Skoreit is like the stock market... don't get into it unless you're willing to really dive into it without regret. Dont put in money if youre not willing to lose it. I, personally, play on skoreit a lot and have even hit the cap of 12 wins per 28 days (yes, they cap how much you can win to give others a shot). I have put in about $300+ all together, but with the auctions I've won, I've saved around $500+ (my winnings include an IPad for $34 total including shipping and cost of bids used to win it, a new gen IPod Nano for $15 total with shipping and bids, plus a flip camcorder and various gift cards and precious metals). For one, it is not a scam or a rip off. People like to just call it that because they either don't understand the concept or are sore losers. It is accredited by the Better Business Bureau with an A- rating (according the BBB, the only reason it's A- is that it hasn't been around for very long). Yes, there are power bidders, but power bidders do not equal shill bidders. People who complain about using bid agents and say they use up all your bids, don't know how to use them with proper strategies. Are penny auctions, in general, for everyone? No, they aren't. But this particular one definitely isn't a scam. I'll leave this link as further argument against all the skoreit naysays http://pennyburners.com/community/showthread.php?t=857
