Everything that you have read about this website Bidfun, is true, in my honest opinion. I found it this morning at around 4:30 A.M., and spent $50 first, just to bid, thinking I had a good chance of winning something at that hour of the morning. Then, when I consistently lost the bids, spent another $100 (I know, I'm an idiot). Anyway, I noticed that the same bidders kept bidding up each item, even the items few would want to buy at the prices they indicated they would cost, such as the Kingston Capless DataTraveler USB Key-16 GB which they said retails for $46.00. Anyway, the bid robots kept bidding up this little gizmo, and they always had the same names during the six hours I was online. It just didn't make any sense that anyone would pay $2.00 (translated, $200) for a gizmo worth $46. So, I started keeping track of all of the automatic bidder robots and their frequency, and it is most definitely a fraud in my opinion. There are at least 10 automatic bidders who seem to come in at a certain price point to drive up the price. Once they hit their limit, another robot comes in and drives up the price, and so on. The bidders were willie2buy, stephdigu, dmeleard, hrv59, mimioct, jejln, laugae2, emmastubbs70, risqueur, nyataige, and dmeleard. As you can see, I started taking note. I will tell you that I became grimly determined not to walk away with nothing, and after six hours of constant bidding, jerking awake at the computer, and hanging in there, I finally won a Sony PSP Go! Console for $46.06 (free shipping, and why not, it cost all of us bidders $4,606 for me to win this console! —don't forget every bid costs a dollar, but is worth only one cent so bidding a dollar is worth $100 dollars). I actually spent about $90 to win this thing. When I completed my bid, I had sixty dollars left to bid. Do you think I wanted to leave my money there for them? No! But you don't get your money back, even if you don't want to bid any more. It is gone with the wind.
What a setup. The other surprise is, once you win the bid, you have to pay for the item separately from the money you have already spent to bid. It is not deducted from the amount you have paid to bid, thatis totally apart from the price of the item you are bidding on. Therefore, once I won this durn thing, I left money on the auction table, and that makes me mad, too. Don't do it, your money and your time will be wasted, and you will leave the site with a sour taste in your mouth and an empty pocket.
