    QuiBids - The First Penny Auctions Site Today!
    This review shows that this is a penny auction website like Quibids in places you have to purchase your bids before you ever bid. The bids cost within dollar, which is not excessive but when you consider that you can use all of your bids up very early on in the auction that sort of changes things. They are doing have a buy it now feature, so at any time you can decide to pay the buy it now price, any bids you have made are subtracted from the total price of the item. This seems to be a legit auction but lacks a few of the features and big ticket items.

    The idea is that the items are won at this type of inexpensive it is well worth the risk of losing $5 at each auction. It appeared like it had been a little counterintuitive to cover an auction before you actually invest in anything. The bid packs are sold at the smallest for 40 bids plus tax so it's a minimum of 20 dollars to get started. I would also think that because the lowest bid pack is sold at $20.00 there is a quite strong possibility that you'll tell you it rather quickly or they'd make the lowest bid pack for 10 bids or 20 bids.

    The recent auctions that ended, showed that a waterproof camera was sold for cheap, and a dual view camera was sold for cheaper, this if it is true is merely amazing, but I'm a skeptic when it comes to the expensive stuff.

    I don't like the thought of handing off money with the hopes that I could easily get something in return. It makes me uncomfortable to lose cash on the outside chance which i may or may not win. Sure, I like to gamble similar to the next guy, but I like to know upright front that I am gambling, not believe that this really is some type of bidding opportunity when really it's more of a lottery.

    The Quibids website is organized well, it was easy to navigate and also the language was easy to understand, and so i guess that would be a plus. They had some decent items, like a computer and a very good music player, but that was about it the rest of the items were gift cards, and low end items. It might be worth a call if you're looking for the higher price items and can afford to get rid of some amount of money to see if you're able to win something amazing in a inexpensive. Generally though there is nothing that impressive on the website.

    This might be something to complete in your spare time, when you're searching for a little action to entertain yourself and maybe win something.
