About Us

The main concept of NickelBids was founded in February of 2009. Our goal was to provide people with the ability to participate in the greatest auctions around the world. At the time we were competing with much larger sites and we were fairly new to the game. What set us apart from the pack was the fact that we take the extra mile to keep our customers happy.

When NickelBids launched we realized something was missing in this market, something no one had dared to offer. The latest and greatest in the Electronic Industry. Did you know that we were the first retailer to offer the iPhone for purchase online? Our customers are our most valuable asset. We continue to grow today thanks to our many satisfied customers.

Here are some facts you might not know about us.

• We are a startup based in Sherman Oaks, CA (not Silicon Valley)
• We give back to our community
• We use Eco-Friendly servers to protect the environment
• We minimize shipping material
• We do not have advertisements on our website because we believe people should promote products, not companies
• About 90% of our customers are from the US
• We drop-ship our items from locations nearest you to minimize fuel consumption
• Our website is designed to work across all major browsers, even IE7.
