#102 Posted: 11/25/2009 1:32:14 PM Berti won.
The problem is you never know when to use your bids - I thought others would bump it up - but they didnt.
So he spent:
49.20+25.56+12.90 = 87.66

#106 Posted: 11/25/2009 1:35:09 PM I just want to get rid of these friggin bids.
If someone wants to find out if you can transfer bids, if they allow it - I will gladly give these 24 bids to anyone who wants them. |

#110 Posted: 11/25/2009 2:12:56 PM Can you explain this ??? 50 Voucher Ended Auction
Look at the Bidder History window. So all those people are that mathematically challenged (not to mention cannot read the saving = 0)... All of them lost money....

#117 Posted: 11/25/2009 10:18:40 PM Iam thinking if you get 5 friends to start fighting over 1 item others would get discouraged to bid on it than you can win the item with under 100 bids combined. I think the optimum time to bid would be 4:30 am est.
Vanzach lets start up a bidding syndicate and kill the company's profit. |

Basically, it was a blind auction and you could pick any price you wanted going up/down by 1 cent increments. Whoever gets the lowest UNIQUE bid, wins it for that price.
So if you bid a penny and you're the only person to bid 1 cent, then you get the product for a penny. Of course, the company makes money off of all the other bids placed... and what's even worst is that hundreds of people could big on the same price and not even know it.
For example, there could be hundreds of bids on all the price points from 1 cent up to 100 dollars but people will keep bidding low in hopes that they were the only one to do so, because remember, you need to be the lowest UNIQUE bidder.
I forget what it's called but the whole 'lowest unique bidder' thing adds a twist. |
