A bidding site

[88elliot88]

A friend of mine recently told me about this site ( madbid.com ) which basicly is a bidding site were you can get expensive items for low prices such as a tv - rrp £1000 but you can get it for £50. At first i had no idea how it worked ( me being stupid ) but basicly when you sign up you get 3 free bids ( enter in madtv3 for 5 free bids tho ) and you can bid on an item and if you win you can purchase the item. Im not sure if its availiable to anyone outside the united kingdom but its worth looking at. Also would be a big help if you could put my name as a reffer ( 88elliot88 )

sorry if my explaining was a bit bland but im not very good at explaining / describing things

There was a US site like that not too long ago. They sound good in theory, but in all honesty, no one ever gets stuff for the low prices they claim. The site isn't a scam site, but be careful using it. Any site that makes you pay for bidding isn't really a good idea. The site isn't really a bidding site, so much as it is a gambling site. You are paying for tokens to "roll the dice" on auctions.

If you have some extra money, and recognize it for the gambling/luck site that it is, then by all means, go for it. It's still in business so some people must have gotten something. But, if you are serious about doing it, you should read this thread first: www.telebid.com - Page 8 - MoneySavingExpert.com Forums

From the moment i signed up i realised that it was basicaly a different way of gambling ( which i love gambling ) but i've been trying to find loop holes in the company ( which i also love doing ) so i can get free bids, which so far has worked out ok, and i know this site is legit as the friend that told me about the site won a nintendo wii.

but thanks anyway for the heads up, anyone thinking of doing something like this should read the link you provided.

That's cool. Yeah, they are still in business so they aren't a scam site, you just need to know what you're getting into before you try it out. I'm sure people will go there thinking it's the new E-Bay and end up a little disappointed.

I'll wait it out. See if it's a scam or not. Wonder if they ship to US though

Never heard of it before, but that site gets a lot of traffic, that's for sure! And it's been around for over 6 years, so it's probably not a scam... but you don't know till you try!
