Some people love to gamble. At least with Quibids, you can use your losses toward the purchase of the item you were trying to win in the first place. Agree, they are using a fake accounts to keep from losing money. I noticed the same bidder at all hours. I contacted Quibids and they told me he is a long time account holder. Well so am I. He passes the limit. Why bid on this one since he will ultimately win.
I came out ahead and they cut the strings. Stay away. This still seems shady at best. Like you said, the point is that Quibids is essentially gambling.
The cost of that betting is in the form of paying for bids. So yes, you are right that IF your given situation turns out to be true where you paid more for an item , then of course you could have saved the money and just bought the item cheaper. BUT, what if you won the item at a low cost and ended up paying less than half or more of the retail price??
Not shady. Not a scam. Just a little bit of luck and a lot a bit of risk. If all these penny auction sites called themselves penny raffles, I would doubt they would get the amount of business they get. A slot machine is called such because it used to have a physical slot you dropped a coin in. My article was pretty straightforward.
A scam is defined as a system used to deceive people out of money or something of value. And to your point about not being internet savvy…to be honest, this is a lame argument.
Take the responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming others for your lack of knowledge. It is hilarious that businesses today require reviews like yours to promote an air of legitimacy. Exactly what BS am I swallowing?
Would you be upset if I wrote a review about how I prefer Android phones over the iPhone? This entire site is nothing more than my own opinions on products and services that I use or have used. In virtually any type of auction, you place a bid and keep placing it until the highest bidder wins. The heart and beauty of that system is — if you are not the highest bidder, you may walk away disappointed but no less poorer for having made the bid s.
I do agree that people should read the small print but there is little doubt in my mind that by calling it an auction rather than equating it to gambling — which is essentially what it is they are purposely attempting to deceive the public.
So Quibids is an auction…they sell items publicly to the highest bidder. My advice for anyone using this site is to ONLY bid on items you would have normally purchased at the regular price. I went to sign up over a month ago but felt uncomfortable. This time, however, I decided to do even more research and have since found out that because it is set up like gambling , and they are not as honest as they should be in their advertising, it is more like a scam. My advice, Stay with Ebay or other clearly defined auctions and keep your hard earned money in your pocket.
I joined yesterday and quickly came to that conclusion. Why only show a few ending auctions at a time? Because their shills can better control these few bids, by bidding and always winning.
I have a very fast laptop and hub. Then Qbids invites you to buy the item now, always at full retail or higher. What manufacturer would allow that? Get real people…all the positive reviews here are posted by their shills. Look at the more honest negative ones. How does a class action suit sound, Qbids? I can assure you I did not get paid to write this nor do I have anything to do with Quibids. I was simply illustrating the facts behind the system.
The only thing you give back in return are broken promises and empty dreams. Followed by an occasional morsel here or there. Just enough of a hit to keep them coming back for more. Like a heroin user. What they give back in return though is far more rewarding.
Money, hand over fist, while you make a thousand times profit. Avoid these soft shoe shufflers and go to eBay and find reputable sellers and deal with a real person.
Not a home furnishing casino. I have nothing to do with Quibids and this review was written years ago when I tried them out one time. Ya right. Talk about dog on a pork chop. Not 15 seconds. I was just on here a day ago too.
I generally try to reply to all comments when they are posted, but I do have other things to do in life. I wish Quibids would pay me something for defending them! For example, if a buyer claims they never got an item from me, all they have to do is report it and PayPal an eBay company just takes the money from my account and gives it back to the customer until the case is decided. What kind of crap is that?! The only protection I have is a signature confirmation so not even a tracking number works anymore.
Either reason is cuase for an immediate psych exam and mental help as soon as possible. And why do I need a head exam? Because I like to respond to readers of my articles? I know. What so ever could I possibly mean? Good acting. If a person was a complete idiot you might fool them.
There ate loopholes in every law. Scam is relative and if u ask me they are a retailer. Any retailer who makes 10 times wholesale price someone is getting hurt. Anyone who bids on an item gets hurt. Where have u ever heard of a REAL auction where the losing bidder s still pay what they bidder. I wish every time I sold on eBay I got the money that everyone bid!!!
WOHHO for me!!! No wonder the 10 second rule to squeeze every buck they can…. Like Isaid scam is relative. Nobody gets hurt…no comparison between the two yet they compare themselves to eBay…they are crooks and great deceptiors of the truth. Kinna makes me sick. The word scam is not relative. And to be honest, if anyone feels scammed by Quibids then they should have read the rules. QuiBids is definitely not a scam, just keep in mind that it is a business.
The way it generates revenues or pure profits, rather is actually very brilliant. If you do the math they can sell a product for, conservatively speak, greater than 3 times its retail price at a store in a totally legal way. Think about it, why should we allow the middleman more than the people such as Apple or Samsung whose popular products are on QuiBids who spend the time and effort in researching, developing, and manufacturing the products? I think if you think deeper it is more of a social responsibility than a simple customer decision.
Sounds like the very definition of a scam to me. After I was forced to do 70 hours of community service work, and pay back the money. Its no different than slots or lottery tickets. Given that there are only one winner and multiple losers, there are far better ways to be a smart shopper and spend your money more wisely. Penny auction sites can become very addictive and some have even likened these sites to gambling. It is a great investment. Although, personally I would never do this kind of business.
At its core, this is a very deceptive business. But looking at it purely from a business point of view, yes, investing in a penny auction can yield good profit. Penny auction sites, although not textbook scam, rely on consumer ignorance to deceive them into bidding and ultimately paying way more than the actual cost of an item.
Nowadays, companies are turning more to individuals for advertising. While companies once promoted themselves on TV, in magazines, and other Because both give you cash and other bonuses, just for Selling your car can seem daunting.
I mean, where do you even start? Well, one of the best places you can sell your car is online. Learn More. Stray Rescue of St. Be warned a referral can be well hidden. Just assume that when anybody wants you to use a link they have posted it probably has some kind of referral code or affiliate code.
If your going to use someones referral code you should use one of your personal friends or someone that really helped you out. Example there are a lots of honest YouTubers that clearly tell you what there referral code does and give you great advise, tips, and tricks.
Use one of there referral codes rather then someones who is trying to lie and cheat to get you to use it.
