Nellis AuctionReviews of nellisauction.com

I got some great deals initially, but have had several issues with items. Items clearly damaged and pieces missing when stated 5* condition. With the recent bid extension change, I won’t purchase again. I don’t even bid until the last minute, because bidding early just drives up the price. Last minute bidding is totally fair and even eBay does not interfere with the bid process. Good luck, NellisAuction….I hope you retain the customers who are novice bidders. Serious and experienced customers are gone.

I was happy with all the purchases I won in the past several months UNTIL tonight as their auction practice changed and even the items are won the clock reset for another 30 seconds for several times to give other bidders a chance to bid against you "won" bid. This new process is unfair and unjust to the bidders who won their bids. My friend had worn me earlier that it happened to her yesterday when she placed her bid and won. I won't place any more bids until Nellis Auction remove their extended 30 seconds rule. I hope Nellis Auction realize this is not the right way to treat your bidders. Very Disappointed Bidder.

This is such BS. Nellis is hiding behind "customer complaints" to drive up revenue, bottom line. People don't go to you site to spend money, they go to see how much they can save off retail. The truth is this is an online auction not a live auction. It has an end time which you are basically saying, "Well if you want to pay more we will give you an extra :30 seconds to win your bid" when if they had just bid their max in the first place then maybe they would have out bid the person who beat them from the start. Like I said. I'm done. Won't be using your site. Cancel any pending wins.

I give 2 stars only because I have had a few good purchases, other than that, I have had to return many items because they simply don't work and/or are broken or missing parts. They list almost everything as new but they are not. They are mostly returned items from Amazon and other retailers. They are returned for a reason, most of them because they don't work. If the items are electronic or mechanical you can expect them not to work, most of the time. It used to be better but now it's terrible. I simply just stopped shopping with them.

Overpriced "Estimated Retail" price indicators. I am new to the site and haven't won anything. The few things I find interesting have "estimated retail" prices about 20% over what I could actually buy at retail. Today, I came across an item that was 12x "estimate" over what it retails for elsewhere. At the time of me writing this, the highest bidder was actually 50% over retail, and even if he wins at that price, will probably walk away feeling like he got a good deal. What a joke.

About half of the things I purchased were missing parts or didn't work. They have a closing time but don't adhere to it. I had the bid when the auction closed but they allow late bids to win. Not at all honest and fair.

DO NOT purchase anything that requires assembly. Have purchased 3 different items, at different times with 5 stars that were missing more than half the parts. Items purchased that did not require assembly have worked for the most part. In general, it’s a rip off.

Sometimes you will get a great deal but be aware that most of the items for auction are items that people have returned to Amazon or other retailers because they didn't work or were missing parts or they just weren't satisfied with the item, Also the pictures and descriptions Nellis uses are most often stock photos from Amazon and not necessarily the item your actually receiving, I often find that the auction items estimated retail price is sometimes higher than you could buy the item outright from other retailers. Nellis will gladly return items that can be re-auctioned Do your due diligence and have fun.
