Skoreit.com

Okay so I heard on espn that they were giving away free bids, so i said hey why not try it! I watched how skoreit worked for a while and used some of the free bids. Well I actually won a $50 gift card to home depot! I went on to pay for it and everything was confirmed. I was feeling lucky so I used my wife's phone and got some more free bids (figuring that I'm not going to spend any money until I actually receive my gift card). Well lucky must be my middle name because I won a $25 Wal-Mart car! Again I used my same bank card to pay for that one, thinking I this is a scam I'm not giving them more then one bank card.
A few weeks have gone by and I have not received anything so I called. They said because I had more then one account I'm not getting anything! It clearly states in the rules that
"You may not register for more than one account on SkoreIt.com." no where in the rules does it say one per household.
So my thoughts on skoreit, its much like our government you put all this time and money into it and they find ways to scam you out of what's rightfully yours!

The website needs to get rid of power or shill bidders to make it a fair playing field for everyone.The website also says they, in most cases they just try to make a little profit or break even, horse####. When a 800.00 dollar hdtv sells for 80.00 thats 8000 bids@. 60 cents a bid which equals FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS! Less the cost of the tv, 800.00 equals a profit of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS! Just a bit more than a ( LITTLE!) profit or breaking even. ALL i can say after visiting this website after hearing the glowing endorsement from mike and mike on ESPN is. I wonder. HOW MUCH STOCK, GIFTS OR MONETARY KICKBACK ARE THOSE TWO GETTING? IN summation PUBLIC STEER CLEAR of this fixed bidding website. ONE LAST THOUGHT! WONDER HOW MANY OF THE ITEMS WON WERE WON BY THE INHOUSE BIDDER? HHHMMMMMMMMMM, probably quite a few.

A star is too much!
This site is a total ripoff. You buy packs of bids. So for $19.95 you get 30 bids. And then you have to square off vs. "bid agents" and the occasional manuel bid. Every time you think you're closing in on the final price, a bid agent kicks in.
If you want to win by using bid agent, you better be ready to arm the agent with a ton of bids. But even that is tough. How do know what price to tell the bid agent to start bidding? You can't determine what the end price ballpark is going to be!
Even if you're willing to pay more for a product, it's difficult to set that bottom price in the bid agent. I might want to pay $15 and tell the bid agent to start competing at $10... but how do I know the auction isn't going to close at $7?
THAT'S how profitable this is for the site. They are more interested in making you spend bids than raising the actual end price. That's the proof right there.
I saw people spend as much as 600 bids to win an item.
How do we know these "bid agents" are real people?
And half the time, people are competing to win "bid packs" of 240 or 480 bids just so they can build up a stack of bids to go get real products.
Folks... there are casinos and horse tracks that will give you a better return on a bet AND they're regulated.
I figured I'd try it out... I should have the word "SUCKER" written on my forehead with indelible marker.

I've been reading the negative posts about this website and have a few things to add. First off, I have been home on disability for the last 3 months so I had time to kill and really took my time to watch and learn. I see many many people bid and bid with no success and believe they see it as a scam. I personally have spent about $500 but have won about $950, primarily in gift cards.
As for the power bidders, they seem to be doing it as some sort of business so that if they overspend on an item one time, they make up for it on another time. My advise is take your time to learn their screan names and avoid them. Let them take what they want to bid forever on and don't compete with them.
The last thing I want to say is about the comments "Why would someone pay $100 in bids to win a $50 item" First off, I don't think they went into it thinking they were going to spend $100. Next, the only thing worse than spending $100 on a $50 item is spending $99 and not getting it. This drives some people to go crazy and over spend.
It does not appear to be a scam, but if you are not careful you could easily lose a lot.

DO NOT repeat DO NOT get hooked like I did, I too heard the ad on ESPN and heard Mike & Mike talking about it. So I signed up got only 5 free bids instead of the 10 promised by using ESPN ( cust. Serv just now sent me a new code so I'll see if that gives me the other 5 bids) The first day I bought the $20 bid pack figuring 30 bids for $20 was ok. I tried at lunch time (not a good time as there are many more people on then) but I tried spent about 20 min and about 1/2 my bids when I ended up winning a $25 Visa card for less than $3.00 (including shipping). I was like wow this is cool, well about $100 later I haven't won anything, I've tried their suggestions of watch the time of day you play. Nothing. I am thinking that since I signed up and won on the same day that this is a scam they hook you by letting you win on the day you sign up but then again my own fault you know the saying "Too good to be true usually is"... Learned my lesson hopefully you will too and if you have won on the site congrads to you...
Thanks

After being on the site a few days and watching the results (check out the close auctions) I came to find certain folks seem to have incredible luck. One for example goes by the screen name IMNEVERGOINGTOSTOP. That seems appropriate as it appears he has incredible luck. The screen name seemed to be popping up alot and when I checked I found he had started off winning 120 bid paks and then moved on to 240s and 480s. That seems like a good strategy to build up your bids, but when I saw what he paid and how many bids he used I was amazed. An inside trader on Wall Street could not have hoped for as good a results. All of his winning bids were among the very lowest on record and only a fraction of what the BidPaks were typically going for.

