After seeing numerous ads on tv about dealdash, I decided to check it out. Once I joined, I purchased 2 of the smallest bid packages at discount prices. I found something of interest to bid on (150 bids plus a $200. Amazon gift card) for which they had the same item at more then double the value sell for $28.00. Rather then use the bidbuddy I pretty much sat there for nearly two days watching the item only bidding when I felt the need. At the start there were numerous bidders but approximately 5 that seemed to be using bid buddy. The bidding continued for nearly two days with 1 player bidding from the start and about 2 others coming in and out from the start. It was obvious they were using the bid buddy which places a bid for you every 10 seconds, which equals 6 bids per minute or 360 per hour. At a discount price of .16/per bid that amounts to $57.60 per hour or at the regular price of .60/bid and amount of $216.00 per hour. Now if you multiply those amounts by the number of hours you continue to bid you are looking at quite a large bit of money you are spending. The final bid was won at around $130.00 which equals 13,000 bids and at .16/bid that comes to $2080.00 the company made on a $225.00 valued item. Now who in their right mind would pay nearly ten times the price for something? That alone should be proof enough that the company is using "ghost" bidders generated by them.
Another thing I noticed on a couple of items up for bid was where there was only one person bidding every ten seconds yet they didn't win the bid whereas if someone doesn't outbid you before the 10 seconds is up you are supposed to win the bid!
This site really needs to be investigated and shut down!
