Two items bought said like new. One was obviously filthy and not new and the other was completely broken. They don't check any of their items and they lie about what is like new. They don't actually know it's like new cause they don't test any of it and are quite deceptive. Buyer beware a lot!!!

Loved the idea of getting things a little less expensive for my classroom (I am a teacher.) However, items are often not represented fairly. The item will say "Like New" or "Open Box", which implies it has been checked. However, only one picture is often shown (the original from Amazon or Walmart) or the closed box. However, at least 70% of what I purchased was missing pieces, instructions, or was completely broken inside the box. I spent more buying replacement pieces to things than I might have if I had just ordered the items new. If you want the option to return and item, should it be broken or missing pieces, each bid costs an additional $7 insurance policy. May be worth it on high priced items, but not only other things. I REALLY wanted to like this and feel like it was a win/win, but after a summer filled with fixing and replacing things I purchased, I am officially finished.

Pos company. I drive 40 miles each way and purchase "like new" item missing parts. Ill just buy it on Amazon

Watched the bidding clock wind down to zero...no other bids for the item over a 5 day period. I won it (so I thought) with my $1 bid... 30 seconds later, with no visual movement on the bid site, received an email stating i lost the item to a $2 bid. I now believe the rumors of Mac Bid employees making fake bids to jack up prices.. Done with those crooks.

I am absolutely fed up with MacBid!! The amount of fees that they love to tack on to every single item along with the fact that you have to be a member in order to return items or even shop or pick up already purchased items at certain times is ridiculous. I arrived today at ten thirty a m to pick up my items that were a birthday gift for my mother and even though they were open and others were shopping and picking up their items , I was not allowed to because I didn't have the nine dollar and ninety nine cent membership fee that would allow me to pick up my already purchased items. To be very honest with you, it made me feel rejected and less cared for because I couldn't afford the $9.99 membership fee part.\nLy do because I pay four dollars for every individual item that I purchase from their website as a buyer's premium as well as fifteen percent buyers fee!!! But I'm not privy to pick up my already purchased items at 10:30 AM once again. Because I did not pay my $9.99 membership fee, which, by the way, can go all the way up to $299 for the year? Inclusivity is a thing that everyone should feel not just the ones who can afford it! Inclusive- including everyone and ensuring no person or group is left out, regardless of their background, identity, or abilities. It can also describe a package or price that covers all costs and services. WORST AUCTION HOUSE EVER!!

I recently tried Mac Bid and it was a complete disappointment. I purchased an open box folding table that should have been labeled damaged since it had a huge chunk of the table coming off. I also purchased an open box pet vacuum that should have been labeled partial or missing parts because when I opened the box there was no vacuum. The only thing in the box were the attachments and the bag that holds them. The only way I found to contact them is through email and they didn't seem to care and just want you to buy there expensive membership so you can make returns. I will never purchase from them again and I would not recommend Mac Bid to anyone.

I won a sealed like new item was charged almost $40 for an office chair without an arm rest and a stand. When I reach out customer service I was told they could not do anything about it because the auction was closed and I should have check the item before leaving the premises.My point is why are they labeling it Like New if its incomplete? What a waste of my 40 minutes travel time and money for something that's impossible to fix.If its missing a screw is fine but a stand and arm for an office chair???

Bypass this auction, this auction charges a $3 fee plus the normal 15% seller fee, which is higher than other auctions in the area. The difference between this and other auctions, is that Mac-Bid does not accept returns regardless of broken items or them out and out selling you a completely different item than what was advertised. It's literally a hit and miss if you're going to get what you think you're bidding on in the first place. They do sell insurance though, to cover a return if they mess up and sell you something broken or incorrect. Yes, YOU have to pay for the insurance in case they sell you a broken or incorrect item. So far I bought a canvas wall art that came with a broken frame and a patio umbrella that was broken in half. Both were listed as open box, and both were unreturnable.
