Where's j0ker?????

Ralph, why did you have to point out that site. I'm fascinated by it.

$50 Staples Gift Card - bid 3 times $1.80, final bid $0.50, transaction fee $2, total = $4.30
Where did they get the gift card from to sell for <$5?

None of the electronics say if they are new, refurbished or used but, regardless, the prices are bizarrely low.

Did you actually join or is that the 'draw you in' stuff?

Its all brand new stuff. I understand that they have many people bidding at 60 cents a bid and so they actually make money. There is a bit of luck involved and that makes it a form of gambling in my book. But, it looks like fun.

I haven't joined but, from what I can see, the key is to bid as few times as possible on an item. If you bid 10 times and don't win the item, it will still cost you $6.00. If you win, it costs you the same $6 plus the winning bid plus shipping.

And, unlike with eBay, there's no sniping because the item stays open as long as there is active bidding.

So the last bid wins and does everyone else lose their bid? Poe just answered my question.

That about sums it up. QuiBids - QuiBids 101: How Does QuiBids Work?

So basically you could bid on 100 items and not win them but still have to pay.
Sounds like you really need to know what the hell your doing. LOL

good night Maria , i am near to say good night too

I'm watching an iPad. It started at 1¢. Each bid raises the price by 1¢. The current price is $44.83 so there have been 4,482 bids so far. That means QuiBid gets $2,689 + $44.83 + $15.99 shipping for an item that cost them $500 (if they paid retail.) But the person who wins gets an iPad for less than $100.

I don't have the nerves to bid on a popular item like that, but I could see bidding on some of the less popular things. Plus you can bid on packages of bids or get things that include bids so some future bids would be free.

The way you describe it makes it SOUND addicting. I would like to play with that sometime, I just have NO disposable income at the moment.
