I joined this site and have been carefully watching. Yes, this seems like a good deal... at first. Then, when you acually sit down and watch one single auction, you notice the scam. Here's how it goes.

You bid (only a penny at a time (which cost you a dollar at a time)
You watch other bidders (and get in the moment of bidding)
When the auction is close to "end", since there are ALWAYS multiple bidders, it goes into the "hot zone" (which is the last 2 minutes of the auction). This hot zone can last for hours (I have seen the same auction "hot zone" last for over 24 hours! Just think about it. For instance, if an auction goes for $124.57, then offandaway has made $12,457 on "penny bids" just from the bidding process. They make BIG revenue just on this! Also, they send you emails, "reminding" you that the auction is "going into the hot zone" at a certain time (which is usually HOURS after it has technically already been in the hot zone. Also, the "book now" prices aren't that great of deals. They are standard "good deal" prices that you can get through other ways and sites. I have saved emails, print screens, and auction information. I am not a gambler, and typically don't fall for these scams, but since the original investors seemed credible, I tried it out. Apparently, I ended up falling for a scam.
