Nitra Posted April 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2007 This site seems to have some okay pricing, but you have to know what you are bidding on. It goes fast, some stuff is only up for like 5 min and then it is gone. Kinda fun.. I have not bought anything yet but I like to sit and watch the prices..

Nitra Posted April 21, 2007 Author #2 Share Posted April 21, 2007 OMG this site is going to be addicting. I went to some of the better stuff and it is up like 20 min. When it gets down to the last few seconds the bids go insane, if someone bids within the last 15 seconds it kicks it back up to 15 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedQueen77 Posted April 21, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Nitra, you're killing my budget here! :D I've been sitting for about 10 minutes and looking and now I want to BUY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted April 21, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted April 21, 2007 hehehe... I know! I had to close it before I went nuts. I bid on a few things but then they got out of my range. I finally shut the window... I can see now that site is going to be very tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INSIDERS CABIN Posted April 21, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Exactly K sharpe! But i only play quarters! Wow-how do you find these sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted April 21, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I got it in an email from another thing I belong to called Mypoints. You get points for just visiting websites, shopping online etc, and then can redeem them for gift certificates etc. I got 5 points for visiting that site and get 10 points for every dollar spent. Yes it goes on like that constantly. I have to watch out cause it gets down to those last few seconds and you just keep clicking more and more.. LOL it is rather fun.

BaileyandBella Posted April 21, 2007 #9 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Are the items sold by individual sellers like eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted April 21, 2007 Author #10 Share Posted April 21, 2007 No it is a retail site basically. I just won a necklace and ring I believe.. LOL It showed I won but then it is not in my items.. gonna give it a few more and see. Spent a whopping 25 dollars total!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyandBella Posted April 21, 2007 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2007 You do really need to know your prices, I can even see some of the crappy stuff from my computer monitor...LOL. But they do have some cute CZ and silver stuff. I starting looking around the site and they do have different vendors. Their "compare at" prices are too funny. Thanks for my newest addiction :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INSIDERS CABIN Posted April 21, 2007 #12 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Thanks, Nitra--isn't mypoints something the airlines sign you up for? seems to me i recall doing that then getting bogged down in the questions....now i see i should have stuck with it--could be another fun online habit like zappos!

Plant Posted April 21, 2007 #13 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Interesting site, but the "compare at" prices are too funny, as lovemythreeguys said :eek: ! I saw a Murano necklace very similar to one I bought onboard Sun Princess for $20.00. The "compare at" price was $249.00! If you find something you love, that's great :) , but don't expect it to appraise for the "compare at" price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted April 21, 2007 Author #14 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I dont know about that, I joined mypoints years ago. It used to be a lot better. I used to get some jewelry from ice.com and other things, now it is mostly just gift cards for various stores. I get the Linens n things one usually. I get lots of free stuff from them.. LOL I bet I have spent about 300 dollars there in gift cards I got from mypoints. You can earn points shopping at avon.com, lancome.com, even ebay! I get points for almost everything I do. You can go to mypoints.com and just sign up. Okay I now have a necklace, 5 dollars ring 19 dollars earrings 12 dollars.. and oh crap.. I just found out I won another pair of earrings I didnt even remember bidding on! Sometimes I will bid and then go off and forget. LOL I am done!!!! I cannot keep shopping! The earrings The necklace The ring Earrings.. didnt realize I won.. 14 dollars I think I did okay, some of it not great bargins probably, but I am okay with what I paid for the items.

copper6606 Posted April 22, 2007 #16 Share Posted April 22, 2007 My husband is standing over my sholder while I write this as I just called him into the den to take a look at the beautiful new Diamond and blue sapphire ring he just purchased !!! I LOVE THIS SITE!! This does not mean that my husband loves that I found this site as I keep coming up with new ways to spend money. He says I better get off the site now, as I'm screwing him out of cruise money! p.s. Thanks again:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted April 22, 2007 Author #17 Share Posted April 22, 2007 We should share our names on there so we dont bid against each other! LOL I was eyeballing a diamond and sapphire ring but it went out of my range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitra Posted April 22, 2007 Author #19 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I was not looking at who was bidding, I just eyeball them until they get down to so many seconds, then I start bidding, if the price is still low enough.. I am cruisingmaven BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowie Posted April 22, 2007 #20 Share Posted April 22, 2007 just make sure to really look at those descriptions if you are considering a pricey piece of jewelry. All of the diamond stuff i looked at with larger stones were color enhanced and or lasered to remove flaws. both of which de-value those stones. and the compare prices are the most ridiculous things i've ever seen, a 4.5 carat diamond that is color enhanced AND lasered, compare at over $170,000! LMAO:eek: and some poor schmuch bought it for about $14,000! wasn't worth half of that, and even less if you try to re-sell it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted April 22, 2007 Author #21 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Yea I noticed some of it went way up there. If you read the description then move to the bottom, it gives this disclaimer about how they come up with the compare at price.. LOL I am not buying anything pricey. I have bought 2 more necklaces but got them both for about 100 total. I bought them because I really liked them. I will not go over a certain price for anything. I am cheap.. LOL I like things that look nice but dang if I am paying thousands for something I cannot examine in person. Also you have to read the return policy on each item, especially if you are going to buy something for a higher price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2597 Posted April 22, 2007 #22 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Is this site for real or is there a reserve price on the jewelry? I watched some rings go for a couple of hundred dollars and the list price was in the thousands. am I missing something about how this works. anyone try bidding yet?

copper6606 Posted April 22, 2007 #23 Share Posted April 22, 2007 You really do have to be realistic about this. I am sure that my 3 C sapphire and "diamond" ring, is not really worth the price of $499.00 as listed- but for the $37.00 that I won it for ,I'm quite happy with a new peice of bling that's not breaking the bank.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlturner265 Posted April 22, 2007 #24 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Has anyone seen anything about shipping charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper6606 Posted April 22, 2007 #25 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well I was really impressed with $10. shipping for first item and $3. for every item thereafter. [thats to Canada] :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
