Is this site for real? Have you seen auctions end? Canon Digital Rebel XSi + 18-55mm Lens Black @ $5.76 and Nintendo WII $16.80.

AHA the catch...

Each bid placed on an auction costs just $0.75, enabling us to offer such amazing deals.

If you have luck let us know the auctions that have ended look really good. Google'ing the name kind of scares me. The 300 FreeBids Voucher could be worth a try.

Holy Freaking Crap this could be worse than WOOT 2 Minutes into the site and I have chewed all my fingernails.

Yes the 75 cents a bid got to me to but items are selling for peanuts now cause not many people have found the site yet.

The Wii went from $16.80 to $115.20 Still not a bad price and 5 cents a bid from $16.80 to $115.20 Nets the site $337.50. Much more than retail but if you are the lucky one to get the final bid a real bargain. Gotta say thanks frank first WOOT and now this. I will never sleep again

Thank my son on this one he found it. I do not like the idea of having to pay for each bi so I may not be bidding besides someone else stole my bigfrank ID already.

I tried this before xmas and there were a lot more auctions then. what you need to look at on the ended auctions, how many bids were placed by the winning bidder.

They had some fixed price TV auctions before xmas that plasma's were sold at $149 regardless of the ending bid. So if it took 400 bids for the winning bidder ($300) plus the $149 = $459 for a $1500 + TV isn't bad.

There were Wii's that were at or above retail when you looked at the true cost. (Bids added to final price)

[STRIKE]Some[/STRIKE] Most of these auctions are ending at 70 to 80% below retail in fact they had an auction for $1000 that ended at about $145

I just looked at it...but each bid only raises the bid by 15 cents.

So you have to keep bidding bidding bidding right at the end, right? And hope that yours is the last bid when the clock runs out? But there's a big random element in there, because other people are frantically bidding at the end at the same time, too.

Oh, and I see you need the BidButler.

Oh, man! If someone bids in the last few seconds, the countdown clock adds time. Again and again and again. They must be making a bundle!

Way too much like gambling. Not for me. Interesting, though.

Some auctions are raised by 5 cents some are Penny auctions so the bid goes up by a penny each time, Remmeber the more bids the more the site bids so if there is an auction tha has a penny auction for every Dollar that makes them $75 for that $1000 auction that sold for $145 that made them $145 plus $10,875 gave them $11,020 can this be right? Did I do my math right?
Btw any bids near the end and they keep the auction going by adding 20 sec more for each bid.
