Has anyone ever used ArrowOutlet

Answer 1

I have - I won an iPad on my first try actually, but I know some people are not as lucky. Support was very fast - emailed me right after I won - and it was shipped that day.

It's legit and you can win some great deals here. Each item starts at $0, and each bid raises the price of the product 5 cents and adds 15 seconds to the counter. Each bid costs $0.50.

This means that if you are one of the few bidders on an auction, you can win it for just a few dollars since the timer counts down. They also have a Buy It Now feature so that the bids you use on an auction can be used for a discount if you buy the actual product. So if you spend 10 bids on an auction for a $30 item, you get a $4 discount on the item and can buy it for $26.

So overall I believe it is safe to bid on the site if you want the products they are selling. If you place a lot of bids you can still buy the product at a discount, and you won't lose any money. Their prices are very good and are pretty much the same as Amazon prices.

It's probably a good idea to start out slow and learn how to bid on the site well. Lots of veterans of the site agree about this. Learn to use the site features to master the bidding and you will do better in the long run. Then you can start bidding on more competitive auctions with bigger deals.

Long story short, you just have to be careful and watch your auctions carefully and bid responsibly.

Here are tips I found at another site:

Answer 1

To me Arrow Outlet is NOT fake because a) they are not using fake bidders and b) they actually ship the items. When I found Arrow Outlet new just like you did I watched for a while and it didn't seem like they use fake bidders. I bid on a $10 giftcard and lost, and then bid on another $10 giftcard and won it for around a buck. I got it about a week later and I was happy so I kept on bidding.

HOWEVER you have to be careful to bid carefully and responsibly (like drinking). My advice is start out with some small items so you get a feel for how the site works, learn to use the bidomatic, etc. If you bid smart you can win a lot, but you have to learn first. I started off losing and now I just won an iPad.

Here are some of my tips:

1) use bidomatic to pressure your opponent. When they see you bidding against them a lot they will back off.

2) you have to use money to make money! I spent around 200 bids to win a Wii but doggone it I won it by pushing away everyone else. if you give up then you lose the auction but if you push through you can win it.

3) start small small small. Win a keychain or flashlight first - it's cool and you won't spend as much money learning. Then you'll feel good about it and be more confident.

The rest you will have to find out yourself otherwise you, the Answers.com reader, might beat me one day ;)

Answer 2

the site gets 50 cents for each bid and raises the price by 10 cents...so they get lots of money on some items and lose money on others...in summary i don't think its a scam but like he said you should probably be careful in the beginning...my uncle got really good at bidding and won like a PS3 and iPad and tv and has an awesome living room now

ANSWER 3

The site is actually a scam. There's pretty much no way to win.

The prices are misleading and most likely you'll end up paying A LOT more than the bid price. For example, 7.02 USS is actually 351 bids which costs 175.5 dollars. So if you win that item, you actually end up paying 175.5+7.02+shipping+ (#bids/2)dollars you have done on any similar item before giving up on them. Is this even legal? I'm not sure. I wonder if legal action has been taken against this company already.

Well, I tried, but I cancelled my account and asked for a refund as soon as saw what this site was about.

I really hope consumers realize this is a HUGE trick on the American people and the world at large. Shame on you arrowoutlet.com. I hope you get closed down asap.
