Bin Stores in Cincinnati, Ohio

"Went on a whim in lieu of thrift shopping; was actually cheaper than a thrift store and had more stuff that I would be interested in than any usual thrift store. Mostly new, it seemed. Mostly smaller items (I’d imagine days where they have the most stock is also days with the biggest items). I was politely greeted when I walked in. I got a leather phone case for $2, that would usually sell for $20 on Amazon. I didn’t pay attention to the big “do NOT open packaging” sign, so when I opened it to try it on, an..."

"Reviews about the owner being Angry are very valid. Have had several instances with the owner being disrespectful so I could give him the most amount of my money on a weekly basis. The tipping point for him today is when he had a 10 lb product sitting in a ripped open, broken bag of seram wrap thick plastic. I took it over to the box opening station to get it into better box or bag before it continued to get destroyed. I couldn’t even look up before the owner who follows me around every Saturday said I’m disrespecting the..."

"Well I spoke my mind on their Facebook page and they blocked me. Well if the truth hurts then so be it. But just FYI that why we live in the United States we have freedom of speech. I am allowed to voice my opinion: but all I was stating to customers is when you go in there and you pick up a pair of shorts that are twin on a hanger for 6.00 you assume that it is to find that you get to the cashier to find that they want to charge you 6.00 a pair and the..."

"I stopped in before Christmas and they have a large selection. I love the fact they have a table set up for employees to open unknown items so you know what it is and want it or not. This way people don't open packages and items get lost in the mix. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will for sure be back and hope to stop in this week. I found some really nice things for my son for Xmas and his bday that's new yrs day. I got a large pack of reusable sesame st. Straws with..."

"Staff is nice. Not many large items or of value items to bid on at the Amelia and now Broadwell locations in Ohio. I see many people winning items for more than what the retail store price would be. The bin store at Broadwell usually has better items than the Amelia Bin store. Too bad the Broadwell location will be closing in this month, March 2026."

"I typically love BidFTA, but this time I won an “as is” mini refrigerator and it’s completely useless. I’m fully aware of the risk of “as is” items, but I was expecting cosmetic damage or a broken piece of plastic inside (based on the photos). My experience with “as is” items has been acceptable in the past. Not this time! The refrigerant line is completely busted and separated from the motor/condenser unit, leaked refrigerant all over my floor, and has my house smelling like melted and burnt plastic (still, after 8 hours). We had to unplug it and take it..."

"My issues are with the Broadwell location. As a first time bidder, I didn't know how other proper locations run. I went to pick up many items I won, to be told by the woman at checkout that I could not leave without all my items as I had items in auctions that were actively ending while I was there. I told her I had somewhere to be and would come back tomorrow to get the rest of my items. She told me I would not be able to get those items if I left. I waited and finally got..."

"The manager (male) is a total jerk. I arrived and had 2 minutes until closing to grab one item. People were still in line checking out. I get inside at 5:59 and it had just hit 559 And the manager comes trotting after me, talking about their closed when I was close to the aisle, where my item was and literally about to grab it And he told me I could not get my item. I said I would already be in line checking out with the other people if you hadn’t stopped me with all this BS. I said..."

"New/Like New: Item is complete*** and functional. New/Like New items often originate from shelf pulls or overstock. AKA PARTS MISSING. I didn’t see not one person open a box and count parts. But apparently we are ALL supposed to before leaving. Because no refunds. This is why I’d rather buy msrp priced stuff you get a warranty and you can return it. And it never has parts missing after they label it “new” Left work early wasted about 5 hours of my life. Wasted the cash on the item. Whole day a wash. Missed out on probably $100 at work..."

"Staff: Worst & lazy staff. Place: Completely disorganized and filthy smell around the warehouse. Not clean and disgusting place. Product: After reaching home and checking, my item was damaged (that wasn't actually as per the bidfta image on the website). I believe it should have been mishandled by their useless stupid staff after clicking the photograph and uploaded for auction. Waste of my time and hard earned money. Checkout: The young lady was just sitting on her chair and asked me to bring stuff near her foot to picture it and scan the bar code. She didn't even bother to..."

"Finding my item was easy enough. The employees are friendly. I will start this review by readily admitting I know how this all works and I could have checked the product before bidding. The single BidFTA picture did show the product not in a box but it was blurry and only showed the front face of the grill. Again, I could have checked before bidding. However, it was marked “As Is” and I am perfectly ok with getting an item slightly banged up or something that was used once and returned or something like that. Per BidFTA’s FAQ page “We..."

"The most disappointing business evolution I’ve ever seen. How can you take something that was so great and completely obliterate it? 5+day auctions for items that MSRP under $100? Reposting for weeks when you claim the item sold, reusing wharehouse photos that are supposed to be “accurate descriptions”, no more listing broken and missing peices, max bids completely disappearing, bot bidding to drive up prices falsely do the you really think consumers are that stupid? Charging full bid cost for non pickups? If you’re truly that greedy as a business, why wouldn’t you simply sell pallets to resalers as liquidation..."

"Items easy to find and as described. We did shop the bin sale and think the food should be in separate bins or on a pallet like the pop and water. By the time people dig through the bins the cereal, pretzels are all broken. You are missing out on sales."

"Yesterday, January 26, this location showed online as open from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. There was no email or notification indicating that the location was closed. Online, it clearly showed as open, so I went around 4:00 PM to pick up my items. When I arrived, the location was completely closed. The lot had not been touched, and there was a woman stuck in the snow with one person trying to help her along with his family. I stepped in and helped, and we were able to get her out. This entire situation could have been avoided if someone..."

"I just recently started bidding and buying from here. I am learning really quick to open boxes before checkout or before walking out the door. I bought a new/like new item that was supposed to have both valve covers for a engine. Opened the box and it only had 1 valve cover in it 🤦😏. …"

"The people are friendly. It was well organized. But since they changed the conditions of being able to get a refund on things they are showing very, very poor customer service. I understand that it’s my fault for not reading the update of conditions, but for things to be sold good condition then it should be good condition. You should be able to use that item. If it is an electronic it should turn on if it is a something that’s glass or a mirror It should not be broken. If it is furniture the wood should not be split...."
