Addicting Web site

Got an Email yesterday from QuiBids to join their auction site. So I purchased some bids. Bad thing you have sit there and bid if you ever have a chance to win. The bidding really starts when the clock get down to 20 sec or less and then every time you hit bid it adds 20sec to the time. Each bid cost roughly .60 but you can get things cheap. Where the make their money is on the bids, .60 every time the bid button is pushed.. Every time someone bids the price goes up by any where form .01-.20, the price starts a 0.00 so you can pick up stuff cheap. I tried last night for 2 hours to win a copy of Microsoft Home Office whic sold for $13.50 with bid increments of .02. When I run out of bids that I bought I am out of there.
I have a life.

Aren't sites like that a total scam?

I am down to 1 bid left. Don't plan on buying any more bids. The thing i bid that went for $17.50 had over $575 worth of bid for something you could buy retail for $125-$150. I am sure they didn't pay anywhere close to that for the Item. I say one Item go for 2 hours after the time go down to 20sec and people started bidding. I have pens to turn, kits and blanks to buy can't be wasting time on money on stuff I don't need or realy want.
