BidFun

Two words: Complete, and scam. Totally ridiculous. I sat there for about thirty minutes, watching people throw their money away. Every time you bid, it costs you about a dollar, and only adds a cent to the bid, plus twenty seconds. Even when there is like a second left, someone bids a cent, and you have to wait twenty more seconds to see if you win. Even if the clock DOES run down to zero, a word on the screen says, checking...
Just in case anyone wants to make a last minute bid!

This site took $350 in bids from my teenage daughter whi thought she would win an iPad for me for Xmas only to lose her money and someOne else won it for $281 what a rip off. I do not believe this other person or the other bidders were genuine and made up by bidfun to extract more money from unsuspecting people. Have lodged complaints with them and PayPal who won't do a thing to recover the money. These operators are to be avoided at all costs. They steal from people and are common thiefs!

Its the most foolish scam anyone could enter, the rules are missleading to common folk. To smart people they can see through it. Read the blogs. You buy points for a dollar and they make you think you are bidding for 1 cent. But that is really One dollar. Then you can't use the points you paid a dollar for the put toward any purchase but whey would you bid for a dollar at a time when you could buy the same item much cheaper from any online store. Don't be fooled by entering and paying and they automatically put you to the 50 dollar option instead of the 25 dollars and you can't take less to even try to work out how the scam works.

Geez. I didn't bid or anything because those prices look way too good to be true!
I got jumped and had my DSi, iPod and my Pokemon game (300 something Pokemon!) stolen. I've been devastatingly looking around for anyone who is willing to sell me one for around $100...
I saw this site and its prices and thought 'no f***ing way...'
Thankfully, I went snooping and found HORRIBLE reviews.
Honestly, it's a great money making idea, but the people making the money aren't us. And we're not getting the product.
The site is just rediculous.

BBW! As in Buyer be Aware! Thanks for all these postings on this site.
I was almost hooked into this scam as well, did the research to find 99%
Negative feed back - where are all the site winners and feed backs? None
To be found. I'm appreciative that others had to loose their honest $ to
Advise the gullible folk looking for value and fairly priced consumer items.
I advise to delete the site from your bookmarks, browser history and any links on your computers. Nothing in this world should cost $1 for. 02 cents unless you like to gamble and play odds of ******* to 1 to actually win a deal.

This is my. 02 cents worth (a better value).

Went against my better judgement and thought I would give it a go, since little pop up boxes constantly popping up for Ipad sold for $43.00, Iphone $5.64 etc! Eventhough researching how these penny auctions work thought I would purchase a few bids, mmm - $50.00 worth and try it out... mistake! I decided to bid on a Ipad 2 and Iphone both in the last minute cycle... going going gone but there seems to be no end to the going going gone with a selection of robot bidders obviously bidding Hundreds of dollars from what I could see as well as the site taking bids that don't even register on the item... and you are still paying $1.00 for a 2 cent increment that another 5 people have also paid for... wow, a very clever scam - the going going gone auction for the Ipad is still going 8 hours later. I've used up my bids & definately would not be chasing it... I've cut my losses and stick to normal auctions and not go against my inner instinct next time! I hope people decide to read reviews before they kiss their hard earned money goodbye and fatten the wallets of these very shrewd operators of this type of auction... There really should be a governing body to how this all works, I've never seen an auction or been to an auction where going going gone lasts for hours or even days on end... My Advise would be DO NOT BID! You will be able to get a better deal on BOXING DAY SPECIALS or Shopping at reputable sites and trying your luck on EBAY! Merry Christmas to all :)

This is a scam.
I was stinted by it. I spent $50 to buy the credit and finally lost all.
The scam is simple. Bidfun.com can easily set up thousands of false accounts to bid with you until you've lost all you credit. It cost nothing to bidfun.com. The false accounts can have unlimited credits from bidfun.com. How can you check?
Another way of making of money from you is like this: Maths tells it all. For example an iphone's final bid was $64. Sound great! To get there, there will be 3200 bids ($64/$0.02) or $3200 credits as every bid increases the bid price by $0.02 and each credit is $1. So bidfun.com makes $3200 for an iphone that sells for $1000!

I agree with an earlier post on this site... not a scam just a very clever way to pander to our greed and cheapness... that inner gambler or risk taker in us all... I spent $100 (not all gone yet but close) to watch the scramble for success while the site owners slept the widgets were making money... oodles of money... so paly on or go and play the slots at the local casino... not much difference but realize you're not being scammed your simply playing the odds
