Has anyone used Ofetta.com?

Saw an advert in the TV guide for Ofetta.com. It seems like eBay, but you have to pay for bids. The prices seem a bit "too good to believe", especially with the cashback deal! Has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) of this setup?

Any thoughts appreciated...

its a reverse Auction which as one of the regulars here says is a 'Tax on the Stupid'

Thanks for the support Terri, and for giving a sensible answer to a genuine question - I guessed it was fishy, but wanted some confirmation

These are just gambling sites, not shopping or selling sites.

If you can keep this in mind then fair enough, but generally they are just a tax on the stupid.

"yeay - I got a PS3 for £25, and I only had to buy £600 worth of bids..."

What a rude response to someone wanting an opinion from the forum!
Is the person who posted that response going to think that anyone who asks for advise is also 'plugging' a particualar site?
Actually I was going to ask the same thing myself but see that someone else beat me to it.
It does look too good to be true.
