!I'm curious what it really looks like when you bid online so I registered at Sharky bids. The starting prices of all auctions are 0.00 with NO RESERVE. Every time a bid is placed a little bit of time is added to the auction timer to give other interested users the chance to bid as well. This simulates the feeling that you would get in a real brick and mortar auction house- Going, GOING....GONE!
I don't know if all auction online works the same way as in Sharky Bids. It works this way:
1. Register for free. Activate your email to receive 1 free bid.
2. Purchase a bid package . Receive 25% extra with first purchase. I choose 30 bids for ฿594.00 and each bid costs ฿19.80 !

3. Place the bid on your chosen auction raising the price by 0.01.
4. Each bid raises the item price by 0.01 and 15 seconds to the auction timer . When the auction timer shows GONE , whoever named as the "Latest Bidder" is the winner!
I bidded for Apple iPad 3G 64GB and waited for other bidders to get exhausted physically and financially so that I could have a chance to get this brand new high quality products at only a fraction of their retail cost. Guess what! I waited for more than 5 long hours and I totally get exhausted physically and financially
. I had no more bids to place so I didn't win and the winner win it for only ฿35.80 (market price is ฿27, 390) ! Someone just won Nikon D90 at SharkyBids.com for only ฿42.69. Bargains like this happen everyday at SharkyBids! But winning at SharkyBids is sooooo impossible to me. I don't have all the day to bid ,I don't have all the resources to purchase bids and I won't take the risk of losing great amount of money for nothing. It's only for those bargain hunters who are willing to take risks to win big!
At this site you can bid for flat-screen TVs, laptops, cameras , computers and accessories ( I'm not sure yet if they have printer for bid. I'm actually looking for tm-t88iv ) and game consoles as well as jewelry and gift cards for prices that start as low as a penny.
So when somebody asked me now about bidding online, I have something to share already and it's quite n experience!

This site has concrete evidence revealing SharkyBid is a scam site.
Simply visit:

You have spend 5 hours which means 300 minutes (5x60) or 18,000 seconds (300 x 60). Since each bid increases 15 second, total no. of bidding is estimated at 1,200 (18,000/15). If each bid cost B$19.80 the owner get B$23,760. So the owner did not loose much because market price is only B$27,390.
If we work the other way round as follows:
Winning bid B$42.69 and the bid increase by B$0.01 then the no. of bidding is 4,269 (42.69/0.01). The owner gets B$84,526.20 (4269 x 19.8). So the owner make a huge profit. Eventhough one bidding (I means a person) win with B$42.69 there are 4,268 person (I means bidding) lost their money. SO IT IS A SCAM. JUST LIKE POKER ONE PERSON WIN THE OTHERS LOST.

600 bids and didn't win anything? That must hurt. I think i would be away from this website!
