I heard about this Web site on TV and decided to check it out. I was a little skeptical at first because I didn't understand at first how they could possibly sell things like flat-screens, computers, cameras, etc. for such low prices. I spent some time reading about how it works and I even e-mailed them with a few questions. They answered all my e-mails pretty fast (which made me feel better.) After looking into it, I figured out how they are able to sell things for pennies and still make money for themselves.

They make money by selling bids to people. Then you use the bids to bid on items. It's almost like playing a casino game where you put quarters into the machine and try to hit the jackpot. You might win, you might not...but if you do, you get a great deal.

After I understood how it worked, I decided to give it a shot. I paid $37.50 for a 50 bid package (and it also included 10 free bids for first timer and 3 free bids for signing up) So I got to start with 63 bids.

They told me I should start in the beginner's section so I placed 4 bids on a 25 bid package and won it! It only cost 11 cents. So by that point I had spent a total of $37.61 and Had a total of 84 bids. (started with 63, used 4, gained 25= 84.) So I was pretty excited to move on and bid on other stuff. At the time, there was an auction going on for an Apple MacBook computer and people were bidding like crazy on it! It was up to about $20 something. I decided not to try to bid on that because there were too many people to go against! So I noticed that an ipod touch was coming close to the end and there weren't many people bidding on it (because they were all bidding on that MacBook!) So I decided to go for it! I ended up using 70 bids and I won it for $2.60!! I couldn't believe it! So that's about $37.50 +$0.11 + $2.60 + $10 for shipping= I only paid $50.21 for a $200 iTouch! The ipod arrived at my house, brand new, unopened. I was shocked.
I can't believe how cool this site is!

I ended up using the rest of my 14 bids bidding on a Garmin GPS, and I didn't win. But that's ok, because I still got a great deal on the iPod touch. I'm going to buy a bigger bid package and bid on the Apple iMac computer that's coming up this weekend!

I love this auction!

I haven't used this site yet, but I have used one similar to it, the bids only cost about $0.60 cents. I just started bidding but the cool thing I found for this site is it has a chat room where you can talk to people who are bidding on the same thing you are! It's called QuiBids and the chat room is called http://www.quichat.com.

Does this site have that feature?
