    Hi
    I went on this site yesterday for the first time and won 3 cordless panasonic phones for £0.43p, they have a RRP of £70.00. I used free credits to bid and payed the £0.77p admin fee.

    I have now deleted my account and will not return after making a cool profit :-)


    Hi Just like you I've won 3 items in 1 day, the best thing to do is bid for more credits at first.Then just watch the bidding before you start!! :T But it takes patience!! If you run of bids, they'll text/email you with a credit offer. Bid for the 'low' items first. If your willing to pay the postage, you can get some bargins ;) Don't use all your credits on 1 item, unless you really need it. Good luck

    Does anyone have experience with madbid.com ?

    I read in London Metro today they show various cases such as:
    - iPad 2 32GB + 3G RRP: 499 sold £155.47
    - iPhone $S 16 GB, RRP £499, sold £44.28
    - There are a lot more on page 60.

    What I am interested to know is the likely chance to win the bid in that price...

    Is there anytool such as "sniper tool" that might help the bid process such as those available to eBay??

    Thank you ...
  • its all a big scam. where they make atleast 4x profit on the item, only the winner (final bidder) benefits and madbid themselves. and i also heard that when no one is bidding they put their own people in the bids to increase the price of the product.

    what shocks me is that they even got a misleading tv product. : (

    costs a fortune in credits and you don't tend to win - avoid it

    Well there is a high possibility to do this in the site like this ....

    Hopefully someday, they will get caught ....

    I really wish people would learn the meaning of the word scam.
    Whether you agree with, like, or dislike madbid it's not a scam. You enter into the bidding knowing that you're paying to bid and might not win. If you do win you pay your winning bid price and get your goods. There is no 'scam'.
