I'd seen a few ads over the last year for these Internet bid/auction sites promising unreal pricing on items. Finally to kill a little time I decided to look at one and read this in their policy statement:
"""The user who submits the highest bid and is the last to bid wins the auction. All other bids on the item expire and will not be refunded. """

Too funny. Get outbid and lose your money! That's getting nothing for something! I am sure many are taken in by these sites thinking they can (basically) get something for nothing.

See the link I added a video of the T.O.S. where it actually says you will likely loose money

I thought it was obvious? You're gambling your bid that you'll win the item. Kind of like a lottery. nt - tinear 10:20:12 07/25/14 (5)

It isn't a scam. You are betting the amount you put up that you will win. - tinear 13:05:29 07/25/14 (3)
