Can't believe how many people fall for that scam... Does greed really impair people ability to use common sense?

For people who have no idea... Quibids is like ebay only you wont get your money back if you lose. Imaging 3,000 people bidding an average of $100 for an Ipad... Quibids makes a whooping $300,000 of a $600 Ipad... Yahoo, local media, and etc all advertise quibids so be careful people.

You gotta give them cred for the sheer genius of it. Its one of those, "how did I not think of that first?"

To elaborate. The user purchases "bids." You buy the "bids" in lots, 20, 50, 100, what ever. Items like ipads, gift cards, even gold bars are auctioned off on a timer. Every "bid" adds like 10 seconds or something to the timer. So you sit there with your 20 bids waiting for the 2$ ipad's timer to get down near zero, and just before it hits 100s of people bid and you see the price go up a few dollars as time is added to the clock. Finally when the ipad gets to about the price you could get a decent used one for people stop bidding on it and the highest bidder is committed to pay the price at which the auction closes.

One of the most genius ways to capitalize on the stupidity of millions.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 3 Rd 3 8pm

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I was reading through the thread seeing if someone would mention this. This is exactly what the Canes are doing and Tripp Tracy alluded to it on the Spittin Chiclets podcast when he said Taylor Hall was our Sam Bennett. The Canes and Panthers have always played identical with the main difference being Florida toes the line between physical and dirty. The Canes have stepped up the physical play this year and are inching closer to that line of physical and dirty. If I’m being honest, as a Montreal fan I wouldn’t love the fact that the Canes seem to be targeting Hutson but as a Canes fan I love it because this is what you have to do in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Montreal they aren’t an overly physical team outside of Anderson and Xhekaj; only the Avs, Stars, and Sabres average less hits per game than Canadians in the playoffs. The Canadians can still make this a series if they stop playing scared and turning the puck over simply because they are getting elite goaltending while the Canes are getting average goaltending but if the Habs continue to play with the yips and either Andersen steps up or Dobes regresses then this series could end in five.
