Penny Auctions / Quibids

[caseycook]

Have any of you tried the penny auctions sites (Quibids, etc)? Thinking about jumping in, but wanted to know if anyone had any tips on improving the success rate? I remember seeing a thread on FS about it, but think it was lost in the crash.

I like to stick to ebay...I have bought stuff from ubid.com, but that was about 10 years ago

It is sad to think that college was 10 years ago though...

Even sadder to think college was 40 years ago.

I looked at beezid.com, but I just can't make myself spend money on bids, and there still be a chance I don't win anything. At least on ebay, if you don't win, you haven't spent any money yet. It's too much like gambling. I can easily see how someone with too much time on their hands and a Paypal account could drain their checking account before they knew it.

IMO waste of time. you stare at a computer for hours to get 20% off of an item you dont need and you could have bought somewhere else in 15 seconds. you want buy an ipad for $1.69 like the ad says.
