FRIST AND LAST TIME BIDDING WITH CHARITYBUZZ, BIDDERS BEWARE, I buy many things from auction companies in new york and california, but a horrible experience with charitybuzz, I went to register everything seemed cool, I got an email from Charitybuzz that i'm registered I gave them all my information my credit card, I then contact my credit card company and make sure that they did a acquiry Charitybuzz did, As far as I know I was registered and good to go, I have a few friends that are musicians And they donate a few items to many charities of their choice, To make a long story short, I go to bid on this wonderful guitar great brand the artist extremely talented guitarist,The charity is going to a well known comedian his foundation, So i'm like i'm in even though i've heard a few things to my friends that won It had problems with charitybuzz, I like the guitar and artist I said go forward, I checked out the lot. It was strange the bid was way too low for that artist signed and donated the guitar! It's at $850 Less than a few hours to go,So I bid $950 It registers my bid It didn't show me the other bitter.It just said next bid strange so I bumped it up to $1100, As far as I know I should have won I was the highest bidder!!! I don't hear anything from them That was strange usually from other auction companies. It tells me I won and Then they contact Me with an email, So I decided to email them, I get an email back from scott From charitybuzz in new york hes said they never heard of my registration. And they gave the item to the other bidder, But yet I was bidding on the item As the beds increased, Charitybuzz scott They're sorry that this happened but it's strange, Everything was in the clear But yet it went to a bidder who did a lower bid than mine! A few of my friends have Have won a few lots from charitybuzz, They said they've had problems be careful, But I didn't listen I thought that I was doing a good thing for a great charity but you have to be careful, That they are doing business this way They have extremely high hidden fees for a charity organization, Basically you need a microscope.You need to read the fine small print that you really can't see, BIDDERS PLEASE BEWARE OF CHARITYBUZZ................

A first class experience Immediately after winning the auction, I was contacted with the next steps and follow up person to secure my item. I feel confident that your organization is true to its word and first class!

Appreciative Georgian I am a frequent user of Charitybuzz. I figure that Uncle Sam is going to take my money, so it is best to get to do unique things or to get unusual items, especially if it benefits charity; therefore, it becomes a win-win situation. I have found the Charitybuzz staff to be most helpful, especially if donors seem to be dragging their heels on redemptions. Keep up the great work!

Great fun but read all the guidelines and rules I would tell people to make sure and read the conditions of sale before bidding. There is nothing unusual, but for a first-time buyer, I didn't know about the buyer's premium which could put your budget out of range. Overall Charitybuzz does a great job with keeping you informed of your bid and that monies do go to a good cause.

David Cook Meet and Greet Pop2000 Tour We had an incredible experience - over and above what we expected or referenced in the experience bid on. David was a fantastic host - spending time meeting with us before the show (approx 1/2 hr) and then offering us backstage passes to watch his set from the side stage. People behind the scenes were just as accommodating, showing us where the best place to watch from and offering us refreshments. After David's set we were told we could stay and watch the other acts from the side stage. What a great way to see a show from the artist's perspective. An unforgettable experience.
