This site is definitely a ripoff site.  I have one a few items in the middle of the night, but during the day...watch out.  The same names are bidding on every item you are interested in.  

I started bidding on a King Sheet set (there was only one listed on the live bids page).  The price went up to $8.00.  Strangely, I noticed a few names bidders kept consistently popping up on ALL the auctions.  I then did a test.  I did a search on "King Sheet 600", and instead of just one set, as shown on the live auction page, there came up SIX sheet sets, all ending at the same time!  ALL THE SAME BIDDERS were bidding on those sets.  When I entered a few bids, an interesting thing happened.  ALL THE BIDDERS went to an AUTOMATIC BIDDING.  ALL OF THEM.  How did they ALL know to do this?  How is this possible.

There is only one explanation.  Quibids has set up fake bidders to drive you to buy more bids. This is DEFINITELY RIGGED, and they are banking on that you won't look too deep to figure this out.

Still Has Not Directly Answered My Allegation

AUTHOR: Disgruntled - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, July 15, 2014

I have made reports to the Oklahoma Attorney General, Better Business Bureau and this site, and STILL, Quibids.com will not make a direct response to my allegation...

...That they are rigging their site **with internal algorithms and fake bidders** that are pre-programmed BY THE site.  In no place is my allegation that they are allowing *outside* parties to rig the bidding!  

Notice how they delicately dance around this allegation:  "If anyone attempts to use any external software to bid"  "QuiBids does not allow any bots or fake bidders on the site"...

That's not what I am saying.  I am saying Quibids THEMSELVES are using *internal software* and *internal bidding* to do their dirty work.

I stand by my experience, which they cannot deny happened to me and have never directly addressed.  I hope this is a warning to anyone plows down that $60.00 or more.  This is a gambling site that is rigged by the site to work against you, and not much more.