If he's not an insider of some sort he should be in Vegas not on a penny auction site.

Alright, I watch alot of sports and alot of espn. That is where I heard about skoreit.com. At first I was thinking that it might be pretty cool. 15 free bids from promos lets do this. I made 4 different accounts and had no chance to even win anything. So I started looking around on the site. I found that alot of the same people win alot of the same prizes. Now skoreit says that no one associated with its family, friends, employees, etc are aloud to be part of it. BULL****. I'm going to list a couple examples.

All of the bidpaks seem like a good idea. But they are the worst. They don't cost a dime to the website and they get a ton of bids.

But, tell me how this sounds.
480 bid pak-
GUY NAMED SHORTFUNNY bids on this 3605 times. Recall you are only winning 480 bids. This units retail is 292.00. His cost of this total was 1828. 52. Tell me that's not internal.

IMNUTSREALLY bids on a American express gift card 6461 times.
Retail 1000. 00
Cost to him 3405. 08
NOT INTERNAL?

That's just a couple of examples. This site is nothing but a scam to get people to buy bids and have there guys outbid at all cost.

Look it up guys.

Thanks for reading.

I too heard about this site on ESPN from Mike and Mike and thought with them promoting it, it must be pretty credible. I do not beleive it's a scam, you can actually win items for a great price but it's not easy and in the end you could end up spending hundreds of dollars and win nothing, To me that's not a user friendly website. I was interested in the Invicta watches they had for auction, they said retail price on these watches was between 395.00 and 495.00. Well when i looked them up i found i could purchase these watches for 60 bucks on other sites, which really bothered me. Looks like alot of other people realized they are cheap watches too cause they never get bid up too high, thank god. For the Designers and Creaters or SKOREIT.COM, I think the site is Ingenius. They are making a killing which is another example of Abusive capitolist behavior to exploit the american people. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that if a 500 dollar ipad bids for bewteen 35 and 55 dollars with penny bids, they are making 2000 to 3000 profit on it, but the ultimate winning items are the bid packages themselves which cost them nothing. As we speak a 240 bid package just went for 8.33, which on average, means they made around 700 bucks on that. What a joke. I wouldn't reccommend this site cause the only winners are the people who own and created the site.

I am a disabled physician. I trred this site as I heard it on Mike and Mike in the morning as others did. At first I spent a few dollars. But let me tell you-yes like all the other negative comments there are auto bidders that are suspicious! I have won auctions--TRUE. Bottom line its LUCK! You can have a stragedy--but it all goes to hell when someone signs on and bids another 240 bids for something. An I Pad 16 Gigabyte soled for 74.00 dollars! Now do the Math. That was 7400 bids times about 63 cents a bid.! Four thousand two huindred dollars. These auction sites a purely gambling. The items I have received are legitimate. But there are so many people out there that resell what they win on ebay. Its aboiut timing and luck. If you can sit all DAY AND WATCH SOMETHING--YES YOU CAN WIN. Setting up an auto bid is purely a gamble! When I look back---I have lost almost three Grand and really did not need the stuff I won. Truly! Bottom and final line is this. Go watch and wait for a sale at a department store---you willo be less frustrated and less tempted and will be guaranteed to get the item. Not a gamble and a Loss. I think these sites all should be removed from the internet--period. I am Guilty of being depressed after major spinal surgery(and feel stupid as a Physicain having lost that much). But if my story can save anyone heartache, and their hard earned money, then I at least am a truthfull fool. Stay away from this site! Go to wallmart or target, or best buy. Thanks.

I've won 5 gift cards on SkoreIt, but still recommend that NO ONE visit or use this site unless they are VERY careful.

This site will rob you blind if you don't study the strategy very, very carefully. Even then it's still difficult to win. There's WAY to many powerbidders out there that have turned it into a business. They overpay here and underpay there. I don't think there's inside bidders, I just think most people are forgetting that they constantly have bid packs up for bid. If someone gets a 480 bid pack and uses 100 bids to get it, they are 380 bids ahead. If they keep doing that with bid packs plus invest money, next thing you know the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. If you notice, most of the powerbidders are the ones also bidding up the bid packs as well... so then they amass tons of bids and win practically anything they want.

I won about 6 of the $50 gift cards and a couple $15 Subway cards. I learned after wasting $400 that you cannot win the big stuff very easy (at all), even if you utilize sound strategy.

Ultimately, it's gambling and you have better odds playing at an online casino than at SkoreIt.

My BIGGEST frustration is that it's been 10 days since I won 3 different $50 gift cards and they haven't shipped yet... but I've already paid for them and the shipping/handling. They sent out Subway cards immediately after I won but held onto these 3. Tells me they are bidding out items they haven't even purchased yet... that is NOT a good sign. Aside from being a crapshoot at best to win, they don't even have the prizes in hand that they are getting tons of money for. That's BAD business.
