The site is a great idea, but don't expect to receive many items anytime soon. I have $250 in gift cards, and it has been well over 2 weeks and I have not received them. I did receive my ice cream maker and $15 itunes card quickly. The $250 items were won on a Wednesday, and the following Thursday I won the itunes card and Ice cream maker. I receved those two items in about a week, but have not seen any of the Lowe's $250 gift cards.

My thoughts are that the site is hurting for money, primarily cash flow, and they are using delaying tactics to stay alive during the recession. Be careful! If they go out of business, you will not receive any of your products.

I was reading most of the comments and I hardly see a positive comment but I will leave one because I believe is true and happened to me.
I always thought I can win a ipad for under their value price but I don't have the time to bid or the money but I won myself something useful for the family and myself. I won a vtech laptop for my child, a grill where i can cook like pro, a waterproof/fireproof safe to protect my identity and even a oral electric toothbrush to save me money to see a dentist. I won these items under 5 dollars and under 10 bids(. 60 cents per bids). This site is legit and I recieved my items under a week and quibids even send me emails that it was on processed/ship with tracking number for some items. I never complaint about anything to the customer support ever.

I spent several of my hard earnd dollars and have absolutely nothing to show for it. It a gambling site. I did not realize this. The hook you in and get you going and when you get excited thinnking your about to win a product at a cheap price 20 other bidders jun in and take it from you. They are making money from chumps like me, who buy credits and get nothing.

I watched the bids on the site for a couple weeks. Mostly gift cards to various stores of $25 was going for. 30 cents to 1.50... As soon as I tried it, bids jumped to like $5. The ones I didn't bid on... 30 cents. Sounds like bots bidding against things people bidding on to jump up prices.
I tried bidding on a couple other things... same thing.

I bought a few item through this site. The items were a couple of memory cards and a Lego set. I tried bidding on items such as laptops, tv's and cameras. It seems like a waste of time. It looked like I was going to win as the time ran out. Then it seemed to glich and a new bidder was winnig. This happened several times likely to increase the amount of bids. I assumed when the bids exceeded the retail price of the item someone would win.

Sure seemed like bots were bidding. I can't prove it's a scam but I did file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Don't use Quibids unless you have the money to lose.

I started on this site a few months ago, it used to be very good, I won quite a few items, Then they started sending used refurbished crap for the auctions... stay away from this site, some lawyer will file a class action suit against them and and up shutting them down... you can't change the rules without notifying your customers!

It is a scam
June 8, 2010

It is a scam. People only write good things so they will get an extra 5 bids.

While some people may get some great deals it is a total rip-off. Because it costs you. 60 each time you bid, they ultimately receive 2-5 times the high retail value of the items being sold. It is way worse than a casino. It may be legal but it is unethical. Go spend you money at a casino. You will be better off and have a lot more fun.

One more thing: Please be aware that quibids.com is bribing people to post positive reviews here.

I LIKED THE SITE
June 8, 2010

I LIKED THE SITE. Unfortunately, the auction can go on forever. It is kind of like a war of attrition-whoever hangs on the longest wins. I have use my beginning bids and have won nothing, but I am sure that I will get the hang of it soon

Sure you might be lucky enough to be the one who gets a product for cheap, but there are a lot of other people who don't win. It's easy to forget that for most items you bid on, it costs you a $1.67 to increment the bid by only 1 cent. Your 45 bids for $27 doesn't go very far. Then they suck you into bidding on more bid cards, what a business. Has anyone calculated the profit they are making on each item? Add it up yourself, let's say an iPad sells for $120 on Quibids which would be a great deal for the winner. But it adds up to $120 x 100 cents on the dollar = ******* cents or ******* bids at $1.67 per bid = $20,040 total made on the $120 sale. And the iPad only cost them maybe $900. Holy #&!@# that's $******* in profit, wow, I gotta get into this business.

This website gives you a lot of fun and you have a chance of coming away with some cheap stuff. For just pennies on the dollar, you can purchase TV's, video game systems, housewares, sporting equipment, and all sorts of stuff if you are the winning bidder. If you aren't the winning bidder, you can apply your bid total to purchase the item at the full price. Have fun!

I THINK THE WEBSITE IS FUN BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR WILLING TO SPEND. I THINK THEY COULD SELL YOU THE BIDS A LITTLE MORE RESONABLE BUT THEN I WOULD JUST SPEND MORE BIDS. GREAT SITE BE CAREFUL CAN BE KNOW DIFFERENT THAN THE CASINO'S..

They give away 5 bids for positive feedback! Good deal! "Лохотрон"... ask your Russian friends, at least you'll learn a Russian word or two :)

A lot of people are skeptical and say they spent too much money on an item. The one thing people should know is this: Only bid on items you are willing to pay full price for. Moreover, you should ALWAYS do the math on a product before you start bidding. Find out the maximum number of bids you should use while keeping in mind this shipping cost. You should always save some money using this site even if it is just a couple of bucks.

I think you need to understand that yes, you pay for every bid. But every bid doesn't always cost $. 60. If you were to win a 100 bid voucher (normal cost $60.00 100 times $. 60) for say $10.00 then your bid cost dropped to $. 10 per bid. So by winning bid vouchers for less than the normal cost it allows you to bid on other items many times without the high cost per bid. I won an electric lawn mower valued at $399.00 for $9.70 I placed 12 bids with each bid costing less than $. 09 because I first won several bid vouchers to get my cost per bid down. My total cost for the mower ended up to be $10.78 plus shipping. I would have paid shipping anyway if I would have purchased on Ebay. So I don't think this is a scam at all it's just knowing when to hold em or when to fold em.

I like QuiBids

I like QuiBids. I understand you win some and you lose some. Its all part of the game. You have a better chance at winning an Auction on QuiBids than you do winning big in Vegas.
