Website seems too good to be true.... is it?

You can figure out what it is right when you click on it, and it leads me to believe there is something fishy going on.


I mean a $150 Visa Gift Card just sold for $13.50... people never get that kind of luck do they?? and that's just the start of it, way more stuff to be had.

I would obviously love to do all of this, just wondering if it's a trustworthy site or not.

Probably not. They just want ur info. It'll take hours to fill out all the stuff they want u too.

Well the good thing is, if you do "win" the item and get screwed over by the site. Your only out a dollar or two

true that lol...


the reason i was asking because i contacted a craigslist listing about it, and it was what seems to be a legitimate reply, but they told me they already sold it but that i could try looking on this website, but they have another one coming and it should be up on ebay soon.

it very well could have had a fake response, you know sent out by a program instead of a person, but i just wish this website wasn't too good to be true lol.

Oh it's legit. The deal here is you register with the web site, and buy CREDITS. I didn't see how much each CREDIT cost. Then you find the item you want to bid on. You will then notice the clock counting down. That's how much time is left before the end of the auction. When you bid on an item, you use up 1 credit, and the price of that item goes up by 10cents. The countdown clock also goes up by 10 seconds, which gives someone else a chance to bid, raise the price, and add another 10 seconds to the clock.

I'd be skeptical. There was another site that ran the same way, and a friend of mine tried it for a couple of days. Out $75 and never won a thing. He moved on, and so would I.

Hope this helps.

yeah, i wouldnt bother with that crap, if it seems to good to be true, it is.

you have to buy credits at a buck a pop and you are forced to buy credits in bunches of 25, 50, 100, 200 and each time you bid, it cost a buck. its almost like reverse ebay only you have to spend money to win the item and spend more to pay for it at the auctions price. ill just keep my ebay and this zambid, beezid, whateverbid websites can go to hell!

 

[RustedRanger]

Sounds like that beezid comercial,there is another also that shows that they sold a new Challenger for 19.95......I think it falls under the "too good to be true" heading.

well to my understanding there is a laptop for 23.90, so roughly $240 have been invested in it, the msrp on it is $350.00, so 264.00(sellers guaranteed) and it still going, and the people that built it up are out the money,im waiting to see the results

just hit 330 ($30 for item plus $300 in bids)
just hit $32 so $350 so the bider just bought the laptop, anything else is profit for the site

just lookk at a psp that ended, the site made 100% profit, so the bought it and sold it for double what it worth, its all a psychological thing, you see $2 and think 10 cents wont hurt, and so on forgetting that the bids cost you pretty smart

btw the laptop is at $39.30 or 393 +39.30 = 432.30-350 = a guaranteed $82.30 profit for the site and it just ended

If you sold 1000 ticket for people to have a chance to win a ferrari for a buck each, only one guy can win, when you tell him there is no ferrari, he gets pissed and you give him his dollar back, you made 999.00 profit and everyone is happy. Keep that in mind when bidding on a gift card for 1/4 the value that could be faked or stolen or just not there.
