Quidbids - "entertainment retail auction"
« on: June 12, 2011, 12:04:42 am »
quidbids.com

seems like it might be worth it to buy the cheapo $20 walmart cards that very few people bid on.

Each time you bid, you spend $.60.

Fucking gimicks. Haha.

That said, there probably exist items that one can usually get for cheap.

It's more like a lottery than an auction. The more tickets(bids) you buy, the more likely you will be the lucky winner who bought the last ticket.

Another way to look at it, it's like a lottery where the drawing and ticket vending are simultaneous so that the last ticket number is the winning lottery number.

This. It's not like you put in a bid and win, it's like eBay but instead of money you purchase bids. It's dumb. Initially thought it was cool when I first discovered it but looked into it and realized it was dumb.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

You're not likely to score lots of cool shit for cheap, but some stuff I imagine would go mad cheap.
