Pros: Good value Cons: Not always easy to tell what you're bidding on
With the proliferation of auction sites out there today, it's hard to now which ones are worthwhile and which ones just stink. Of course, ebay is the old standby which most people who frequent auction sites will agree is still by far the best, all...
Ubid is an auction site located at www.ubid.com. It works similar to ebay, with the exception being the only seller is ubid. You can either place a regular bid, or sometimes they have "Bid Butler", which will automatically increase your bid up to your...
I have been using this auction service for over a year with great results. I have received numerous items at “bargain” prices while encountering only one problem form all the purchases made in that time. The problem I did have was that I had won an...
The last review of ubid was made in 2000, by my father. While I agreed with him at that point, it is appropriate that I write a counterpoint after ubid's "development" in recent year.
Pros: You can get good deals at ubid, if you're educated about what you're purchasing. Cons: You can pay too much if you're not careful!
I admit it.
I made a mistake. Not a big one, but I did learn a valuable lesson. To really use these online auction services to your best advantage, you NEED TO DO RESEARCH first. It should come without saying, but I'm sure there are others...
Pros: Good deals if patient. Usually identical items to what you want in next auction. Cons: Potential for Auction Frenzy, especially last minute.
Ubid is an on-line auction site. They get a large amount of goods from either the manufacturer or distributors and then try to make money by letting you bid (or overbid) on it.
Positives:
. Great variety of items to bid on. Some...
Pros: Wide variety of online items. Cons: Could be deceived when bidding on an item with multiple components.
May I issue this caveat emptor for first time buyers like myself?
I placed a bid August 29, 2000 for a 3-Piece Disney Winnie the Pooh - Crib Bedding Set. The opening bid was $9 with $2 bidding increments for a quantity of 25 total...
Pity the long-suffering Hawaii resident. He/she has to pay more for the convenience of online shopping than most. But at least other merchants are up front about it. Not uBid.
Here's the situation: Microsoft (by releasing Windows XP) and...
First let me start out by saying I am an internet and online auction enthusiast. I was one of the first to use ebay before all the hype, and am pleased to see how well that site and service has progressed. That being said, I am not a loyalist and am...
Pros: Decent variety, fairly easy to navigate. Cons: They nail you on shipping.
I'm an online shopper. I love discounts. I love the convenience of shopping at home. I actively shop on several online auctions services. UBid initially seemed great to me. A friend recommended it to me. I checked it out and enjoyed it. My first...
With a number of major auction sites now gone, there are alas but a few left that
are really worthwhile. Along with major players like Yahoo!Auctions, Ebay, and
Amazon, UBid has found a unique nitch in the land of online auctions.

Pros: You may find a bargain Cons: Allows deceptive listings, Bad customer service
I have been participating in shopping online and online auctions for years. I have participated in over 60 auctions at eBay and never received a negative comment. I have participated in many auctions at FirstAuction, another website dedicated to new...
Pros: what pros? Cons: very deceptive, not a good deal at all, don't waste your time
I love online auctions--after discovering eBay I spent tons of money on things I didn't even know I needed (read my eBay review for more about that) and have not had one bad experience. So, when I heard about Ubid, an online auction that sells...
Pros: Lots of different items for bid Cons: Deals are that good, watch out for hidden fees and rules
UBid is an online Auction site run by dealers. So the site is primarily for consumers to buy not to sell like ebay. It has a lot to choose from but BUYER BEWARE. Know what you're doing before you bid. If you don't here is what can happen.
