Bidz.com is guilty of bait-and-switch.
They let you bid on items below their so-called reserve price and if you win, you will be emailed saying sorry, you cannot and did not win item as reserve price has not been met and if you do indeed want the item that you have now built up an obvious psychic connection to than you will have to pay their price.
I found this appalling and in most industries this would be blatant bait and switch advertising.
If there is a minimum price, than start the auction there please do not mislead the public.
