Mercata: Cheaper with a dozen

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 $100 but only up to 20% of the item. Don't get me wrong $100 is $100 whether you use it on one item or ten, still adds to the same amount.
You register at the site and they instantly will deposit 100 Mercata$ in your account good toward anything (excluding tax and shipping). The you go shopping, searching for whatever appeals to your senses. I personally always check out the section called "Top 10 powerbuys".
For example, right this second they have on their Top 10:
1-HP PhotoSmart 1 MegaPixel w/1152 x 872 Resolution Digital Camera, C200XI
currently $202.54
2-Razor Rollerboard Scooter w/Shock Absorbers and Carry Strap, MS130B1 currently $102.43
3-Razor Rollerboard Scooter, MS130A currently $88.44
4-Sonicare Plus Sonic Toothbrush, PL-3 currently $86.84
5-Sharp DVD/CD Player w/Dolby Digital Decoder, DV750U currently $208.54
6-Toshiba DVD/CD Player, SD1200 currently $195.35
7-Toshiba DVD/CD Player w/Dolby Digital Decoder, SD2200 currently $268.20
8-Sharp 4-Head VCR, VC-A400U currently $68.65
9-Honeywell Enviracaire HEPA Air Cleaner, 62500 currently $69.10
10-Duracraft Oscillating Ceramic Heater, CZ-320 currently $29.55
All these items are listed in auction form, you go lock in to a price. If they reach that price (or lower) you get it at the lowest price. If they do not reach that price you do not. I usually lock in at the price its listed as cause I know alot of people will bid with me. The more people that go to purchase the same item as you, the more that the price drops.
Mercata also offers a guarantee, great customer service, email notification on your power buys, and wonderful shipping options.
I have bought through them several times, and all was at a great price and feeling. I can recommend this from someone who has shopped there successfully.
