Yeah, that too. 

Any of you been to Skoreit.com yet?  I've heard Mike and Mike promoting it for weeks or months or whatever and finally decided to check it out.  I don't like it. 

Alright so if I'm reading that site right, the catch is your bids aren't refundable?  So when you bid you lose that $$ even if you don't get the item, and that's how they make money.

Exactly.  They throw a $500 ipad up for auction and start the bidding off at $.01 and bids increase 1 cent at a time.  To bid, you gotta buy bid packs which at best, will come out to about 60 cents/per bid (960 bid pack sells for $576.00).  So when that $500 ipad sells for $95.00, that's 9500 individual bids that have been placed on that item.  9500 bids x .60/bid = $5700.00 worth of bids that people spent on that one auction. 

That's one hell of a profit.  Not to mention that every time a bid is placed, a few seconds get added back on the clock, so there's no swooping in at the last second and outbidding everyone.  They claim it's so "everyone gets a chance to bid" but that's a load of bull.  They add the time on there because they make their money on the bids, not the items. 

The only way you don't lose bids is if you set parameters for auto-bidding and those parameters are never met.  Ex: set the auto-bid to bid on an ipad once the auction price reaches $100.00 with a maximum of 25 bids.  If the auction ends before reaching $100.00, then you don't lose any bids.

sounds stupid and confusing

It's like gambling essentially.  You could get lucky and win a $200 prize for 3 bucks or you could spend $100 bidding on items you don't win.

It's brilliant if you're the guy who started up that site.....getting a bunch of people to pay you for the possibility of getting something dirt cheap.  A specific item might sell for pennies on the dollar, so it's a great deal for the winner, but chances are the site makes close to 10x the retail value of the item that they just sold so it's an even better deal for them.

i made the mistake of buying coffee there last week on the way to work and it literally tasted like a combo of nuclear waste and mercury.

[phattymatty]

its true i did it once too. 7-11 is only good for slurpies and sometimes a late night taquito.
