    workin all day and heard Jim Rome all month talk about this site, so i threw down $60 worth of bid buying to just to give it a shot at a reasonable loss if this site is crap. apparently if you do this right you can find some off the wall item or even a laptop for super cheap if you do it right in the middle of the night when you dont have dozens bidding over the top with 5 seconds left.

    Wondering if anyone has actually struck it good on this place and if so whats the deal. if i get 'scammed' o well it was for $60 no biggie. seems that if you got good at this you could rack up a ton of these $100 visa debit cards for $55 or whatnot each time and slowly grind some earnings....but then again i dont really think i have much left in my life for more grinding.

    curious on peoples experiences with it. thx

    I heard about skoreit on mike and mike in the morning. Told the gf about it and she looked up registration codes and got 32 free bids. Pretty sure you get 16 free for just using "espn" as a signup. Anyway, on her first set of 16 she won a $50 target card for $2 and change using 10 bids. On her second set of 16 bids she won a radar detector for like .50c. Not sure how many bids she used on that one. I have told all my friends about this site and no one has won anything with their 16 free bids (including myself). The gf runs good.

    I'm guessing this this is similar to quibids and beezid? My roommate uses quibids on occasion and buys up Wal-mart and Target gift cards for cheap (or so he says). I'm sure it's a lot tougher to win a computer, TV, refrigerator, etc. as a lot of others will be bidding on those as well. It seems really addicting too, so I'd watch out if I have that type of personality.

    I have tried out SkoreIt and won a few items pretty cheap. I won two $50 giftcards for 29 cents and 57 cents, plus a set of Ginsu knives for 9 cents. They charge you shipping and handling per item. Each bid cost about 60 cents per bid so the website is making crazy money. My advice is to watch a few auctions and see how things run. You have to be aggressive at the right time.

    got my free bids and will probably try it out later tonight/early in the AM to see if i can score something for cheap. i've put some auctions on my watch list and then watched a few...i LOL'd when i saw buchi's name on the walmart auction!

    edit:
    damn these things are soooo hit and miss. was watching 2 walmart gift cards, a 50 and a 100. stats:
    100 card: $8.59 (859 bids)... winner used 179 bids = 108.90, so total cost was 117.49 for 100 card
    50 card: $0.24 (24 bids)... winner used 10 bids = 6.00, so total cost was 6.24 for 50 card

    and they ended just 2 minutes apart...wtf??? that 100 card guy must have had a LOT of free bids

    register then go to redeem...type in espn then they will as for a phone # to text a personal code. once you have that, type that into the same redeem spot and then you get your bids.

    what a scam. i'm not saying you don't get the shit when you win, but you might as well buy lottery tickets. i was surprised when i first heart mike and mike advertising for it a couple months ago. i thought they'd quit allowing them to advertise once espn realized it was basically a scam, but i heard an ad even today.

    Alright. I'm watching the active auctions... Why would they ever end so cheaply? Just people not paying attention? This defies logic

    Holy shit these guys are making a killing. The gold coin that is valued at 160 bucks has not sold yet and the actually money from the bids is over 400 bucks. Somebody fire up a website lets get in on the action.

    tell me about it. According to my friend, on Quibids they once sold a car (whoever won it got it for like 8K, with an MSRP of 20K or so). The site ended up making like 60K on bids alone. So ridiculous.

    Alright. This is a genius idea. And also a complete mind fuck.

    The last person to give me a dollar gets an iPad. Each time I get a dollar, I start to count down from 10 again. If I ever get to zero, the last person to give me a dollar gets it. The auction can go infinitely as long as I get $1 every 10 seconds...

    This is insane. Legislators that want to go after gambling should be evaluating this long before they touch poker. It's like the ultimate game theory.

    For every penny that is bid the site charges 60 cent. Everytime you bid that one penny it costs you 60 cent. Everyone that bids on the item and loses, still paid 60 cent every time they bid. Essentially one person is getting a great price everyone else is getting screwed. You can however buy the item at cost from them, minus the amount you spent on bids that you lost. Pretty damn smart if you ask me.

    Yea this is a common business model these days. Tons of this sites out there.

    And as others have said, basically a lottery but with a minor amount of skill I suppose.

    im guessing its like swoopo where you pay for bids?

    rigged. they sell stuff under market value but the total value of all the bids almost always goes waaay over retail, sometimes more 10x. so while you may be the lucky person to get something cheap, any time you bid you are part of a crowd of people who basically all chip in between $1 and $100 so someone can get an ipod for $50. -$ev

    EDIT: but if you dont pay for promo bids you have a crappy freeroll.

    So let me get this straight.

    If I try and buy a $100 Walmart gift card and lose using $43 worth of bids, I can simply pay them $57 dollars more and still get the gift card?

    Sounds to me like if you don't get hooked and start going for stuff on the cheap it's a freeroll as long as you planned to buy the item anyway.

    I spent 16 free bids to get 15 bids. Turned 15 bids into 0 bids, which I then used as an excuse to buy the exclusive $5k plan.

    I just watched the Henckels auction. Actually i spent like 5 bids. The people bidding are pretty ignorant. the first group spends a shit ton driving up the price then somebody else comes in and ships it. Not sure I trust the site not running the bids up. I could have got those Henckels on the cheap, but I thought someone was going to bid at 2 seconds like that had before. nope, guy came in the last 2 mins a scooped.
