Hi guyz... We all come across those fancy "bid to win" sites offering expensive goods and gadgets at the cheapest prices possible. We talk about those PTCs and surveys which turn out to be a scam most often but what about those "lowest-and-unique-wins" ones... I guess their legitimacy should also be in question as they charge you for making a bid but there is no transparency in their process of working. Besides you never get to know who won or does the declared winner really exists or its just another way to fool people. Share your views and enjoy lotting... :)

Hi himzey, I have used several of the bid to win sites and have not ever been cheated yet. There can be scams in most any type of site, even like MyLot. One can get great bargains from bidding on merchandise, I won a gift card worth $50.00 and only posted one 40 cent bid. eBay and Qui-Bids are then only two that I have ever used but am member of several others. Zeekler also has one that you earn from as a member and the stuff they auction off is good merchandise is good stuff and if you are hi bidder you get it. You purchase bids and this is the what you use to bid.

Hi manleyjoy..!! Yup.. This goes the same way with those I've been through; with a slight change though. The lowest and the most unique bid wins. But its really meaningless cause there is no hope in such bargains. One shouldn't really bother about such schemes.These online business schemes will continue to lure people to invest their money, earning more than the actual prize of the gadget being sold. Hmmmm .. greed... nothing can be done.... (hey.. aren't you the one from ozarkpaidmail... ??)
