TheSmartBid

Smartbid is similar to Skoreit in nature, but it works quite differently. On one hand, I think you have better odds on this site than SkoreIt, but the flipside is that the bids are very expensive.

Unlike SkoreIt, SmartBid limits the total number of bids that an item can have as well as the total number of bids an individual can make on an item - this alone increases your chances to win. But, the better items cost anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 per bid - making it 3-5 times more expensive.

In the end, similar to SkoreIt, I found too many powerbiders on here as well. I spent $50 bidding on a $230 iPod figuring it would give me a darn good chance of winning. Nope. The winner used 81 bids (@ $3.00 each) to win the iPod. I looked through a bunch of their other closed auctions and found many items to be way overbid by the winner.

Save your money, and your time.

I won many great things from this site. Shipping was quick and effortless. However, now the site is slow. Less people are bidding. My last win has not been shipped, it's been nearly two months, and email responce.
These guys are belly up, raking in the last they can, and pocketing it.

I was ripped off by one of these penny auction sites. They are complete scams. You spend money to bid on an item, and you don't even know whether other people are really bidding. Who knows if the items actually exist, and are going to be sent to you? I know I didn't win anything. Ebay is the only legitimate company I know of. These penny auctions are just a scam, don't expect to actually win an item
