The concept has been around for years.
For every auction winner there are tons of losers that spent "bids", aka money, to attempt to purchase an item at a cheap price. The auction site does all it can to offer widgets that claim to offer you a leg up to assist you in spending bids and winning auctions. Fuck it, just buy the item you want off Amazon. |

these are great deals - if you're really, really bad at math.

Quoted: Crazy deals for customers + 350% Profit for owner = Does not compute I didnt feel like typing all this out but I guess I will...... You pay for the right to actually bid. You buy bid packages. The lowest is $27 for 30 bids. Thats $.90/bid. Everytime someone bids it increases the auction $.01... which costs you $.90 each bid. At the end of the auction like in the example there were rougly 7,000 bids for $.01 that made the item sell for $71. But the site got about $1 for each of the bids from a lot of different people. The guy that won it bid on it 23 times, which came out to be $16.10 because of the bid package he bought. So he paid $16 for the bids and the $71 for the "selling price" of the TV. BUT the site made $7000 on the TV because of how many people bidded on the item at $1 per bid. Look into it. |

Check it out. This is legit. Some CRAZY deals on here. CRAZY fuckin deals if you do it right. Has anyone bought something from here? The dude that started this site is making 350% on some of these items. Do the math. Its an awesome deal for whoever wins AND especially for whoever owns the site.
ETA: http://www.beezid.com/auctions/49448 Here is an example "auction" where this dude won a 46" LED TV for $87.84... no shit. Read up on what the site is. Crazy good idea lol. The way you are pushing this I think you may be that "dude" |

Anyways. This is the first Iv heard of this. Seems like a good deal if you win.
Sort of like gambling I guess. $20 on Hold em or $20 on beezid? IDK. Ill give it a try and see how it works out for me. Gambling. Thats a good comparison right? I think so. |

If you have to pay for the privilege of bidding, you better "win" something or it will get expensive.

Just letting people know about it. It took me a bit to realize how the site actually worked. Theres a few people on here that know me and would know that I have no personal stake in this.  |

Firefox WOT (Web Of Trust) Lights up All Red on that site.

I find it highly unlikely that anyone not associated with that website would win a bid. If you think about it, they don't even have to have any merchandise on hand, just a bunch of ghost bidders or software to ensure that someone not on the take never actually wins an item.

As everyone else has said - BULLSHIT. First, the link says the auction was won for $71.74 on 21 March. I'm just going to go out on a limb and state that these auctions are simply restarted every so often, with no / extremely few people actually winning. And look for the pattern: 87.84 and 71.74 - it's not that hard to identify. I had a couple of minutes free, so I did a little detective work. The winning bidder on the link you provided, "blacknirish", I purport is either not a human being, or is an agent of the company. A quick google of "blacknirish AND beezid" reveals that this person writes up generic 'hey this is the real deal!' posts on a lot of different forums. I'll bet that the vast majority of winning bidders, if googled, will end with the same results. |
