swipebids.com/index.php Swipebids only swipes your money Penny Auction Site Deceptive costly registration process Totally deceptive bidding process involving false bidders to inflate the bidding process Internet
This online penny auction site deceptive and expensive sign up to be member with bidding rights. Pricing of auction items are normally exagerated but the real reason for my complait is to report the apparent fraud in their bidding process which i can only believe to be phony bidders to inflate the sales prices. I witness a bidding process on top end Mac computer over a period of 24 hrs It appeared to be hotly contested and was always being defended by one persons screen name by an autobidder process I witnessed this same screen name purchase more of the penny bid packs from the sites main page to the extent of $800 to $1000 per hour till this screen name dropped out of bidding after 24 hours of this autobidding. Other hopefull bidders took over after this screen name dropped out and i witnessed a different screen name win the auction. Since the bidding process called penny bids is missleading the actual price to the bidder is $5.00 per bid to stay in this type of auction and the price shown as the selling price is only raised by one penny per $5.00 bid the actual revenue generated from a sale price shown as $260.00 would have been in the $130,000 if every bid was ligitimate. My impression of the longtime autobidder that i watched while puchasing all the bid packs at full retail was one of sympathy believing the cost to him to defend bid to be $25,000 and knew he would not be back to this site again Well i was wrong even though the winning bidder was another screen name the namme wasnt listed in the winners area but this original screen name was there for the same item. The reason i suspect this bider is false is that it was back in auctions 10 hours after losing the original Mac Pro book and was betting on other high cost items , If it walks and quacks like a duck it may just be a duck !
