Think of it like the Price Club on the Web, with a twist

by hbomb , Sep 01 '00
Pros: Wonderful prices, quality products
Cons: Product selection is not the best
After hearing about a promotion to get $100 off of a Mercata purchase I figured it was maybe time to try this site out. I'll admit that upon entry I was a bit disappointed in finding out you can't use the $100 in total unless you were buying $500 worth...

This is how it all works...

by skyth Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 05 '00
Pros: speedy; cheap prices
Cons: don't go there if you are an impulsive buyer
I have known about Mercada for quite a while, but never actually used it. Well, I was looking for a decent father's gift couple of weeks ago, and decided to visit their site.

I made my first purchage within 2 minutes after visiting the site....

Power to the People

by cyndilouwhoo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 29 '00
Pros: Solid discounts, Excellent Customer Support
Cons: Inscrutable return policies

Just a quick note to anyone reading this review: Don't bother--not that it isn't a fine review--but Mercata is no more, choked by the dot.bomb fever running rampant on the world wide web lately.

Too bad. This is one company...

Mercata offers Power Buys and More

by Bar2969 , Jan 30 '00
Pros: Group Power Buys Drive the prices down
Cons: Limited Selection
Several friends told me about Mercata and it seemed that I was reading about it over and over again on the Bargain Hunters Board on America On-Line. I finally joined up in December of 1999 and as a bonus, Mercata applied $50 in Mercata Dollars to my...

I got a $70 VCR!

by ElmoTicle , Jul 31 '00
Pros: Cheap prices!
Cons: Get addicted!
I've heard the ladies on AOL raving about Mercata forever! "I got a $2 phone card", "I got a stroller SUPER cheap", etc. So finally one night I decided to swing on by. I was shocked and impressed with what was about to happen.

A great idea, a good site

by kmennie Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 28 '00
Pros: Genuine deals, good service, nice merchandise
Cons: Must check in frequently for "powerbuy" opportunities, odd non-specialized product selection
The Mercata "powerbuy" concept is an interesting one: offer up a product and let the price drop as people sign up to buy it. This has worked well for me several times -- everything from a $20 savings on small electronics (the...

Mercata is a great money-saver

by mareneli , Jan 23 '00
Pros: great deals
Cons: can be slow
If you haven't been to Mercata, go now. You will get $25 in Mercata dollars for joining. I jumped in on this deal when it was $50 and boy, was it a great deal for me.

Mercata is one of those strange sites where they sell products in...

Top 10 reasons to shop Mercata...

by uclamates , Oct 16 '00
Pros: Great prices, powerbuys, reliable company, promotions, and rebates.
Cons: Not a complete selection in each product area, powerbuys are limited to select products.
I was drawn to Mercata because of the $100 incentive for new customers. Then I found out more about how the Group Powerbuying process worked -- and I LOVE IT! I highly recommend Mercata for the following reasons:

1) Great prices -- The site...

I love this company!

by mittenskitty , Jan 31 '00
Pros: Free shipping, power buys
Cons: They do not carry every product, or brand name
This company is listed in the wrong place, they sell much more than jewelry. I got to their link from a posting on another board. The post said free $25 for first time shoppers. I signed up. I didn't read the small print, it said the $25 could only be...

It really works -- Here's how to use it!

by bhweb22 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 18 '00
Pros: High Demand Items can Be Gotten on the Cheap
Cons: You need to Watch Carefully
Mercata is an interesting service that was founded in 1998. It is a privately funded company with backing by Paul Allen, one of Microsoft's founders.

Mercata's Power Buy service allows people to combine their demand for inventory on the web...

Mercata SAVED me $$$

by mommynew , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Save Money; Great service
Cons: PowerBuys last a few days so you have to wait to finalize your purchase
First I want to say this review is NOT jewelry related. Mercata sells a little of everything so I’m not sure why it’s just listed in this category.

Anyway, a few months ago I desperately needed a new car seat for my daughter as she had...

Great Deals

by JulesH , Jan 12 '00
Pros: $50.00 new member incentive, Powerbuys are fun!
Cons: Some inflated prices- check around before purchasing
I joined Mercata while they offered their $50.00 incentive for new members.

I really did not have very high expectations, subscribing to the "ya get what ya pay for" belief...

BUT- those 50 "Mercata Dollars"...

Save Money on Quality Products

by amynb , Mar 27 '00
Pros: Quality Merchandise at LOW cost
Cons: None
I found Mercata because a friend recommended that I try it. When I signed up, I got a free $25 to spend on things there, so all the more incentive to give it a shot.

I have ordered twice from this company, both times I have recieved a top...
