    The way the site works is that we allow our users to only raise the price by a a maximum of 1 cent with each bid they place on an auction. There is a small fee for every bid placed, currently $1.

    This is the stupidest thing ever.
    You have to pay $1 for every bid.
    When you bid it resets the timer.
    You have to pray that someone doesn't outbid you in the next 2 minutes. Which they always will.

    Sounds "legit", as in, I doubt they are scamming people out of the items. Someone has to win something eventually. But, the fact that the timer resets after every bid is terrible. Pretty much making the process unending.

    Edit: I know the concept, but this is just plain.... weird? ><

    You see the items that were recently sold when you scroll down;
    You can also easily estimate your chance of getting the item you want: 1/(Price in cent)

    Are people seriously QQ'ing about having to pay a dollar a bid? The entire point is to bid at the right time. Obviously they're not going to let you get things valued at $700 for $50 without making money somehow.


    You buy ten bids. You wait until an item gets around 60% of its price late at night and then you try and bid. When it's late and the price is high enough, people aren't going to bid as much since they want a deal, not a small bargain.

    If you look at all the sold auctions.
    A majority of them are going for under $1.
