Advantages: Reliable site, supported by big name sauch as Barclaycard

Disadvantages: Nothing inn particular

This site is based upon the premise that the more people who want to but an item, the cheaper it should be. This makes good sense but usually it is difficult to get 100 of your friends interested in the same thing as you. But - use the internet to to find enough people who want to but the same thing and hey presto! - you have a bargain. Well, to be honest, I've never used it for a significant purchase. I have used it to buy 2 adult cinema tickets for two pounds and to but two Domino's pizzas - again for two pounds. On both occasions the purchasing was easy. You just use the online site to say you are willing to pay the lowest price if sufficient people take part. On both these occasions, enough people did and the deal was obtained for the lowest price. The price paid included VAT and delivery and the vouchers were posted to me (I used the pizza voucher last weekend - very tatsy too!).
If I were interested in a major purchase I would certainly check this site out. They always have a range of things on the go but it is difficult to comment on whether the price they are willing to pay is a real bargain. If the pizza and cinema tickets are anything to go by, then they should be.
The site is pretty easy to navigate and it is secure. The tickets were posted within a reasonable a few days of the deal closing so I will certainly use them again.
