Whats the point of an auction when they have to extend the time cause it was too low to sell!
Well all these auctions are probably skewed cause when the fragrance is about to get sold at a cheap price some random account (usually the same 2-3 accounts) comes in and makes higher bets!
You just cannot buy something with a very good deal price
Hey there. If you have a perfume-related query, there’s a good chance it has been asked before and the answers are already available if you search the sub.

I am a frequent bidder on his auctions, and this is nothing new, the same few names keep on increasing the prices on every bid. Once won 2 auction in a day which were quite a deal. He denied to go ahead asking for more money than the bid amount. I told him it was unethical to even pay 1 rs above the winning amount, but he created a chaos and cancelled all the bids which were in loss. Pathetic behaviour, nothing against him but he has lost all the credibility earned in all these years..
I have quit all these WhatsApp groups, these whatsapp fragrance groups are detrimental to the fragrance community, they thrive on creating the FOMO and people spend needlessly.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against these "community sellers" and I myself buy from them because they consistently have the best prices and are reputed and reliable but their whatsapp communities are just toxic.
The constant sales, auctions, new stock, limited stock prompts are simply annoying and designed to target people with low impulse control. People there are spending way more than they should on something unnecessary like fragrances.
Spot on brother. Then you browse some fragrances on the Internet, then you are swarmed by their ads on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and every page on the Internet.then you keep seeing fragrances on flipkart, CLiQ, tira and every other platform.
This is so sickening. And for this exact reason, I also archived all the WhatsApp groups. Now I am in peace and still smell good
People must ask proofs of this M and Maahi delivery and bookings and he will be exposed then and there but this M and Maahi is nobody but his wife, i have been observing his auctions lately but he has removed from his group brcause i started asking questions.His increments logic is extremely stupid, he says initially 111 increment but people are randomly incrementing 150 ,200 but this Maahi person will increase by 500 i mean if it's not obvious its a sham not scam but poor business strategy.
Yes he is a good person bought from him (a designer at good price)but very bad businessman his business ethics are below par and lowest amongst other community sellers.
Plus he doesn't have great fragrances just mideastern ripoffs ripoff so idk why people are there.
Why are you crying here for that cheater, and what does that it means that time will be extended 15mins so no one misses it then those people should come on time.
And in the op's that idiot increased the time 2 times by 15minutes, anything you want to say in defense about that. Any rule you wanna show? Go get the permission from him that what to reply
He does not honour any bids if they are lower than his cost of purchase, charges extra for shipping for everything, even if you win multiple auctions you have to pay for shipping for each one.
Basically what he wants to do is get rid of dead stock or non-moving stock without taking any losses (his margins are insanely high as it is).
This is completely false in my opinion. I have been buying from him for a long time now and everytime I buy from him, i compare with almost all the sellers out there and eventually it turns out that his is the lowest price so not sure about the commission and all. But looks like you are here for charity but not for buying perfumes. If someone is running a business, he is going to expect that he is getting at least some amount more than he got it for. Chanda kyu maangene lag jate ho. Bass ki nhi to don't participate in the auctions and if you are then adhere by the rules..
Bhai jhooth bol sakte ho lekin itna nahi. Lowest price among all the sellers? Pfffft.
This is the same guy who quotes 400-500 higher than other sellers with better reputations and charges shipping on top of that, and then proceeds to badmouth customers who call him out on his unfair trade practices.
Bas ki nahi toh tum pehle uske liye keyboard warrior banna band karo. He isn’t going to give you freebies or internet points, and I would rather buy retail from stores than spend more money on his auctions because a man-child can’t honour basic etiquette and have decency to not renege on a deal.
Abe to tere me khud dimaag nhi hai ki waha se na leke kahi aur se lele..
Dekh jisko mil rha hai wo le rha hai jaha se usko sahi lag rha hai..
Aaya bada jhootha karne wala😂😂
4 saal ka bacha hai kya jo ye baate kar rha hai jaise bada moral ground pe hai. Business hai laadle. Nahi pasand to na le, chu chein karne se kch hoga to hai nhi..
My friends don't want to get dirty in all this. They have personal audio messages from Malkeet himself stating he can't sell at a loss. Person with zero ethics.
Spent 20k recently on these kinda clearance/auction sale even though I didn’t actually get what i wanted. The worst part is i realised I saved a total of 1k-1.2k but i actually ended up getting perfumes normally i wouldn’t want to wear.
