naturally, I was trying to save money, yet I still wanted to make quality purchases. I...
Pros: fast cheap and friendly staff Cons: i wish they carried a more product types
