BidFire

This site has fraud written all over it! It claims huge saving by showing you that the customer has just won an item for $9.50, in fact the bid was $950.00 US dollars. Each bid is ONE US DOLLAR not one cent as it shows on there website. Also the "30 second rule", you'll love this. Just watch the bidding get down to the last 30 seconds or so. This could go on for hours. My advise to ALL, this site is very misleading and almost criminal

I have bid for and won an ipod nano, 25 bids, and a fuji film digital camera for all under $100 including the amount I payed for the bids! This site has saved me a ton of money. There is no way I could have gotten these items new for that price. You just have to pic your items wisely. If you don't have a lot of money or bids, don't bid on the expensive stuff, just pick the smaller items. But if you have a couple hundred dollars to spend on bids there is a good chance you could get a $500 Ipad for $200.

I watched a couple kindle dx auctions both times it was obvious that inside bidders are both pumping the real bidders for all their cash and also that the inside bidders are also the "winners". They stay on as long as there are outside bidders bidding and then as soon as the real bidders finally give up and leave the last two insiders go back a forth a couple times and then one conveniently quits. I've seen it happen with each auction i've monitored. STAY AWAY! I would love to be able to find out if amazon ever gets any orders for the product from this site. I'll bet not. This is utter scam.

Bidfire is insane. You have to buy bids at a dollar a pop. There are only a few items up for bid. Every bid starts the timer again at 45 seconds. It is virtually impossible unless you have an unlimited amount of bids because you are competing with people all over the place. If you're gonna buy bids, then you might as well fork over them money and buy the product outright. SCAM! They are making a killing out of people buying bids who will never get a chance to win!

I am going to disagree with all the negative comments. This is NOT a scam site. I have won 2 awesome items at fantastic prices. One being a new Kindle DX. I won the item for $6.80, bought $20 in bids (20 bids each is a dollar) and paid 9.99 for shipping so my $489 kindle cost me $36.79. That's a great deal! I have also won a new I pod touch 64 gb for 1.65, another great deal (with bids and shipping spent $22.65) Sure I have bid on other items and won nothing but that is the rules of the auction.No one HAS to bid or buy more bids. Sounds like a lot of these complaints are from people who are disgruntled at having not won anything. For me... I will be going back to bidfire for more.

Brilliant business Model. 20 to 1 gain on each dollar bid. Also, people think they "have a chance" to win stuff drastically under retail. There's a chance, but it's a small one. To win, you have to be lucky, end of story. You can have a great strategy, i. E. wait till a few people have bid over 100 times so it's less likely they will be able to financially keep bidding, and then go in with 100 or 200 bids. But, new people can always jump in, bid 5 time after you've bid 200, and you give cut your losses and give up. The winners who make out well bid on small ticket items that few people bid on, or those who bid hundreds on times on big ticket items and get lucky enough that another big bidder doesn't join them near the end of their threshold. Have fun, but don't try to use bidfire to make profits...

Pretty cool website with lots of cool electronics auctioned off daily. I tried it out by buying a $100 bid package and ended up winning an auction on a $399 (retail price) iPod Touch 64GB which included a 50 bid package. My final bid was $51.56. Even though I used up all the original 115 bids plus the 50 free bids later and spent $151.56, I did end up with a really nice iPod that would have cost me $400. This is gaming in every sense, so you won't always win, but it's really cool when you do.

Alot of you are saying this is a scam site. Find one person that won and hasn't received or isn't happy with what they won. I personally have won an Amazon Kindle for a fraction of its price, among other things. It's kind of like BINGO, yes you pay to play and someone IS going to win. There is some skill as well as some luck involved, but if you keep at it you will probably get what you're after. I did! Thanks to Bid fire. (Kenny)

I would say stay away from these types of websites. It's similiar to online gambling. You pay for bids just for a slim chance to win something.

Who really knows if this stuff is real or legit but you can be assured that you will spend money to try to win and that will cost you in the end. I would say just stay away from anything like this. Save your money and use legit sites, like ebay.

If you have found a way for the site to work for you and thinks its safe, then do it. I just don't like the idea of paying money for a chance to win and possibly being out that money. It's not for me. But could be for you, that's your call.

Bidfire is legit as I have won and received merchandise, ie I won a Kindle dx for less than $40, including bids and shipping. I have seen stuff go dirt cheap and other stuff go high, not in actual purchase value, but in amount of bids placed. It is not a scam, just competitive shopping, not much different than a raffle ticket system. I will back up Miranda W, have seen her win cheap, and go whole hog on something before (a kindle battle). There are times before you win something that you will think there are bots and that there is a scam. Been there. When I thought that there was a bot, I emailed support and got an immediate response. I was very pleased with the support. A thumbs up. But be warned, the site is picking up, and items have gotten more competitive. Study before you bid and have fun.
