I purchased JBL speaker on 12th Feb 2016' I have'nt received the speaker till now. I did write many mail to madbid. There is a lady called Jane, when ever she replys to my mail she mention I will check with the local supplier and get back to me. All the good reviews on this site. Is for sure paid reviews.

You can win products at discounted prices if you are prepared to invest a little to understand how the site works first. Once you know what to look for, you just have to be patient and bid at the right time.

Geniale
November 27, 2016

Un nuovo modo come poter aver un prodotto a propria scelta al prezzo inferiore di acquisto. Male che può andare non ci si rimette, perchè non aggiudicandosi l'asta si sono accumulati i soldi per poterlo acquistare,

Excellent site 'Madbid'
November 13, 2016

It is a good site to trust and spend some time and money to achieve big. Winning an auction creates excitement and encourage for further bidding. Do spend more time to analyze the auctions before starting to bid. Good luck. Cheers

Buenas
Gane un par de productos
Para ello estudia precio de cierres previos y los creditos que llevan gastados tus contrincantes
Hay que tener muy claro lo que te vas a gastar de creditos.

Ganando subastas
October 26, 2016

Para ganar una batería de 14 piezas, la batalla fue bastante dura, pero entre en una posición muy cómoda contra solo dos bidders
La estrategia a seguir fue observar la subasta, luego, esperar a que pocos bidders estuvieran dentro de esta, para meter mis posiciones
El consejo que doy a los nuevos usuarios, es que sean selectivos en las encuestas a ganar y que elijan un momento apropiado para poner sus posiciones.

Madbid is a good website were you can get some expensive things for a low price.
My experience was good, I won a kitchenware for about $39USD(including the credits I need to expend). Madbid encourage its winners to share their experience in exchange of some free credits (that´s why you may see a lot of reviews saying than they have won).

Here are some points that Madbid could improve:
* They are not exactly a bidding place. Madbid is more like a place were you bet when all the people interested on a product will ran out of credits or they are not interested anymore. So, they can change this to make a more accurate description and avoid scam accusations.
* Include more products. They can include things like hardware tools, washers, microwave, blenders, ovens. Also they include iMac computers but they don't have PC's that really overtakes them like gamer laptops (ASUS, MSI, Alienware)
* They could have some regional/limited "auctions" to increase the possibility to win for some unlucky users or frequent users that have won that privilege.

Here are some points if you want to take a chance at Madbid:
* Don´t expect to win the first time. It is not impossible but it takes some time to understand the dynamic and way of work of Madbid.
* Expend your credits wisely, learn to say "Stop" if you already wasted a lot of credits and you just can´t won that auction, there will be more.
* You must have in mind that not all the money you expend buying credits will be lost. Madbid will give you some money back when you expend credits on an auction and didn't won. So, if you are going after a product you can try to won an auction and get it a lot cheaper or, lost some money (about 20% - 30%) trying to won an auction and then buy something in Madbid with the money that Madbid gives you back each time you don't win an auction.

Hope this helps.
