QuiBids

I joined this in a moment of forgetting, "If it sounds too good to be true...". First I was shocked to see that the instant I signed up I was charged $60. I thought I'd be given a choice. Then I tried to recoup my losses by bidding and hoping to win. It was only much later when I learned you could get a refund. Then I quickly noticed that the "bid-o-matics" won all the big-ticket items because they had deep pockets and intend to re-sell the stuff for profit. I thought I finally was winning a laptop when I hit "bid" at the 1-second mark, only to have an auto bid click AND CLOSE THE BID at less than a second. What a scam! I "won" a couple of trinkets but am still kicking myself for being so stupid. There should not be any auto bidding allowed.

I thought it was an "auction" site but its disguised for gambling and to scam someone. You have to purchase bids 1 bid=. 60 cents and then you pick an item and start bidding on it. When you do, it doesn't mean your going to win it and your bids are gone to. (100 bids= $60.00) Here's an example. A tablet might show its at the price of $12.64 but if you bid on it 100 times that's actually 60.00 you paid for it with bids and there "gone" you don't get them back nor the tablet your bidding on if you don't "win" it
I got taken so stay away!
This is NOT a real auction and shouldn't be called/referred to as one.

It is the most thrilling rush. Bidding is so unpredictable. Some of these people are psychopaths that will bid relentlessly. Other times you can win with one or two bids. From the initial $60, I wasted most of my bids losing bidding wars but I did win 2 items (a Thomas Kinkade print and a skirt) and then 2 more (underwear and a bracelet) from voucher bids collected in the process. Combined price for 4 items: $0.18! So... $60.18. The only problem is that now I am convinced that I can win that high dollar auction with the right timing, enough $$ and the courage to keep bidding. You never know.

I had a choose it item that I was unable to link with to purchase it. I called phone support and they were "out of the office" even though it was before closing time. I contacted via chat support. My item was sold out, but the chat support staff member offered me a game play as a consolation. I was thankful since they are usually in high demand. I "only" won 21 bids, but was able to turn them into 2 gift card wins, totaling 25.00 and 40 voucher bids during a busy bidding time! Chat support was great and lucky for me today! I quibids!

I think that any site that charges you simply to register smacks of a scam. As soon as I realized my credit card had already been charged for a batch of bids I never asked for, I unregistered. If I don't get a refund on my card, I will know for certain the site is truly a scam. Everything about it feels like scam. Its tempting you in with "too good to be true" chances at buying something for next to nothing. But in the end, you will have spent a lot of money to end up losing an auction.

I have been a member for 5 years and have won a lot of amazing products at incredibly low prices. Unfortunately, the site is now swarming with colluders and software users, making it nearly impossible to get good deals. Just yesterday, I ended up BINning a product precisely for these reasons--first I became the target of colluders, and then a software user jumped in. If QuiBids doesn't do something to clean up the site, I will most likely quit bidding. To make matters worse, the "value price" of most products is so inflated that deciding to BIN is hardly ever a viable choice.

No one here seems to understand that the site is intended for a CHANCE at a discount. You are very fairly warned when you are exceeding the amount of retail price and if you can not do the math to figure that out, then you should probably be spending your money else where. It is very simple bid on items you can afford at retail price and you won't be disappointed. Yes the site is making money off the $#*!s who are not educated enough to examine what they are doing before they do it, but who shouldn't. This site is an altered design of other auction sites and every single person who hates on them should shut their mouth because there is no way you would ever turn down this kind of idea if it belonged to yourself.

QuiBids is what it claims to be... an online auction. And an auction it is in the truest sense. Continued bidding extends the length of the auction just like live auctions. I think that fact that Ebay has dominated the space we're all used to that type of format which is technically not like an auction by traditional definition.

I was skeptical to say the least but after about one month of actively using the site I can say with complete confidence that many of the deals are legit. I myself have one a Sony PSP 3000 ($200) for $12, a TaylorMade Driver ($399) for $24, and a number of smaller items. HOWEVER, I do question whether BOTS have been employed by someone. I have seen buyers bid on items to the point where the final sale price+cost of bids exceeded the "Value" or retail price.

I would caution would be users to be on the lookout for those. You can sometimes spot them- relentless bidding with little strategy visible.

I bought the beginner package and won a about 3 bidding vouchers a 10 a 15 and a 100 bid one i won them really cheap too. The most i spent was 1.30 and that was for the 100 bidding voucher after that i lost some bids but then won the new touch screen ipod nano for 3.40 and shipping brought it up to 14 and some change i think its a pretty good site i agree with most of the comments but then again u have to factor in the people who don't do the math and just want to win something at a cheap price and end up bidding more than they should i admit im one of those people who continually hits the bid button but thats what discourages people to bid against me

The site tells you that once you have bid up to the price of the item, you can not bid any longer but can buy now. Using this reasoning on at least three occasions, I watched a site until the bidding was down to two or three bidders. Knowing that these bidders were getting close to their bid limit, I entered the bidding but found that the bidding kept going against one last bidder who should have long ago bid out. I think the site has an employee bidding against you with no bid limit. What a rip off.

I should start with QuiBids is a great idea, and definitely from a financial standpoint it could be quite popular. However, the advertising that QuiBids is doing is quite inaccurate. When I decide to join something that offers me the chance of brand name goods - then I want BRAND NAME goods. Another issue that I found horrible when you join you're automatically charged. I didn't notice anywhere that I'd be charged simply to join. I know that a lot of places are doing that since it's been successful for other businesses. I'm already going to be shopping with you, but you're charging me just to see what you're selling. Actually stock Apple products - then come back to me, and I'll gladly sign up.
