Vuulu.com is an online penny auction site. The way it works is by users purchasing bids for 75cents and in return they have a chance to purchase cheap electronics. The time of the auction runs down, like any other auction, but every time a user bids on a product, 5 to 10 sec get added onto the remaining time.
The problem with the site is that it's impossible for a user to win. Anytime a user bids on a product, that has less then 30sec remaining on the auction, there is automatically a counter bid. Also, if a user bids on a product that has, lets say, 25sec remaining. At this point 10sec gets added onto the auction resulting in 35sec remaining. There is no counter bid until the 30sec mark is reached. This happens every time! The is automatic counter bidding the users, making it impossible to win.
It's pretty clear, once you test it out. Wait for an auction to get down to the last 1 or 2 sec remaining and place a bid. At that point, before you can even blink, your bid has been beat instantly by another so called "user". Try this a couple of times, and you'll soon see that you have no chance of winning. Then, instead of waiting for the last 1 or 2 sec of the auction, try placing a bid at 10,15 or 20sec remaining. The same thing happens. The only time it doesn't happen, is when your bid makes the auction result in more then 30sec remaining. No one will counter bid you until the 30sec remaining mark. It's like clockwork every time.
Also, Vuulu Corp. Is suppose to be located at 557 South Glenoaks Blvd.in Burbank, CA, but after doing some searching I found that the only business registered to that address is A B F Service, a brick and concrete company. And "Vuulu Corp" isn't even a registered business in California.
