Do any of you?

Goto Bidz.com?

I just found it today and I must say I have been kinda going nutts on that site. Bought one mens bracelet value $159 and I got it for 9 bucks.. Got another mens bracelet value $299 and I got that one for 12 bucks.. Seems like a pretty good deal to me! If you don't like it you can return it all and get your money back. Hell if I don't like it go get the actual value checked and pawn the thing.


EDIT: $370 Titanium ring.. 20 bucks! heh


Just curious if any of you buy from there. I made my 3 buys for the day, Now I need to be done for a bit!

Pretty cool but I wonder if its a scam? Like is the shit on there really worth as much as they claim or is it just a bunch of generic shit that they say is high quality.

Re: Do any of you?

My mom has bought a few things on there and my mom is a pretty big critic on jewelry. She says its pretty decent stuff.. I'll update here once the stuff gets here.

Not bad,
$9 bracelet
$12 bracelet
$20 ring
$8.95 shipping for it all
Shipped out the door $49.95 for all! For a $828 value! (supposed value)

Well, The way I see it is the mark up on that stuff is so high.. Some of the stuff goes for a lot higher.. Check the more expensive items. People are on there spending thousands of dollars on items. Yes.. I will agree, The place is VERY addicting!

If that stuff was worth more at a pawn shop or jewler then that is where they would be selling it.

Re: Do any of you?

Any word on this stuff? I was thinking of getting something for the old lady, but I don't want some crappy stuff. They do have some killer prices even on the certified stuff though!

Re: Do any of you?

Stuff just came today, It isn't top quality but I am happy with it. I am keeping the one on the left and selling the ring and the bracelet on the right. I just ordered necklace for the woman. 10 or 14K gold with my sons birthstone in the center. Valued at 200 bucks I think, Got it for 25 bucks I think. I will post it up once that gets here. I am also taking this stuff to Kay or Zales or something to see what they think it is worth. Then off to the pawn shop! heh

Re: Do any of you?

Not saying you didn't get a good deal on some stuff, but ever heard "something is only worth what someone will pay for it"? Notice how the titanium ring isn't pure titanium? The stock they make that out of, if titanium, is probably worth half what you paid, so I doubt it's 100%. No different than 10 karat vs. 18 karat gold.

If you get the stuff and are satisfied, then great, but I wouldn't believe when they say you are paying 10% of it's value...

Re: Do any of you?

Re: Do any of you?

I don't think a titanium ring would be worth even half of the 529 price tag if you went somewhere looking for it.
