After reading how a penny auctions work, and after reading all the tutorials at their site, on what to expect "These auctions are high risk/high reward and they should be treated that way" (http://tinyurl.com/28eqfy6)... I enter a bid expecting to pay if I have to the full price on the product that I wanted... The problems was that I ended paying $333USD for a TaylorMade R9 Driver, that the Manufacturer (Taylor Made is selling at $299.. the Value price for this auction was $399, $100 more than the actual price that all the respect seller are selling them.. When I ask for my money back, or at least consider the possibility to refund the overprice paid ($33USD), they answer "if you would like, you can return this item for the transaction price...Erik QuiBids Customer Support" this money will be $16.48.. So I had to swallow my loss and accept my error on trusting this company,.. When I ask for the product even after is overprice, they answer "I spoke to the vendor concerning this order and it appears this item is on back order. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes..Sincerely, Carly QuiBids Customer Support".. once again.. all other respectable sellers have them on regular 5.day delivery time.. I ended buying from golfsmith.com the same driver, received 5 days after and I pay $299.. as for the driver "won" in the auction, Im still waiting from this despicable company to ship it, so I can sell it back and recover some money... If some one is planning on trying penny auction, Ill urge you to use your money some other site..

This is the auction http://tinyurl.com/2a2c9ko, and this is the price from a trully respectable company..http://tinyurl.com/24o6zz7

The "worst case scenario"??

AUTHOR: Ronny g - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 25, 2011

I guess this means in a nutshell..that if the gamble does not pay off the "player" is given the opportunity to purchase the item at retail or whatever the site decides is the fair retail price?

So, is it gambling, or not?

I guess someone who is not a gambler would have a better chance of getting a good deal if they searched for the best retail price of said item and simply purchased the item directly..and hence would avoid the "gambling" scenario?

If I am wrong, please correct me.

#2 UPDATE Employee

Product Replacement

AUTHOR: J4me10 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 24, 2011

It doesn't have to be high risk/high reward on QuiBids. This is b/c we offer the Buy it Now on every auction we have on our site. Worst case scenario, you can walk away with a product paying retail.

Regarding the golf driver (and any product for that matter), it just depends on what vendor we got it from, including their inventory. Sometimes it comes down to supply and demand. In this particular instance, we canceled the order and issued out a product replacement. If for some reason you still have a concern, please contact our support.

Question...

AUTHOR: Ronny g - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, December 31, 2010

..I have NO doubt you were ripped off..but where did you read "high risk/high reward"???


If anything..like any other form of GAMBLING...I would not require any reading to tell me it is in the best interests of the "house" for it to be "high risk/LOW reward"..otherwise home on Earth could they thrive?
