Update

In fairness, a few items have begun to arrive. The CEO is sending periodic updates on the situation. Looks like they're really trying to get it together.

Got it yet?

Yes, I've seen you win many auctions as have I. It used to take them a month to deliver won merchandise (with a little nudging). A couple of weeks ago they asked for 30 days to get reorganized which means I have numerous items won but nothing delivered in 6 weeks. Until and unless a stream of merchandise starts arriving, I can think of no sane reason to purchase more bids. There must be others who feel the same as there is very little bidding activity going on. My fear is they'll shut down or go bankrupt and we'll see nothing. A shame, I liked it and directed friends to it, sincerely hope they get it together.

going....going....GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AUTHOR: Ronny g - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, March 17, 2011

Yes...GONE!!!!!!!!!!!  Gone will be your heard earned money if you choose to gamble it away.  Granted, real auctions do announce going, going...GONE!!!!!!!!..but the difference is..in a "real" auction...it does not cost you what you bid if you are not the winner of the auction. Think about that for a moment and you will understand the business model of a penny auction....

Or I can spell it out. In a "real" auction no one pays but the winner of the auction. In a penny auction...just like ANY other "casino" be it online or Vegas...it stands to reason that it is in the best interests of the "house" that as many "players" lose as possible..and not only just LOSE>..but lose as MUCH as possible as fast as possible. I wonder if that is fully explained in the "terms".

Yes..they do mention on the site that this is "entertainment"..but perhaps there would not be as many "players" if they also mentioned the simple reality that this form of "shopping" is GAMBLING.
Definition of "gambling"...
the act of playing for stakes in the hope of winning (including the
payment of a price for a chance to win a prize); "his gambling cost him a
fortune"; "there was heavy play at the blackjack table"

I dissagree

AUTHOR: realbidtowin - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 15, 2011

I am a customer of this site and I am a verifyable bidder on this site as I am on many others and I not related to any management on this site. I have been around this industry for a couple years now excusvly as a bidder reports like this are usually because someone joins a Penny Auction site that has no clue or strategy so they end up losing and instead of blaming themselves they cry foul on the PA site. I can  atest that this site is legit I have been a customer for a few weeks and have won several items from giftcards to Ipads.

As far as bots this site has none I assume the same goes for shills otherwise I would not be winning things like a 37" LCD using only 4 bids ($2.40) or a $400 Canon camera 21-bids (21.60) a Dyason Ball vacuume for 7-bids ($3.60), an I pad for a net 127 bids (76.20), a 32" LCD Tv for 45 bids ($27.00).


As long as this site keeps shipping the won items they are golden in my book, still do not think I am real google me (realbidtowin) check  me out on the sites and the forums, but stop bashing the sites that are legit without having proof
