For fun I like to find treasures on auction sites. I have some remarkable items that I retained for myself and others that I have turned around and sold for a very nice profit. Here is where CTBids fails miserably. The last time I was bidding on CTBids I had won a lot showing my high bid of $69 and 0 hours and 0 mins left for the bid. I closed my laptop and walked away happy that I had won! A couple of minutes later my phone alerts me that I have been outbid on the it I had won. I went on the site and sure enough another 3 minutes was newly listed on the lot. I was not pleased but I put in another bid and again won the item at $95.00 with 0 hours and 0 minutes. Same thing happened again and that was it for me. They will increase the time from 1 min to 3 min remaining if they think someone will keep bidding (which I do not think is the right way to conduct an auction and honestly that bidding until the last minute is one of the fun things about these online auctions. No other auction I know of practices this policy of increasing time. However to increase time when there was NO time left - smh. I am going to try some other sites that look reputable. This isn't the only thing that the management has trouble with as their invoicing process leaves quite a bit of room for improvement. Well, that's my 2 cents worth.
