I registered into the site, i received an email offering me a bid package of 45 bids for $13.50. Then when I went to the site, it said that if I watch a short video, I'd receive 25 more bids for free, so I did it. Then I finally went into the auctions and tried winning an ipod. When the clock got down to 1 second, I clicked the BID button and the timer went back up 14 seconds. After that I noticed every time the clock got close to zero, others kept clicking BID to try and win the ipod. This went on for several hours. Then the website said it was under maintenance, and when it was back, the same items were up for auction but the price restarted. The advertisements failed to explain that the timer would keep going up with no price or time limit. The advertisements made it seem like it was so easy to win, and not that you would have to sit there for hours on end with no results.
