This is a discussion on Madbid within the The Lounge forums, part of the Off Topic category; Thought I'd try and get a new phone on the cheap. Does anyone know the best times to make bids?...

| Mini Mac | It is just me, or are the BidBulter things really annoying. Someone has basically got loads of bids and just made a massive bidbulter. I think it ruins it a bit. |

![]() | Madbid is just a huge scam I thought? Yes some people do win, but I hear about lots of people getting screwed by them. |

![]() | It's not a scam, here is the business model You go on and buy 25 bids for £25, you then proceed to bid on an item, each time you click bid you use one of your bids and you increase the price on that auction by £0.01 so if you are bidding on an item with one other person and you both use your 25 bids, the price on the item would be £0.50..... that means madbid have just made £50 off you and the other bidder and you still haven't bought anything. You spent £25 on nothing. I recently saw an auction for a tv RRP £1,150.00 curent price £42.50 looks like a steal until you actually think about it..... that means that there have been 4250 bids on that item...... madbid have just made £4250 and you still havent got anything.....if the tv was sold at that price that would mean madbid have sold a £1150 tv for £4492.50 what a bargain........ yes somebody got the tv for 42.50..... but the tv was already paid for long before the tv was even sold |
