I find this repeated comment below from Tim above and one similar comment prior an obvious employee or person related to the site. Somehow this person knows exactly what can happen at the end of an auction???? How does he know you can win? no one here has mentioned ever winning. If you want to win, you'd either have to be very lucky or very patient. If you put in one bid and that bid happens to be the last one, and no one else is willing to up the bid, you could win something valuable to $1 (1 bid). The company still earns a fortune. It is not a scam, just a clever business model.

for god sakes. if you guys dont understand how these auctions work. dont bid on them! yes some penny auction sites can scam you if they have bots increasing the bids automatically. then you dont go to them, but go to a legit site. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST! ps. Ms Austen must be bloody stupid!

These people are making allot of money from what I see. Lets see I just saw abid on $20.00 worth of bidfun credits. It is at $7.68 and climbing, that would mean there would have to be 334 bids on that item seeing it goes up $.02 on each bid. At a $1.00 a credit that would equal $334.00 in bids plus the $7.48 for the item bid on. For $20.00 dollars of credit. So who are the dummies bidding. If the bid is higher than $.20 then the bid is too high. These people don't have to drive up the price they just have to sit back and watch the money pour in as it looks like the people bidding don't have a clue. It's not that had to figure out. If you wait until it close to the end of the time and start bidding and watch how many bids there are you can decide on which ones you want to win. If you realy think they are cheating that is easy to figure out also. If the same person is bidding more than 10 times on a $20.00 item then its rigged. From what I see there are allot of stupid people out there. This company is making a shit load of money. If you want to beat them you got to be smarter. For those having fun bidding a getting what you need have fun. It's just money after all.

Its a scam. Their statement "Recently sold for $xx.xx" at least should contain the total amount paid by the winner, including the amount spent on bidding. The winner can theoretically pay $130.00 for a product which the sites says "sold for $5.00". Potentially the winner can pay 26 times the winning bid on the item. No complete bid history for the product. No bidding history for yourself. Cannot get unused bid credits back once you realise they are a scam.
