I started out with gift card auctions because they seemed like the easiest way to learn how everything worked. After using the site for a little while, I felt much more comfortable joining and bidding in other auctions. Now I find myself going after watches and laptops as well. There is enough variety that I usually find something interesting whenever I log in.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THESE AUCTIONS
I spent my own money purchasing bids and participated in BidSlam auctions. Based on my personal experience, I do not recommend this platform.
My biggest concern is the Rolex GMT-Master II “Batgirl” auction that I have personally been following and documenting. As of the date of this review, I have observed this auction continuing for over a month without a winner. I have screenshots documenting what I observed.
Before spending your money here, understand exactly how the system works. BidSlam states that bids are purchased in packs, one bid is used each time you bid, and every bid adds 10 seconds to the clock while the item remains locked at $1. �

Do the math. Then go look at their leaderboard and watch the bidding activity for yourself. I have watched individual usernames continue bidding on a watch listed around $15,000 through an extraordinary amount of bidding activity. Seeing the amount of activity taking place on a single watch is one of the reasons I personally became uncomfortable continuing to spend money on these auctions.
I also recently watched a viral TikTok video that claims to expose BidSlam and GalaxyBids. I watched it, and based on my own experience with this platform, I believe what the video is saying. I encourage anyone thinking about spending money here to find the video, watch it, and make their own decision.
This is my personal experience and opinion as someone who actually purchased bids and participated. Knowing what I know now, I would not spend my money on these auctions.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND BIDSLAM.

Hi Adam Price,
We respect your right to share your experience, but we do need to correct some important context and also make it clear this is not a genuine review and connected to an attempt to defraud + extort the platform.
The leaderboard referenced in your review does not show the number of bids placed or money spent on this Rolex auction. It is a platform-wide points system, with points accumulated from activity across multiple auctions and features such as daily login and more. This was explained to you directly before the review was posted.
We also believe readers should be aware of the circumstances preceding this review. You contacted our support team requesting a refund greater than the amount you had actually spent, while stating that if you did not receive the money you would publish negative content to your 2.6 million followers. After we declined to make a financial decision in response to that threat, you stated that you no longer wanted the money and subsequently published this review. Additionally you admitted you would exclude facts in order to extort more money.
We have retained the complete conversation and relevant account records.
You are entitled to dislike BidSlam and recommend against using it. We simply ask that factual claims about how the platform operates accurately reflect the underlying data and mechanics.
Payment choices are really useful. Card is quick, and having another option available is very convenient too.

Thank you for your review! we are aiming to add as many and reliable/secure payment options.
So, tbh I joined because I misunderstood the Facebook ad I clicked but boy am I glad I did! These deals are better than any I have come across, and, once you win, you get your item Super fast! They have a whole range of items from gift cards to gaming to luxury items like Rolex. I used to be on deal dash like all the time but now imma be on bidslam for sure!

Thanks Satin! we are glad you enjoy and always strive to do our best!
This is a must join auction. Not only is it fair and impartial the folks who are behind the auction are extremely professional and helpful!!
I won a Rolex submariner for an incredible deal as well as had the opportunity to have the watch hand delivered in NYC.
I highly recommend joining in as you will not be disappointed with the fun and excitement offered.
Shout out to Galaxy Bids for a wonderful experience

Thank you! we aim to have the coolest and most up to date items the users want. Feel free to always request new ones with our customer support.
I’ve used pay-to-bid auction sites before and never had a problem. I know how these are supposed to work. Galaxy Bids is different, and the numbers tell the story better than I ever could.
I bid on a Rolex Submariner. That auction has now run NON-STOP for over a week, thats 168+ hours and counting. On this site, every bid resets the clock to 10 seconds. So for an auction to survive 168 straight hours, someone has to bid at least once every 10 seconds, around the clock, for seven days, without a single lapse.
That works out to a bare minimum of 60,480 bids. Bids cost about roughly a little under $1 each. So this ONE auction has already pulled in $60,000+ in bid fees on a watch that retails for around $14K. And that’s the mathematical floor, because most bids land before the clock hits zero. The real number is higher.
Ask yourself who does that. What group of real humans collectively burns $60,000+ fighting over a $14,000 watch, every ten seconds, for a week straight? Every loser walks away with nothing, and even the “winner” would be thousands deep in bid fees. There’s only one explanation that fits, and it isn’t “enthusiastic customers.” This isn’t an auction, it’s a slot machine that never stops spinning, and every pull costs a dollar.
One more thing: I only signed up because WatchKing NYC (Moshe) promoted this site and told people it was his own watch being given away. I’ll just leave that here and let you draw your own conclusions. I’ve drawn mine.
Save your money. Before you ever bid on a site like this, time an auction yourself and run the math above. I’ve already disputed my charges and if you’re in the same boat, I’d do the same.

