Quibids is one of the best penny auction sites out there, but there is the risk of losing lots of money on it. Many people make the mistake of seeing that Joe from Texas won an iPad for 3 bucks and think that they can buy 45 bids, jump right in and do the same. For every lucky auction winner, there are 50 people who spent the same bids and won nothing. Quibids newbies need to realize that most of those people who have, indeed, won an iPad for 3 bucks have 10,000 bids and only won because they turned on the Bid-O-Matic, bid and bid and bid and bid and scared everyone else away. Try to go up against someone like this, and your bids will be gone before you know what hit you. People who have done so, of course, are why Quibids has an average review of one-and-a-half stars. So if you have 45 or 60 bids and have never won an auction, you ought to bid on smaller things and build up some experience, maybe buy some more bids, and then perhaps try for a Macbook or a TV. Don't do something stupid, lose all your bids and then say the site is a scam. The site tells you exactly how it works if your willing to spend a few minutes reading the fine print rather than just jumping right in.
