I agree that you need to have reasonable expectations for the site; Bidcactus suggests watching for a while before you try bidding, and in fairness, every learning curve involves mistakes, which as my uncle always said "cost time, pain, money, or some combination of the three." I am going to watch again to see if a "shadow entity" is really bidding "500 times" on a $50 gift card, but I don't see why an auction site would risk losing credibility when it is going to make money legitimately. Aside from that possibility, I see potential to win a few things that are worth the cash. If I were to make one criticism, though, it would be "why do we have to pay. 75 to bid? Couldn't it be. 10 for penny auctions, and maybe. 20 or. 25 for the. 10 auctions...? And is Bidcactus a CITI company? I get a CITI(bank) favicon in my address bar when I'm there. Who can tell me this?
