WineBid

After 45 minutes of slow to no loading for me, now it’s working great again. I can’t decide if I want to bid on the bottles I’ve been watching, or if I want to see how this week plays out. I don’t want to end up frantically loading and reloading like I was last week, unable to check on the bottles I bid on.

I typically bid and forget about it. If I win, great. If not, there will be more wine somewhere.

Just wanted to check the bids. It’s working for me now too. After zero action the past few weeks, I put in a bid and now people are getting involved. I’m not going any higher so probably will lose this

I was wondering if the site was being ornery just on my phone. Guess they’ve got some persistent issues.

Lightning fast for me so far. My rep said they were having issues the last few weeks because theyre seeing higher volumes of traffic than ever before.

I’ve noticed it gets weird at certain times. Consistently buggy after auctions and early AM in my experience

No issue here.

That’s interesting. I would’ve thought Covid lockdown area would’ve been their peak era.

I think thats when they were really starting to invest and capture market share.

Just got my appraisal back and it exceeded my estimate by 10%, so that’s positive

If you think some of the bottles are undervalued they will let you do a temporary increase in price.

Mostly in line with my estimates but a little over on some, which is fine. We will see how it all shakes out.

Site is totally inoperable for me. If I was a seller, I would be upset.

Been pretty bad for about the last 30 minutes. I find it hard to believe its simply about some amount of more users than normal. And even then, what’s driving the new traffic?

Are you guys on the web site or the app? App seems pretty smooth for me.

something seems to have changed, I’m getting outbid on items that have been languishing for weeks, price has been dropping and now bids are back where it was a few weeks ago :person_shrugging:

Typical private equity roll up. Raise revenue by increasing prices and decreasing service.

Website working fine for me. FWIW I’m a seller these last few weeks and although glitches aren’t ideal, stuff happens and my bottles are still moving.

It’s jacked right now. So hit or miss.

I’ve never used the app and no interest. It was the website. It eventually came back but it was toast for 30-45 minutes.

Did they recently get bought by a private equity firm?

This is the way.

When I “lose,” I got to have the fun of shopping without spending the money and adding to my overstuffed storage.
