The cost was 13.14 + 17.99 for shipping and handling. If you can do the math then I won. It's not a scam. A scam is when you are given incorrect information so that they can take advantage of you. The site is 100% clear about how it works and the risks you are taking when you bid. I also bid on a coupon for more bids and won it for .01 + 1.00 for processing for 100 bids. Thats a savings of 58.99. I used those bids on a product that I didnt win because I got caught up in the excitement of the auction and I took it personal that I wasnt going to lose. Quibids gives the opportunity to get products at a ridiculous cost to the person who wins ad yes there are those that don't. And what is the problem with their business model. I wish I would have though of that. If you dont like to lose, dont gamble. I’m new to quibids and I used 25 bids to win a 55 inch Samsung Smart LCD tv.

Just watch what you have in it & quit before you get into a biding war. Even if you do, when you reach thier (key word) value, you can still buy it & deduct your bids from the price. HERE"S MY QUESTION: Are there bots or quibids employees bidding on items that either A don't have many bidders or B show people winning big $ items for small bids. I saw someone win a 40in LCD HDTV tonight with 3 bids plus shipping. I really hope they did get it that cheap! It'd keep my faith in the site & I'll still have fun "betting" that I'll win!

If they bought the items and then sold them at the retail price they would barley have enough profit to pay the taxes on the business itself. They must do this in order to become a successful business. The whole thing is the people who bid the whole time, they waste their money, I get great deals because I bid at the right times, I strategize everything. If you strategize it you won't end up losing money. Now you talk about Ebay and their auctions, they also make a profit off of each sale. The buyer has to pay the price for shipping and handling, but the seller never sees the shipping and handling money, that's because half of that money goes toward shipping the product, but the other half is kept by ebay, thats how ebay makes their profit. No matter where you go, the company will make a profit, all you have to do is strategize your purchases.

WHY WOULD THEY RESET THE TIER WHEN SOMEONE BIDS OTHER THAN TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF THE BIDDERS? 0.60CENTS TO BE EXACT. THATS NOT RIGHT. NOT RIGHT AT ALL. THUMBS DOWN TO QUIBIDS DUE TO THAT QUESTION?

I'm watching a HDTV auction being conducted as I'm typing and it's at $125, an awesome deal - right? Well that $125 is equal to $7,560 of monies in bids - get it??? If you bid 100 times ($60 value) that is equal to one dollar at .1 cent increments. Thus, for an item to get to $126, you would have to have 12600 bids at .60 cents each – right? Now if you get the TV and you only make 500 bids or $300, plus the $126, (the winning bid) plus the shipping and handling, you did get a smoking deal since the retail value is $3,000. But I highly doubt the bidding will stop at anything less than $300, therefore the bid monies will be over 18K. If that’s the case and Quibids paid retail (when you know they get wholesale) they made over $15K on that one deal alone – can you say scam!!! No matter what your "idiot mind" may believe or how great a deal you received, they are raping and pillaging. Let’s not even discuss the fact that they are auctioning bids vouchers, which are nothing more than are air. For example they auction a $25. bid voucher (which cost them nothing) and it goes for $5. That is an actual profit of $1500 for a coupon, nothing more. Starting to make sense…..whomever came up with this concept and website is a "thieving genius."

Says a lot. Yes, it's a lot more like gambling than it is eBay. And in most cases, the house wins. Otherwise, there would be no house. But you can't win if you don't play.
