I recently won an auction on Sam’s Club, on my first time bidding. I’ve had a Sam’s Club membership for a couple of years now but hardly ever go there or use it. I don’t pay the membership because it is the second card to my parent’s account so they use it more than I do and pay the fee.

I’ve been shopping for a new TV because I am moving to a new apartment and the TV I currently use is my roommates. I happened to be browsing Sam’s club looking for TV’s when I happened upon the auction link. I have never heard or seen this feature before so was a little intrigued. There were a lot of things going for decent prices and a lot that were selling very close to their normal price.

I scanned the pages for a good 30 minutes, when I happened to see a TV in my price range and the size I wanted. I looked on other websites to compare prices and it normally went for $500.00 and the current bid on Sam’s club was only $350.00I bid $351.00 thinking there was no way I would win. But to my surprise 40 minutes later I got an email saying I was the winner. It was really surprising to win especially on my first time bidding. I now tell everyone about the auction feature on Sam’s and cannot wait to get my new 42” Vizio that I got for $150 off!

After shipping and tax the total came to $407 which is still a great deal.
