You would think that ESPN would have better sense than to eagerly advertise for such an obvious scam - In any case, I was forced to watch my Angels Baseball on ESPN and they had this Quibids.com advertising throughout the game - ONLINE - So I decided to take a look - I began the registration process which began with my email address. I found it quite odd that it also wanted my birthdate and gender up front - Obviously they get a LOT of cancellations so they capture the cheap data up front. -

The very next page I am asked for my real address and a real credit card number and I am required to purchase 60.00 worth of bid credits - Right away I understood that they really weren't in the business - as their advertisements suggest - to sell products at a good price (CHEAP PRICE their words on the advertisement) - they are in the business of selling these untangable "bid" credits.

During the process I was confronted with an "Agent" chat box - Interestingly they can't even afford good programming - because I could type but could not see what I was typing - One way to keep people from actually chatting with a supposed "real-live" agent. So I typed blindly and asked this agent if they were real - they stated they were real - I asked if they had "agents" working for the company making bids against the "real" paying customers who were interested and bidding on they product. They directed me to their help site and stated they had no information on my question.

I asked about having to pay 60.00 for bid credits. They stated they had multiple levels of bid credit packages but the link they included in the chat revealed to show there was on 1 bid package - 60.00 for 100 credits - OH don't forget the whopping 3 "free" credits.

It became increasingly obvious that this "agent" was NOT real and was a "robot" - It was 9pm in Oklahoma when I started the chat - I seriously doubt that they had someone working at 9pm on a sunday on a holiday (4th of july) weekend. All the responses eventually became a circle always directing me back to the site to make a purchase. There was no real effort to answer my questions and/or make me comfortable with their product.

The first thought/question as a consumer is what guarantee do I have that the company is not going to be bidding against me?
Quibids.com does NOT offer such a guarantee - As a consumer I do NOT know if I am really bidding against a real life person or if I am bidding against a machine owned and operated by the company - With eBay there is a gaurantee that you are bidding against a real life person. Quibids.com knows that the "gambler" in all of us will think and shoot for that goal of getting a product at a low cost. If I spent 60.00 for bid points and used all of my bids to score something for 150.00 it actually cost me 210.00 for the product. At which point I would have actually saved money by going to a store, or amazon.com and bought the product for less or the same price.

It's a scam - for the foolish - and as the idiom goes "A Fool and His Money are Soon Parted" - and As P.T. Barnum is said to state: "There's a sucker born every minute" -

This is like trying to hit the bottle neck with a ring (tosss) it will take you 100.00 to finally get the ringer and you'll get a stuffed animal that cost 10.00 - Who is the sucker then?

In Peace and Agape,
Think before you buy!!!

Definately a scam. An Apple laptop just sold for $271.62 at a 0.02cent increment. It took 13, 581 bids to reach the sell price. At 0.60cent price for each bid, they made $8, 148.60 for a $1, 500 lap top. And who knows if the winner was someone that works for their company. TOTAL SCAM...