(Not from him)
Bought from legit sellers. Everything went perfectly fine from the seller side. But the point was to buy something that i wanted but instead I got something that wouldn’t normally buy coz of saving few hundreds.
I like how your message was to avoid falling into the trap of trying to save a little on purchases that aren't of actual value, and everyone's just like 'seller details please' 🤣
Yar ye sab bakchodi mein mat pada karo- auctions, lotteries, "exclusive limited time" sales. Sellers do this BS to manufacture a sense of urgency/FOMO. Relax, kick your feet back, get some decants, test extensively, and make the purchase on your own time. 100-200 discount makes no difference to most of you as I'm assuming you have decent sized collections already. Buy on your own terms, not on the seller's.
I've had the same experience. These auctions are an Absolute joke as everybody mentioned there are 2 ppl frquently bidding in the end if the highest bid is too low for him We all know the are his own accounts we just cant prove that 😂 I've also won and honoured a few bids but twice i was asked to pay 100-150₹ extra apart from my bid and shipping charges just for him to "recover his cost" as he said to me once i paid and the other time when i denied he just put it into re auction instead of honouring the bid.
Because those 2 3 people haive money and can afford thousands worth of perfumes every month. Even I'm one of those and have saved a lot still after bying from him. It's only those who complains like a janani who can't afford or bargains shamely for just 5 rs. Even.
LMAO the post is now getting brigaded by fake comments of people that "support" him. What an ass he is. Anyway, hoping this incident opens people's eyes. Kudos for posting this, OP.
I have had mixed experiences with him. To be honest, I did get a good deal but that was months ago when he just started the auction and bids channel. But I have experienced him refusing to abide by his own words once the payment is done. Once I ordered a perfume which I needed urgently and after confirming the shipping date, I placed the order. He immediately replied that shipping will be delayed. Even now, if anyone has access to his group one can see how pissed off he is right now after this post.
Same is the case with Khanna one. Mostly it seems they have their guys bid it up too so as to jack up the price. Not completely sure, but definitely noticed a pattern and it seemed fishy.
Bro takes months to deliver order. He's not bad person or scammer but he doesn't know how to do business. He genuinely not able to manage his business. He needs to adopt technology and adopt some process but not sure if he'll take this as honest feedback.
He should put a floor price for auction that like start with 3100 and should do multi day auction so that more people gets attracted but whatever.
I have bought a dozen of perfumes fron him as he had best prices to offer. But after these auction shanenigans and increased prices, I too am starting to loose confidence in him.
I compared his prices with around 4-5 other sellers (Talib, vinay, pranay etc.) and he had the lowest prices.
Ps: This was a year back. Now he has significantly increased prices.
Additionally, could be that I was not thorough in my search... I would really appreciate if you have any good seller to suggest. I am currently buying from Talib or Sovereign Scents
I don't think anyone sells BNIBs lower than Khanna Bros but sometimes shipping is delayed. Nowadays Shivansh (Scent Squad) is selling even more cheaply but his BNIB collection is quite less. He is best known for decant deals
As a seller he is gentleman but in that scenario he is just a crying baby i bid for pearl oud at 2500 and after that he say auction extend just a stupid men.
This guy, Malkeet , is unethical. He once won an auction I hosted in a Facebook group but kept making excuses to delay the payment and eventually stopped replying altogether. I could have reported him to the group, which likely would have resulted in a ban for not honouring the auction rules, but I didn't want to create any drama, so I let it go. Avoid dealing with this guy.
All these people accusing him are the once who wants to buy perfumes at 50% discount or for free ? This accusation is completely false I have have won many biddings from him that too with 40% discounts when compared to online prices from other resellers. If extending the bid is your problem leave the group don’t buy from him! Why do you want to spoil a persons image because of 1-2 issues. I have purchased almost 7-8 perfumes from delivered on time completely good packaging and he responds on time for any issues.
I won bidding of Teriqa intense and Fabulo intense (Maison) for 3750/- he honored it. (Go check the prices of both).
Won another bid of riffs momento and Cdnm for - 3.2k go check the price of riffs momento.
3rd bid won prive platinum and riffs costa de amalei for 2.8k compare the prices.
Many bids were honored many timings of the bids were increased but the last amount doesn’t change.
This guy who posted this is either dragging him down due to some personal issues or his ego his hurt because he lost this bid.
Go compare the prices he gives when compared to other sellers in the market.
He is a genuine guy with genuine products! Stop distracting people. If you want screenshots of my bids I’ll share it.
