So I thought it was free to join, you pay when you bid. I was wrong got charge with the 60 buck. So what the heck i try it out. After doing some reading and looking around. For you to win big prize like a MacBook, Ipad, etc you have to bid big or be SUPER lucky and get away with 20 -30 bid according to the history stats. I saw this bid for a Macbook, retail price at $979 and this user bid 399 times, its. 60 cent a bid so you do the math. Yes he got it for cheaper by bidding. But you have to buy the bid, so if you plan on bidding small for big item don't even try it will be a waste.The only way for you to win is to go all. There was a bid on a Macbook, the end price that they bid went all the way up to $126.80. So thats ******* bid total from all the bidder x. 60c thats $7,608! On a MacBook that cost 900 buck. It's a good profit for quibids. I think majority of the user buy the item and resell it on ebay!

Ace, I am sorry to hear that is your impression on QuiBids. Let me first start off by saying you are correct, each real bid is $0.60; therefore, every time you place a bid into an auction, you are investing $0.60 towards the product. QuiBids is a pay to participate website, as mentioned at many places on our site including the registration process and QuiBids 101 help section. We offer bidders the chance to win items at a discounted price. If they do not win the auction, we offer what is called the Buy Now option. The Buy Now feature offers you the chance to purchase any product at any time during the auction and for up to 2 hours after the auction ends. By utilizing the Buy Now feature, an investment of real bids never has to go to waste. Any ‘real’ bids you place in an auction will be discounted off of the Value Price. Please note: Voucher Bids have no monetary value, therefore do not apply towards the value price when utilizing the Buy Now feature.
With that being said, it sounds like the 12680 bids that were entered in an auction for a Macbook was a combination of Real bids and Voucher bids. Unlike the Real Bids you purchase at the Bid Store, Voucher Bids are not eligible for a refund, and nor may you use them toward an item’s Buy Now price. In addition, QuiBids does not allow customers to pay more than the retail value of an item. So, if the Macbook was priced at $900, we would stop the bidder from continuing participation in an auction if they reached that price.
I hope this provided clarification. Below I have provided links to our QuiBids 101 and Help sections.
