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.

No Change In My Review
March 8, 2018
Updated review

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.

Best Auction Site For Bidders
March 6, 2018
Previous review

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.

Tophatter made for the web
March 7, 2018

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

Mixed Experience
March 7, 2018

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.
