anyone try this quibids.com bidding site yet?

The thing is to even think about winning you have to have no life (sorry feedz). It's like 1 credit per bid and a credit is like 60 cents or something.


So that camera lens for 1300x.60=$780+$13=$793 they got for that lens. and you have to have the patience to keep bidding and wait everyone else out.

They can eat shit.

I dont need to do shit. You just let your comp automatically bid for you.

I don't believe you. Go bid for me and prove it.

 

[miplank]

yeah, but how many bids did you have in that lens?


Unless you jumped in at the very end you had a chunk of change in it

keep in mind EVERY bid you place costs you like 60 cents plus whatever the end selling price is.


so in 13.00 there is 1300 bids. If you only placed 100 bids that is 60 bucks there, plus the 13 bucks in the sold price. so you'd have 73 dollars in the lens.


No idea what a lens costs, but again it's not as good of a deal as you first think when you see shit selling for 5-10-25 bucks.

it'd be cheaper and easier to have some punk kids steal it for you. lol

miplank dropping some knowledge

NPR (laff) did a piece on this as well and came to the exact same conclusion

You may get lucky, but most people aren't saving that much money, if at all

Go to a damn real auction if you're looking for deals

 

[miplank]

quibids actually has it in fine print somewhere that if you use all of your credits on an Item and don't win you can purchase it at full retail price. lol
