To be honest, I had already written a review on First Auction, but after further experience I no longer agreed with my original opinion, so I deleted it. It has taken a little while to decide if I should write a new one or not. I came to the conclusion...
Pros: Nice stuff at a decent price. Cons: Don't always get the product you won your bid on.
I started using Firstauction.com about 3 months ago. I was impressed by their clearance section and the prices that you can get some of the items at. Soon I found out I was WRONG!!
Pros: Good products, Good service. Cons: Poor website performance. They are working on it.
Here is another service I tried out just to get Spedia points. Hmm, I still don't have those points either! (See my review on Captain Cooks Casino at Read the full review
Pros: quality name brand merchandise, usually new, buy from a company rather than an individual Cons: must have credit card to bid, no international shipping, must bid on multiple units to get priority, overtime auctions
Well, maybe. It depends what you are looking for and where you live.
FirstAuction differs from auction sites such as EBay in several important ways.
First, you can’t sell anything on the FirstAuction site. FirstAuction...
Pros: The thrill of bidding Cons: the agony of the bill
I spent many hours and many more dollars at First Auction last year for Christmas. I absolutely love auctions. The thrill of winning an auction is euphoric. They have sale pages and the auctions start at $1.00, what's more tempting than this? ...
Pros: great for impatient bidders Cons: tempted to spend all your money shopping with them
Hate waiting on the results of your online bid? First Auction has your answer.........Flash Auction. This is a great concept. At the top of each hour (20 times a day), there is a flash auction which lasts for 30 minutes. There you get to bid on great...
Pros: If you bid, you'll probably win Cons: You'll probably get sacked with hidden charges, and if you have to call customer service, good luck!
I needed furniture, but wasn't planning on buying it over the net because I knew shipping costs would be horrible. But when I got an e-mail about FirstAuction.com advertising a one cent shipping sale on sofas and loveseats, I checked out their...
Pros: New items, reliable, some great bargains Cons: none so far
I first discovered First Auction several months ago when they were offering $10 off a winning bid of $50 or more through ebates.com. Since then I've been hooked!
Unlike eBay and similar auctions, First Auction is a company so your purchases...
Pros: Flash Auctions, Still undiscovered so prices are great Cons: Refurbished merchandise
I discovered First Auction through onee of those annoying banner ads. Luckily, this is one click I am glad that I made. First Auction is another one of those wonderful Internet Auction sites but it has a different flare or two...
Pros: reasonable prices, sends product in a timely manner, easy to navigate Cons: No customer service (February, 2000)
First auction seems to have reasonable prices, sends the product in a timely manner, and is easy to navigate. BUT, you better have the desired shipping address on your form if you win - cause you can't change it after you win!!! I found this to be an...
Pros: Great deals on the Flash Auctions Cons: Poor customer service.
As both a buyer and a seller I have a solid perception of the various auction sites and their different formats. I've used all of the major ones and many of the smaller ones and can generally tell you which sites have the better deals on certain...
Pros: Quality name brand merchandise, shipped very quickly, instant e-mail of your
winning bids. Cons: None that I have found
I purchased several items from FirstAuction for Christmas presents and was very pleasantly surprised with their fast response and quality merchandise. The purchases I made ranged from jewelry to large, heavy tools for my husband, and everything was...
Pros: Easy to bid, easy to win, sometimes works ok. Cons: Fraudulent practices. Hard to get items.
March 10, 2001
After bidding and winning a number of items through their auction site I began to receive notifications that certain items I had won were "...found damaged or defective..." and these orders were canceled by FirstAuction.
...
Pros: you can bid on gourmet food items Cons: a lot of low quality junk mixed in with some okay items, high starting bids
I don't get this site. Obviously other epinions members have used and liked this auction. I was motivated to place a bid--any bid--to earn money through Cybergold.com. However, I went to www.firstauction.com and could find NOTHING that I wanted to bid...
Pros: Clearance page holds some OK deals. Cons: Long delays in shipping, no follow-through on customer service.
I've ordered twice from FirstAuction.com. The first item was bid on and "won" a month before Christmas. My credit card was charged within a week, but I did not receive the product by Christmas. I called customer service, who said it had been shipped...
