| I can get just as many links for ebay and craigslist "scams" It's no different than a gaming tournament where you pay a $10 entry fee. You'd keep yourself from popping a vein if you just asked how does yours prevent the headaches of quibids. Everything I didn't like about quibids I removed from dreamybids. 1. There are plenty of ways to get free bids, you don't even have to buy 1 bid. 2. One of the auction formats, everyone in the auction gets x amount of free bids. Each bid the final price goes up x amount of cents. At the end of the auction the winner pays the final price, if you didn't win the auction it costs you nothing since you never bought bids. Like this free auction http://www.dreamybids.com/contest.php?id=332 3. You can host your own auctions. So even if you did lose $50 in bids, put up an item of your own and make your money back. If we collect 30% more than the retail price of the item, you'd get 50% of the overage, so you can make way more than you would from selling an item on ebay or craigslist. 4. There are some great gamification tools that allow you to freeze the bid of the next bidder, or buy the timer down, or block a power bidder from joining an auction. Also once the auction starts new participants can't jump in. Asking questions keeps you from being theamazingidiot |
