Bid Wars 2 – Pawn Shop Tycoon

Started playing the other Bid Wars game and stumbled across this game through one of the ads. I found this game to be more interesting and engaging than the other Bid Wars game because of the storyline and missions. I barely look at the other Bid Wars game now and find myself spending hours on this one. Disappointingly, around level 14 it kind of all comes to a halt. The couple missions available are nearly impossible to achieve and it seems like no matter how many times you win bids and sell items in the pawn shop, you don’t get any further. I am on level 15 now and not much has changed. I have amounted an enormous amount of cash but seem to have nothing to spend it on. Still playing hoping to get past this rut and hopefully start getting more missions before losing interest entirely.

I play both games and I admit that the original was fun, but did get old because they didn’t seem to have large differences from one city to another. It seems like the reason to keep playing that one is to see when the large items ie. cars will appear. I enjoy this one way more and like the phone calls with the side missions. I especially like that the side missions have great incentives. Oh, I also like that you can see what the other bidders win when they outbid you. I often wondered what in the world was in their units when they profit large amounts. Funny enough my husband was the one that found these games, and I love them!!

I’ve had fun playing this game. Managed to get all the way to level 15 with $100k and nearly a full run of rare items. What I don’t like about the game is that I stopped getting missions from my original cell phone & only get missions from ppl at the college. Maybe I need to continue to see what happens once the college missions are complete, but I feel like I’m at a standstill. A college mission will say “know 2 facts about the brass comet” for example, but the game doesn’t hint where to get them. So I waste energy playing levels that won’t benefit me in finding the “mission” rare items I’m looking for. I’ve also rented 3 properties & opened Mutt’s shop. I’m waiting to buy another property at level 16, but I hope I more to look forward to than being able to rent another house & open a new auction. Game is becoming predictable.

When I try to watch an ad, weather it be for gold or to keep bargaining with someone, sometimes the screen goes black and will only show half the add and when I go to hit the x, half the screen will stay black and i'll only be able to see the left side of my game. it's getting really annoying, I've lost really rare items I've never seen bc there's nothing I can do other than close the app and go back in. As we level up you should decrease the amount of time needed for offers on objects. it's getting ridiculous to wait 2+ hours. and if you're going to give us rewards, MAKE THEM WORTH WHILE! When you're level 3 and you're gonna get $300 and one gold bar? WOW THATS GREAT! When you're level 12 and still getting the same amount of gold, cash AND rp (or whatever you call the stuff that levels you up) then what's the point? This is really disappointing.

I am enjoying the game but I can see where I’m going to abandon it pretty quickly. The game is following the model where you use up energy and then have to wait for it to refill before you can play again...unless you purchase more! I am willing to watch ads to get more energy but I’m not willing to buy it. That being said, I’m also not willing to spend more time watching ads then I am playing the game. This is a pretty standard model, and I realize developers need to get paid, but my history with this approach means I will be abandoning this game soon. If you want to keep people like me engaged have the ads provide enough energy for another round OR allow me to buy energy with in game currency.
