"I was going back and forth on whether I should get a new grey market Canon 6D or take my chances on a used one since I plan on also purchasing an "L" lens. Through Greentoe I was able to get a new USA body for the price of a grey market! Registered with Canon and already put in my pre-claim for my rebate"
"I got a great deal! The product was out of stock due to supply chain issues, but I got it sooner than expected. "
"My offer was accepted and I was charged for the item but it was not in stock. Why would they accept my offer and not have the product in stock?"
"Looks snazzy when you open it, but then you have to go from page to page to page providing information. Just data mine on the front end then serve a customer on the back end is my recommendation."
"Got instantly accepted. Now just need to wait and see"
"There is much yet to see as this transaction goes forward, but it got started with a great start based on price alone."
"Ended up with a great deal and fulfillment of the appliance way quicker than what I was being quoted elsewhere. Would've liked better communication on the ETA of the product since it was backordered, but can't complain about the outcome."
"Found a great price on a cook top and was excited to get it ordered. After ordering, it took about 2 weeks to even process my order then another week to ship it. It arrived very well packaged and was as promised. Other than the shipping delay, I was pleased with my purchase. "
"Item arrived within a reasonable window and for a reasonable price, though when I reached out to the retailer about when the order would be shipped, they were not able to look it up in their system using the order confirmation I got from DiscountBandit. Instead, the vendor had to look it up by the name on the order. The shipping confirmation was issued the next morning. This feels like an area for potential improvement as far as vendor/broker communications. Setting appropriate expectations about when the vendor is likely to ship might add to first-time-customer confidence, if that information is available (e.g. ”This vendor typically ships their products within x number of business days”, or something to that effect)."
"All too often I get a response that says my offer is too low, even though I find the product at only ~20% difference than my offer. Or I'll get a counteroffer that's higher than what I can already get the item for.
I've even provided screenshots for the pricing I was seeing, and it doesn't make any difference.
The vendors seem to go off of retail price, so unless there's already a massive sale at their storefront, they often don't offer the best pricing.
I still try from time to time because you never know. I have got two good deals (both on LG TV's) from this site, but nothing else has ever been successful.
If you don't want to hunt for good deals though, this is a good site to use. They do offer lower pricing than what you would typically pay at a local store so if you were going local to buy say a 2000 TV, this site can save you some money. But, if you actually look around for better deals you can typically find better pricing elsewhere, it just takes a little more effort. So, decide what's more important to you, time or money.
A good example would be my most recent experience. I put in a bid for a @2000 TV that was on sale direct from the manufacturer for $1000.
I put in a bid on greentoe for 900, to see if they could beat the price. They sent me a counteroffer of $1,249. An online retailer was selling the TV for $1,300 at the time. Plus, I would have got cash back if I bought it there, so the pricing was a wash.
But all that said, if time is more important, then go greentoe. If money is more important, you might want to look around."
"Best price put there for my TV. Looking forward to the delivery."
"More than $200 off amazon price. New product. Authorized retailer. What's not to like."
"Just stumbled upon this site and thought I'd give it a try. Don't know if my offer is accepted yet, but it's a great concept. Only "complaint" right now is the lettering on the website needs to have more contrast. Parts of it are very hard to read, even after adjusting the brightness of my screen."
"Simple and straight forward experience"
"Got a good deal. Shipping company was a bit slow but overall happy. "
"Unfortunately, I'm getting the same offer from the same seller. I wish there was more competition so that I could get lower prices."
