QuiBids

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Anyone looked at this? I just had a gander today. They will be making cash hand over fist! It's really quite ingenious. It's mesmerizing, it's something I MUST try to saty away from! I always lose when common sense is a necessity!

Just read through their QuiBids 101, has some interesting stuff to say, plus always nice to get a MacBook Pro or 1billion inch TV for $.75!

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't trust such sites. It seems too good to be true. I want someone to try it that I know and then tell me how it went for them. Can you try it and let me know? Thanks. LOL

It's no con. A 1c bid costs 60 cents whether you win or not. It's a way to make stupid people poorer. They can sell an ipad for 10 bucks and be in profit at .60 per 1 cent bid.

It's really quite ingenious!

Not the kind of thing to get involved in without looking at it a lot first to see how it works.....Maybe I should stay away.

This is the kind of innovation that made America great! (Unlike that crappy cheese in plastic wrappers, Meaty)

Edit: I just saw a 16gb ipad go for 47c plus $16 shipping. I want one!!

I signed up on a deal to get a bunch of free bids. I burned those free bids quick trying to get other bid packages. I guess it's a timing thing.... I never went back to buy any bids.

Looks to me like it would be best to bid on the ones that have already peaked. Pay more, but lose less bids. I dunno though, still watching. I havn't seen an ipad go over $30 yet.

I may give it a go if I get drunk enough...Yeah, that sounds like a winning plan!

Wait, so you spend $0.60 a bid; "someone" (aka, quibids computer) outbids you, so you bid again @ $0.60, over and over and over?

Yep!! That's why I reckon it's best to bid at the higher level, say around $28 for an ipad to lower the amount of bids against others (Or the quibids computer)

Hey, I'm not recommending this site, I'm just finding it fascinating!

It does seem feasible to get an ipad for about $100 or much less after all the fees etc

With all the OCD shop-a-holics out there - I wonder if the common man can ever get a deal...

The people on that site are the ones hanging outside of Wal-Mart 30 hours before black friday starts...

That being said; there was a sweet "deal" on a digital SLR!

 

[HVBrewtality]

If this works out for them, genius.

Like I said earlier. It is a great site to make stupid people poorer.......Which is why I'm not jumping in myself just yet. Clint told me that a man has to know his limitations! :fro:

so at 47c that is $28 bucks not bad...
but if the bid goes up to say 50c and you re-bid to you pay for the total of the bid $30, or just the 3c increase from your first bid

Socialism at it's finest!!! LGI get's an ipad for $0.47; the company gets paid full price, because the rest of us spent $0.60/bid!

 

[Yuri_Rage]

There are several more sites using the same principle. If you seek out less popular items, your odds of an easy win increase.

 

[HVBrewtality]

Bids are an increment of 1 cent so $30 for an iPad means the company got 3000 bids. at 0.60 a bid, that means they got paid 1800 bucks! Is my math right?!?!?!

 

[bob1852]

I call bull****....

Watching one now for the ipad. The count-down "clock" resets to 0:20 seconds everytime someone bids...

Yup! It's f*cking genius! Yes?

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Find and watch something less appealing to the masses. I just watched a cordless drill sell for a single bid.

I'll keep an eye out for them. Sorry, this is all new to me.

Whatever any of us think of it, it is mesmerizing.

BTW, I'm not a socialist per se. I advocate capitalism with social responsibility. Take it to the debate forum where I will ignore that thread.

Is there a barley crusher on there?

no, no, no, no - I was not putting a political spin on it!!!! Seriously - I was just pointing out the socialistic concept of you getting a product for cheap because we all paid a small amount for it.

So, LGI, have you won anything yet?

LMAO! I already tried brewing gear. Alas, the options are very limited.

Aww thats too bad...

I am seriously looking into this now. But I won't be bidding on anything for a few days at least. Wifey just got laid off, so I have to line up my ducks pretty darn good before I gamble anything away.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

before I gamble anything away.

Exactly - it's a gamble.

Other sites with the same format:

Beezid
Wavee
Skoreit

I've yet to bid, though I've been tempted. Seems a bit like the internet's shell game to me.

 

[bob1852]

I call bull**** again - several gift cards went to "zero" on the clock with no bids - yet it says "sold"!

I can't be arsed to google... Yuri, do you happen to know how long this format has been around?

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I have no idea. Beezid advertises with Sirius, and I've had friends e-mail me links. I'm guessing a year or two.