Hi Leo,
We're sorry to hear you came away with this impression and that your experience wasn't what you expected. We also respect your attempt at maths, however it is worth mentioning this is quite far off, and once again our verified winners on site and across social media have posted their total spends, quite often actually far far far below the retail value. But we understand that without full context some users might get confused.
After reviewing your account, we noticed you didn't contact our support team before leaving this review. We would have been happy to answer your questions and clarify how the platform works.
Your description of the Rolex auction also appears to misunderstand what occurred. We regularly auction multiple Rolex watches, including several Submariners, and it seems you've confused different auctions that were running over different periods. You can view many of our previous winners here: https://www.galaxybids.com/winners. Multiple Rolex Submariner winners have also shared their wins publicly across our social media channels.
GalaxyBids is an interactive shopping platform with clearly published rules, not a traditional auction. Before participating, users are required to accept our Terms of Service, which explain how bids, timers, Buy Now, bid credits, and winner refunds operate. We appreciate that the format is different from conventional shopping, but we strive to make the mechanics transparent.
Regarding your comments about WatchKing NYC, we're proud to work with reputable partners who have helped many genuine customers discover our platform. We value those relationships because they are built on trust and transparency.
Finally, we note that your payment dispute did not ultimately succeed because the purchases were made in accordance with the platform terms that were accepted at the time of purchase. That said, our goal has never been to argue with customers, we'd much rather help them understand how the platform works and resolve any concerns directly.
We genuinely regret that you left with a negative impression. If you're open to it, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally, answer any questions, and address any misunderstandings. Our support team is always happy to help.

Thanks Caleb! Appreciate the honest review, always trying to make the platform more fun.
Reading the reviews tells me they are fake. This site is a scam.
I created an account. Saw a cute Coach purse. Tried to place a custom bid but they FORCE you to buy bid bundles. It literally would not let me use the custom bid feature. So they are just automatically getting at least $20 from every person. The lowest is $20. They said the buy now price was $1450 😂 The retail price of the bag that I can buy online is $450. Nice try. I guarantee this site is full of bots so you’ll never actually win. It looks like DH gate products. Beware.
I deleted my profile immediately.
Also look at the accounts promoting the site. Suspicious. This is my real experience.
All these positive reviews sound fake. Trust pilot is clearly compromised.

Hi Heather,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We have been unable to locate any completed purchases associated with your account and, based on our records, it appears you did not participate/nor ever have any account on GalaxyBids before leaving this review. Therefore it appears this likely is a false review.
We take customer trust extremely seriously and would like to clarify a few points for anyone reading this review.
GalaxyBids is a live auction platform where users purchase bid packs in order to participate in auctions. This is clearly explained throughout our website before any purchase is made. An account alone does not include bids, which is why bidding features are unavailable until a bid pack has been purchased.
We also want to address the claims regarding our products. All products listed on GalaxyBids are sourced through legitimate suppliers and partners. We do not sell counterfeit products, replicas, or items from unauthorized sources. All auctions have been completed on the platform and winners have successfully received their items.
Regarding the specific handbag referenced in your review, the Buy Now price reflects the auction's pricing structure and associated benefits available within the platform. However there is no handbag that far off retail on our site, as we keep prices very close to the market purchase price. .
We respect everyone's right to share their opinion, but we ask that reviews accurately reflect actual experiences with the platform.
If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please contact our support team directly and we would be happy to assist.
