Put a fork in 'em. They're done. Ever since Rakuten Shopping took over Buy.com is worthless.
Today I got an email for a faucet that was priced just reasonably enough for me to buy it. It was being sold through a 3rd party but I decided I'd give it a shot. My last order was 9 months ago. After Rakuten came in, selection and price just never seemed to measure up.
So within 5 minutes of getting their promotional email, I clicked the add to cart button and was immediately told there weren't any more faucets available. Weird... I didn't realize faucet demand was that high. So I just did a quick search and found the SAME seller selling the faucet through eBay for $30 more but with more than 800 available.
Not getting it from Buy.com/Rakuten was probably a blessing in disguise. As other reviewers have experienced, it's just not worth shopping at Buy.com when there are so many reliable, consistent choices out there.