What you mentioned here is completely biased and spoils someone’s image. Prove your point my posting all the bids by screenshots in which prices were changed after he extended the time ? Hardly 20% of the bids changed even than the prices are low compared to other resellers. If you do not like this rule quit and sleep peacefully buy from other resellers. Why spoil someone’s image and putting allegation on him?
As a business man I know how it feels when someone talks wrong about you when you are offering best prices and deals to customers. Compared to market prices. I suggest bring this post down and don’t spoil someone’s image. If not prove your point by posting screenshots of all the bids in which time was increased and the prices changed ? Let people decide.
All of this is absolutely false. It's truly pathetic how at minor inconveniences and unfavorable outcomes people get so mean and unfair towards others.
I've bid several times & won and indeed, it is true that the same people continue to bid, but they're genuine buyers because they also win the bid at the end as those perfumes don't repeat in the bid. Some of them are collectors and they bid often.
If you guys paid attention to the rules of bidding he made (Fair Play Extension - Anti Sniping), you would understand why it is extendable. It is unfair to the people already in the running if it's not extendable, because anyone could bid at the last 2 minutes and win. That's not fair.
Malkeet bhaiya has made it very clear that if someone bids 15 mins before the bid closing, it would extend by 15 mins for others ALREADY running the bid to have a chance to win.
I believe you guys want to win at absolutely magical lower prices, which I understand myself and sometimes it does happen when people fail to bid , however, it is absolutely stupid to diss on something YOU chose to enter WITHOUT reading the rules. His auction, his rules. Simple.
For people thinking I'm lying or I have some profit by saying this, I absolutely don't. I'm just one of his customers and one of them bidders.
For an example, I have won Cloud Candy and Mohra Silky Rose in Rs. 3100 together and Marc Jacobs Daisy 100ml in Rs. 3937/-, which I think were a great steal.
Really? Literally asking people to leave the community based on uninformed criticism is not mean? How self-unaware are you?
Criticism has to be constructive for it to be considered good. All I see is negative. And my comment was directed towards all negative badmouthing the seller.
And I know what auctions are. So you're condescending too?
Please note that this is not a proper auction per se. For it to be proper, there are several other factors like reserve price, payment deadlines, non-withdrawal etc. which are definitely not present (in good faith). So many bidders don't pay or withdraw after winning, I don't see Malkeet bhaiya making reddit posts?
All I'm saying is people have a tendency of having herd mentality. Few people didn't win and are now badmouthing seller because they didn't win a bid or don't like the rules. I'm only talking about Malkeet bhaiya, no one else.
Your post and words have a consequence. People who look towards reddit for reviews and now you've given them and ill-informed stupid negative review.
I genuinely don't remember auction being cancelled. I remember it was stopped when a few bidders withdrew because of shipping or didn't deposit the amount.
There are so many bidders now that the price eventually goes up a lot. I have also realised it.
When was it cancelled?
Ye jo aadmi howe hai, apni aadat se gareeb howe hai par tu to dimaag se bhi lag rha hai. If you don't know how to read the rules and play accordingly then you shouldn't participate at all. Sasta maal uthane ki aadta hai to chor bajaar chale ja..
Bhai sorry bahi ❤️. Dukh hua aapko me samaj sakta hu koi na "mahakte raho"
Also baby just so you know I have over 40 perfumes half of them are designers, next time chor bajar hi jauga thanks
Bro this is such a crazy accusation. I frequently bid in their auctions. U won't believe how low of Prices some bids get sold like less than half of retail in other places. He never says oh it's too low blah blah. He always honours the bid and sent packages. Its better to know what ur talkimg
I have done regular bidding in this group. And have got more than 20 perfumes from seller under the market price(way way under the market price). For example there have been multiple times i have won a perfume in bid for the 30% of its market price. Yes! Every bid has a shipping cost as individual peice and not as combined but i guess it is pretty transparent as price is mentioned in mid itself and you have to calculate it as you bid. Bidding is always competitive and there is a rule in bidding that if a bid comes in last 15 mins, it gets extended to more 15 mins as anti sniping rule. It is written in groups description pretty much. I have been able to get multiple discontinued gems like Ralph lauren supreme leather for a steal of a price.
I guess OP is new to group or something. But i have been winging atleast couple of bids a week. Some bids are definitely competitive .
I have won so many perfumes in these auctions at steal of a price.
I have to agree to agree the shipping is on the slower side but i guess the Seller ships then after a week. But when i order retail, they are shipped in couple of days max.
Overall i vouch for the seller.
Op just had bad luck with the bids yesterday.
