max power Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Never heard about this but As they say, If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I want to meet the person that buys a brand-new MacBook on quibids for $21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBBaron Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Never heard about this but As they say, If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I want to meet the person that buys a brand-new MacBook on quibids for $21.Have you looked into qbids? The bid price is a minor price. The cost is in bidding. Each bid has a cost and prices usually increase by a penny for each bid. In addition the auction is extended each time a bid is placed. So yes you can get a MacBook for $21 but you are likely to spend many times more trying to win the bid. Seems almost like gambling Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 It does work I watched a guy at work get a Xbox controller for $0.01 and a PS3 for $5.62. The real money comes in the bids. He bought 100 bids for $60. That means every time he bids (win or lose) he (and everyone else bidding) spends $0.60. So a $21 winning bid on a Macbook nets the company $1260 in bids plus the $21 winning bid. They make out like a bandit and sometimes you get lucky and win.

Scruit Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Walk away. I used to work in the same building as one of those companies. You pay per bid whether you win or not. If you pay a dollar per 1c bid and win at item at $20 then the company just made $2000 for that $500 ipad. One person pays $20, plus his share of the $2k worth of bids. Everyone else just pays their share of the $2k worth of bids.Do this instead: Send me $100. I might send you an ipad. I might not. Sound like good deal?
