Has anyone ever used this online auction site?

Hi all,

I am talking about madbid.com

I've come across it a couple of times and recently saw it advertised on the TV.
Does anyone have any thoughts about madbid.com please?

Thanks for any replies:):beer:

    It's not an "online auction site", it's a gambling site.
    You spend money but there is no guarantee that you will end up with a product.

    I think 'con men' is a bit harsh, I don't/haven't/wouldn't use it but they do do what they say. Some people can come off well, obviously most don't, but probably has better odds than the lottery or scratchcards. I think someone has termed it a "tax on the stupid".
