Wow what a scheme. Just think 1000 people bid a penny which costs .80 and he gets to keep the pennies after it is won and one person gets the item. They are making a lot and this is like a lotto to me. Have to agree with Candace . I guess it is legal in some states. Oh well, if you do it enjoy. I tend to stick to ebay.
OK I will ask. Brain thinking here. If you bid on an item that is worth 5.00 and you bid two pennies which is 1.60 then whoever wins it for that got a great deal, then he gets to keep the other pennies others bid and lost so a dollar item could get net him 20.00+ . Sigh...................
