QuiBids - Once Timeless - Oct 22, 2010
I'm sure most you think this site is a scheme but I will explain it to you guys. The way this works is they get like 5-10 people bidding on one item. Each bid you do is 60 cents. So if people start bidding and there is 5 of them the price will stay low but you pay your money for the bids. SO you are going to pay around 200$ for a iPad if you do it right. It's not the way they say it "I Only payed 10$ for a iPad" they pay there money in bids. So you must think the company is making like nothing highly untrue.
So let's look at this TV for example. They are not making a huge profit but they are making profit.
This TV let's say is going 2 cents per bid. The TV is a "Haier 24" LCD 1080p HDTV"
The price is at $27/2 (divided by 2 since it's 2 cents per bid that's how you find how many bids there are) = 13.05 = 1300 (cents) x .60 (how much each bids cost) = $780 so they don't make there money off 1 person they make there money off like 10 people which adds up fast.

Check it out don't forget though that you are paying for bids you don't bid and enter a amount the product price per bid is already choose. Some are 2 cents others are 1 cent and others are 5 cents per bid. No matter how much they go up per bid, each bid price is the same; it will always be 60 cents!
Remember that you don't want to loose a item, you will loose money. SO if you bid plan to stick to the end.
Thought I would show you guys this if you haven't seen it!
It's not scam I have friends who have used it and won things. So good luck!
I haven't done it yet because I haven't been able to get my hands on a Debit card from my bank just yet. Once I will I'll do it.

sites legit... I won a itouch 32gb for 53$$... heres my story... so one of my best friends told me abt a site called quibids.. and told me he won a macbook for 300$... thought it was BS... usually lies a lot... but then he showed me it about 2 weeks after (today)... and i thot he was still BSin and thought he just bought it normally for like 1,500... and then he showed me the site and the reciept.. =O....100% legit!!! Then I encouraged him to bid on a 10ft HDMI wire for me and we ended up winning that for like 8 cents + $1.99 shipping... then after I got home I made an acc and started bidding on a $25 Walmart gift card and lost like 30 bids... =(... then I started bidding on a 25 bid voucher in the beginner section and got it in 3 bids =) so was up to like 70 bids (started out with 83) then I won another 25 bid voucher but this one took up 9 of my bids =( so I was up to 85 W00T!! then I sat there for an hr just watching random stuff on quibids and some1 bought a ipod touch 32gb for like $46 and then i started bidding on another ipod touch 32gb when it was at $45 ended up using like 30 bids but w0n the iPod touch for $53.67 =) total came out to be 53.67+12.99 in shipping = $66.66
its a very fun addictive site =) bids cost 60 cents each... and after some1 makes a bid... the ending time gets pushed back to 15 secs.. then when no one else makes a bid... you win =) it is very risky... but its rly fun =)
Go to the site and watch it for like an hr or 2 and then ull get the hang of how it works and ull win some cool stuff as long as you got common sense =)
If you do decide to sign up you can get some extra tickets if you use the promo code winbig or winnow and use this link when buying a bid pack QuiBids - Shopping Redefined
$53.67 for an iPod touch... LIFES GREAT!! Cant wait until i get mine!!
PS: can someone pm me a good guide for jailbreaking plz.. THANKS!!

Why not implement a rat into people who you are bidding against, so they can't bid anymore
And then you will win the prize even faster.

Just a word of advice. If your a good bidder, u wont lose and make some profit. Each bid cost $0.50 from bidding. They make so much profits from bidders.
I heard rumor that there are bots on the site.

If you jump in at the last second and get an item, thats a good deal.
There are a few sites like this and its BRILLIANT!

If you do that math they make nearly double of what the thing they are selling is worth.

I wanted to start a business like that. It's such a scam basically. Calculate all the bids, while it going up a penny, then times that how much a bid is. I think it's 60 or 65.
They are getting millions! Quibids, I think it is - sold a car this year! I think they do it now! It's insane.

Yes it is kinda of a scam. But the person who wins is still getting a great deal.
