Is Bizrate freaking worthless or what?

I've done a few searches for products and always seem to click on their site since it is always one of the first to come up but I don't think some of those retailers are as good as the reviews indicate.

I'm specifically looking for a decent price on an espresso machine and grinder. I found Seattle Coffee Gear which seems to have a decent reputation but they don't have stock on the machine I want...nor will they have it until 02/08 according to their website. Amazon is pricey and they are always really slow to ship.

BTW-Seattle Coffee Gear did not come up on Bizrate but a couple other retailers I saw earlier did and a little searching found some pretty negative reviews of those sites. Of course, BBB is always a good idea when making purchases of over a hundred dollars IMO.

I don't like them for the simple fact that for 5+ years now, I've completed their "end of transaction" surveys about the business I just patronized and have never won a fucking dime. :|

"Rate your transaction with {insert company here} for a chance to win $1,000!!!" <-what I see

"Sorry, you didn't win dick! Try again, you fucking loser!" <--what I wind up with

Fuck Bizrate. :thumbsdown:
