I have been with Quibids for about 6 months now and at first it was very challenging but after reading thru the Quibids 101 section I began have soon success. I've actually been able to win large and small items at a great value and was able to purchase items I did not win. In all auctions there are only one winner so there are going to be upset people ( I've been that guy) but I'm proof that if you just time your time to learn and must be willing to buy it now you can succeed. Their are power players but you learn to avoid those people and if you understand all your doing is shopping then you shouldn't be upset for only paying retail. You can't over pay on an item unless your using voucher bids and those are lost money anyways as far as I see it. You already gambled that money
