DO NOT BUY ANY BIDS ON QUIBIDS! IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!
It is basically a scam on many levels. You buy bids at. 60 cents, so each time you click to bid, you just spent 60 cents. So logically you will wait until the timer runs down to the last few seconds to bid, but so is everyone else, so the timer gets to 2 seconds, and everyone jumps in, so it jumps back to 10 seconds. I watched it bounce around between 2 and 10 seconds for over 2 hours before I finally gave up, and the bids were still only about $5, going up a penny at a time. I noticed this morning the iPad eventually went for about $600, (according to Quibids) which means the bidding must have continued for many hours after I left. All with only 10 seconds left on the clock! It also shows that whoever got it couldn't have saved much, because you had to buy the bids, and spend them, and the original price was $649. They claim it was 79% of the original price, but again, that doesn't include how much your bids cost you. Yet another question here is how is Quibids manipulating the bidding? The higher the price the more they make, but if you watch all of the user names flash by at 60 cents a pop, they are really making a lot off this on top of what they are getting for the item. It is a scam. The only winner here is Quibids. I spent $48 on bids and chalk it up as an expensive lesson learned.
