anyone try this quibids.com bidding site yet?

I hit up the auction at the end so that I wasn't bidding from the beginning, that'd be stupid. I spent $13 on this lens, though I know quibids profited much more than that, but that's not my problem.

The system only sucks if you lose the bid war, because then you spent money and didn't get anything.

But I don't lose, sooo I don't see a problem in the system.

i don't see a problem with it (necessarily) either...so, you're saying that you only bid once, right at the end, and you snagged the lens for $13 plus one credit ($.60) or, your total bid (including credits) was $13??

also, i looked at the site once and it seemed to me that the auctions are "timed" but, when people bid at the end it adds more time on and it will keep doing this until everyone gets tired and quits or runs out of credits (i.e., money) and the last one left standing after everyone else has been soaked is the "winner". oh and, the "winning bid" figure only includes the pennies and not the credits (usury fee)...even for the winner...that, i do have a problem with...it's just simply not true...not even remotely true...in fact, calling it a "lie" would be a complete disservice to the art lying...in fact, i would be willing to bet that the level of usury would fall within the criminal code in many states.

fuck no...I'd do that shit in a second.


I outta open up a site that only charges like 40 cents per credit or something.

Yeah, the final amount you purchase it for isn't including how much you spent bidding on it. My $13 was the price I ended up paying + the money I spent on bids, though. I've only done it once, but it worked out for me.

I wouldn't necessarily be willing to do it often, the chances of losing money are obviously much higher than winning the item.
