I just joined a couple days ago. My first 2 auctions were for gift cards. I won them with a couple bids each. Then I was hooked, but it turned out to be beginner's luck. Overall, it is very difficult to win an auction. There are too many bidders for every single item. And there are nutjob bidders that will pay more for an item than it's worth. Probably out of a psychotic need to win at any cost. I think you have to be an obsessive, hard-core, long-term player to be successful at qwibids. It's not for me. I won't be using the site any longer.
