I purchased three different items from this site on the same day. It took about a month to get all three items. The products are of abysmal quality and none actually work. Don't waste your money.
This an UPDATE in my original review of Tophatter. I'm pleased to say that since my original review my opinion has not wavered in the slightest - all 4 reasons remain right on target, including items arriving earlier than the stated times (a very nice bonus)!
And now I'll add a 5th reason: Searching for items: I recently saw an item I wanted to buy but was unable to get in to the bidding quick enough. But seeing the search tool I entered the item's name and came up with the item. The buy now price was very reasonable so I clicked on it and its been shipped to me.
Often times the buy now price is the same as the full price of the item, or there is no buy now option. Tophatter always provides this option and usually at a very reasonable price.
Reason #1: Auctions are finished within a couple of minutes instead of days - no delays, you either win it or move on.
Reason #2: You don't pay to place bids, you only pay the bid price (+ shipping) if you win. No hidden charges or fees.
Reason #3: Many of the items are from TV commercials, but for less than the TV prices. Can't beat that!
Reason #4: Shipping hasn't been a problem. While maximum time has been listed, so far all of the listed items have smashed the stated times by several weeks. Example: a tactical flashlight was listed as due by March 22nd, but it arrived February 24th.
I Have used Tophatter several times in the past 6 months. Have found some really cool stuff to bid on and bought some things for Christmas presents. Will continue bidding on this sight.
What you get is what you want, Exactly what was described and pictured.
I am very pleased. Received all items when told they would be there.
I'm wearing for 2 days /because I received 2 days ago/ and not make my skin dirty. So I'm very happy. Thanks

Good and quick services, any response is quick. Unfortunately the products are at lower end quality. However, the prices are matching with quality.

Its easy to say how much I enjoy buying on line with TOPHOTTER and its easy to say how good the customer services are but I want more
More lines and better quality lines in fact I'd go as far to say a TOPHOTTER PLUS site introducing a higher value and quality auctions
No one has split product auctions on line this way and customers like me want to have the concept of bidding continued for items at around $25 and upwards
As I said MADE FOR THE WEB

I went so crazy at first,, My Bank Called me to make sure I wasn't
''Hacked'' Ha. I loved it all. But beware of what you are buying first and then go after it all... I like the Tophatter online Helper's and proved to be great help. Know their stuff... Sellers have proven to be shipping right away and product has been what they advertise. Copy, Silver Clad, are key words I had to learn. Now ok with it. Great Gifts already packing up for Birthdays, and Christmas for 2018 Which is already Fun and ahead of the game... Go for it Y'all! Lewis Myer Brookings, OR

I love the app. They have excellent prices. The delivery is a little long. If you love shopping this is definitely the app for you.
I have used Tophatter for several purchases. One situation was very difficult. I won seeds for planting in the garden. Unfortunately the seeds when shipped were unmarked in a small plastic zip bag. There was no paperwork enclosed to identify them or give planting or germination instructions. I had to go back and do research and try to determine of all the seeds I had ordered from various companies, which these were! I finally located them, printed out the photo of the flowers, and the instructions. Those should have been included and I fault the seller for that. I won't know the freshness of the seeds or accuracy of the order, until they grow and bloom. All other purchases from the site have been great.
Answer: There is also the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION that can help with these types of problems
Answer: You have to read the descriptions. It will tell you if it's real or plated.
Answer: Do not deal with this company,,, all jewelery is crap n cheap
Answer: Tophatter will screw you over. Shop Amazon or overstock.
Answer: Good luck! Tophatter rippes off the sellers so they are not going to be very likely to return your money.
Answer: Justin you are absolutely correct. I find out the hard way. I had my own auction with nice AUTHENTIC designer items and cosmetics (Becca, Cargo, Smahbox, Too Faced, etc). I lost big time. $40 Cargo palette sold for $10; it cost me $15. Items that I started higher to cover my cost never sold. I still had to pay fees for the item being listed. A $200 Calvin Klein purse sold for $20; it cost me $80 wholesale. Run!
Answer: If you end up buying a few items from the same seller they can do a combined shipment but you rarely get the same buyer items since they only let the sellers sell 10 items a day. It is different for the sellers that have their own auctions.
Answer: You will notice the same names no matter the day, time etc. Bidding against you very often. Is it a coincidence? Personally I don't believe in coincidences.
Answer: Depends on what you are selling. Yes, a lot of items go unsold in the jewelry and accessories categories... as well as others. Coach and Michael Kors and other designer brands, not much goes unsold, because here's the catch - - you pay fees on the starting bid. TH wants everything to start at $1. So you get punished if you start higher as to not get screwed by a low purchase price. Say you buy a designer bag for $120. If you start that bag at $100, you're already paying over $10 in fees. **IF** you can manage to sell it for a profit, there are still the commission and bank fees. If you start it at $1, you're barely paying any listing fees but it might only sell for $80 (or less!). So, less fees, but you lost your ass on the item. It's messed up. Most sellers have put in their time to see if they can make a profit or to see if TH will change, but they all seem to end up leaving. I'm convinced the only ones who stay to sell there are the counterfeit or crappy quality sellers who are buying items for next to nothing, because that seems to be the only way to make a profit there these days. I would go the ebay route if you're looking to sell.
Answer: Yes! Sale of counterfeit items is prohibited. If you are concerned about the authenticity of an item purchased on the platform, you may return it for up to 30 days from delivery. See full details on our return policy here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.
