Here is an interesting thought. If you bought a 5D Mark II from this site for $500.00. The site would have made $30,000 in bids.

Most I've ever won on a scratch off is $2.00 so I don't think this is for me but I have two engineers here going nutso watching this right now!


So far this week I have had a flat tire, furnace breakdown, speeding ticket and now my washing machine is at the curb which broke last night ...I'm not exactly on a winning streak at the moment!

Scalesusa - I emailed the link you listed to one of the engineers but he was already on that site and is disappointed now but ....IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT USUALLY IS!

The company is based out of OKC. I live in this area. The company is legitimate and that is what they do. They were actualy interviewed on one of the local stations a while back, and not in a bad way seems the station was clueless about what they company really does.

As a mathematician, upon reading how the bidding works, I had an immediate and strong visceral sense of aversion to it. It absolutely is a form of gambling. The only saving grace that it has is that if you lose, you can buy the product at retail price minus what you spent on bids. With this one rule, the only logical way to play would be to bid only on items you fully intend to buy at MSRP; this offsets your potential loss.

It is a scam. They make far more money off the bidding fees than the items are worth. And of course they have automated bidding bots placing fake bids if an item is going to sell for too low a value. Avoid.


And please stop spamming forums with marketing spam such as this - especially for a dubious site.


Meh.
