Just like Swoopo - a no win situation. Just check out these threads:

- Just about any tv commericial is a marketting ploy to make you poorer and them richer.
Don't fall for buying things from commericials.
If you don't need it - don't buy it.
Always google the name of a company followed by the words
scam, complaint, rip-off.
Always check a store first - I have NEVER ever seen anything cheaper online, than at a store.
Most stores always match an online price.

These sites tend to get a lot of bad press because people become addicted to them, so in reply to your question, yeh its true, and yeh, they work... but so does a roulette table in a casino, or a fruit machine in a bar.
ReplyDeleteMadbid, Swoopo etc, stay well away - they are extremely well established, and therefore have an astrnomical amount of userscompeteing for the same items, making it near impossible for you to win.
If you are going to try one of these sites, try one that has only recently been established. Less users + less competitiveness = bigger chance of winning.
Here's a site that is fairly new and is definitely easier to get bargains from. www.spree4.com - Ive won a few things on there and saved quite a lot (Wii, £50 Amazon voucher). These sites are all about control though. You musn't go in and bite off more than you can chew. Control your spending.
Either way, as i mentioned, with these auction sites, its best to always look for the most recently launched to have a better chance of getting something.
Good luck if you're gonna try it out.
