Anyone use Quibids.com?

[BluCiv08]

Im looking to buy a new computer but i cant afford one. I've seen the quibids.com commercials and was wondering if anyone on here has used it? or think its legit at least? They have macbook pros on there for like $18 in bids, and a bid costs something like $0.60 so you can sneak a few last minute bids in and win a new macbook for like $20? just wondering what the average input on the site is, any and all is appreciated!

You want to buy something you can't afford? Especially a computer that you can get for 300 bucks?

I don't think you understand how it works... Look into it more. You have to spend a certain amount of a fixed amount of bids. And you have to realize these things go on for HOURS. And the bids are less than a dollar. Once you really total it up, you don't really save THAT much money.

Yea, the bidding sites are sneaky as hell in the fine print. I wouldn't do it.

Dont get a computer from there. Save up and get one from Bestbuy or something.

Quibids is sneaky as hell. Our class tried it in school, and 1 bid was actually 60 cents, compared to the said "1 cent"

Laptop for $20? LOL.

If it seems to good to be true.....it is.

Nothing is that cheap that is actually legit and is actually worth hundreds more.

DO NOT DO IT.
I tried one of those bidding sites before. Waste of my money and i didnt even get anything...

Those sites seem like a total scam.

They show a Mustang on the commercial selling for a few $100...yeah right.

Don't waste your time.

I have a friend who gets relatively cheap new computers from Best Buy that have been returned.

Don't do it!! you have to spend like x amount of dollars for x amounts of bids and then when you run out you have to buy more to keep bidding. what really sucks is when the timer gets within say 10 seconds and someone bids, it resets to 10 seconds again. people keep bidding and it keeps resetting. pretty much that keeps going for hours and you could spend a lot of money just to buy it for $50.

It's true.

They make the money off the bids, not the actual selling price. Each bid increases by one(1) cent, but you PAY 60 cents for each bid.

Say a Mustang sales for 980 bucks. That means there were 98000 bids. 98000x.60 = $58800. They just paid for that Mustang AND made a profit on it.

Because once those computers leave the box, they HAVE to be sold as used/open item.

It'll be a full, operating computer, you just have to pay more than half a dollar to bid, not to mention that everytime you bid, you reset the timer, so someone else could win it. So at the end of the day, you spent more than a few bucks to NOT win something, sounds like a winner

This. What people don't realize about this site is that there's someone who got the product for a great price, and then possibly several hundreds of people who bid, and didn't win. It's not like eBay where if you don't win, you don't pay.
