Le site quibids.com est-il sûr ?

"Penny Auction Website" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidding_fee_auction A bidding fee auction, also called a penny auction, is a type of all-pay auction in which all participants must pay a non-refundable fee to place each small incremental bid. The auction ends after a period of time, typically ten to twenty seconds, without new bids; the last participant to have placed a bid wins the item and also pays the final bid price, which may be significantly lower than the retail price of the item. The auctioneer makes money in two ways: the fees for each bid and the payment for the winning bid, totalling typically significantly more than the value of the item.

Jeeze, people. Read how the site works. Yes, you pay a basic fee to join to get "bids." These bids come out to $0.60 each. Now, you CAREFULLY bid on items you want. Don't get carried away; bid smartly. Once you win an item (easy to do), you pay the additional amount that the bidding reached. Many times, YOU get the item at far below retail, while QuiBids makes a fair amount, too. Case in point: I recently won a GoPro Hero3 Black Edition camera system. Retail value at GoPro is $400. I bid on it and wound up paying $6.95 for it, in addition to the number of bids I placed. Once that was factored in, the total cost I paid for this camera was about $55. I got the product about a week later, and it was in brand-new condition and works like a charm. To be clear, 695 bids means that QuiBids made $417 on that one auction, and since they probably got the camera at wholesale, they made money too. Everyone's happy. For you people whining about this site being a scam: Grow the **** up and learn to read. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this company or their sales model. The only thing wrong is you people expecting to get brand-new products for almost nothing. Shut the hell up you freeloaders.
