They have become greedy and super shady with the new “extended time” nonsense as items are counting down. Defeats the whole concept of an auction in this manner. Pathetic. Also, whoever is conducting quality control of items listed needs to be retrained or fired. 2/3 of the items I’ve bought had undisclosed damage issues resulting in returns.

Hate the bid extension! Will not be buying as long as this stays in place.

What's with the extended time on items - it has no end to the bidding. You sit there and wait to bid ONLY to add more time for more bids and it keeps going up and up - you might as well price your items and just post them for sale with what you want????????????? It was fun while it lasted. I have now lost interest on Nellis based on this new set up :(

I used to love this auction it was fun and I got some good deals. With that being said with the new extended ending times has taken all the fun out of it and is nolonger worth my time.

It used to be a good second-hand deal. Now, it's another Con-ya-fornia scam. I am so sick of firing those people! Good-bye!

Ill start by saying I have won 250 items in the last 3 months. I have also returned several items because a vast majority of the auctions are inaccurately described. You could get decent deals if you were persistent and paid attention. The way the system worked previously to 2/22/24 was that you would have items ending on the minute, every minute from around 6:00pm to about 9 or 10PM every day. At that time, you were usually able to scroll through and see what is ending, make your bids and move on. Many people like to snipe the bid at the last 5 seconds. Usually getting a better deal on the items. Now, if you make a bid in the last 30 seconds, it will extend the auction another 30 seconds. This does two things a buyer hates; it allows the items to be bid up (I'll explain more) and it eliminates the ability to scroll on in the list of items that are ending next. Browsing items by "ending soonest" is no longer a viable option as each page might have 1 item that is going on and on for its 30 second extension and the next page may be the same, or refresh and have you miss several pages of ending items. In my first mention of items bidding up; I was watching an item that was at $1 from Bidder1, Bidder2 bid $2 in the last few seconds, as well as Bidder3 bidding $3 in the last seconds. What would have happened a week ago is that Bidder3 would have won for $3. However what really happened is Bidder1 came back and increased his bid, then Bidders 2 and 3 bid as well. Bidder3 stopped at $5. Bidder2 bid it up $1 at a time, extending the auction 30 seconds each time until it got to $51. Bidder1 had apparently set a $50 max. If Bidder1 had initially bid $5 max, he would have won it on the old system via auto proxy bid or he would have lost to Bidder3 with $3. However now Bidder2 is paying $51 +15% +LocalTax, Roughly $63 on an item that probably wasn't described correctly and or is damaged, missing pieces, etc. The item (Trampoline net kit) was $60 new on amazon anyway. Overall, they probably will not change their system back to the old way because this makes them way more money. I hope it causes them more headaches though. I hope they get more calls, more returns, more complaints overall. Its the bidders/buyers that lose in this scenario. Just know that all items on NellisAuction.com was damaged or returned for some reason. Even if it looks new.

My last pick up at 3 locations of a bunch of things was terrible, almost everything was either damaged or different than what I thought I was bidding on. And what’s the point of having a specific time bidding ends if Nellis just keeps adding more time?? Lately the items purchased have been 👎🏻 but this adding time garbage is a load, and it will definitely deter me from dealing with Nellis Auction. To be fair, the people at the pick up sites are always so nice😇

Nellis Auction recently sent out notice to all customers about a change in bidding. What I get out of this change is basically "stretching rules" so they are no longer rules. In the auction, I knew when it would be closed. I paid attention and bid accordingly. I would adjust my final bid knowing I was taking a chance. Now, rules are out the door! I pay attention, and then boom! Somebody at the last second extends the game? I see this only and mainly as a ploy or strategy to increase bids and profits for your company. No other reason.....for my "enjoyment"?! Really? I am very leery of this change, and I for one, am done with your site. Look at my history.... I have spent a lot of money with you folks. I had been very VERY happy with the whole process. Now, I have no illusions.....you'll read this, maybe agree, maybe not...but you guys will continue on....and I hope successfully, but I will no longer participate. I have one pick up and that is the last. Good luck. P.S. Pay attention to social media. I wonder if this will reverberate in a negative or positive fashion. I guess we'll see.
