Edited the title of this thread. http://www.guns4pennies.com/ is hte proper site. The OP had gun4pennies which is a site that attempts to download a trojan to your pc.

Its a penny auction site. Yes, you can win the item for that cheap, however you also pay each time you bid.

It seems like Quibids and gunbroker had a baby.

 

You have to "buy" bids. As in you buy 20 bids, then can bid 20 times against people, except items only go up one cent at a time. So you might buy an M1A for $0.32, but you had to buy sixteen bids at whatever price each bid is. I am guessing $20

has anyone ever won anything from here?

It's basically gambling under the guise of an auction.

As the old timers say "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

Guess this type of stuff is profitable.

 

Just got an email from Buds promoting Bidgunner.com.

yep. I was actually quite shocked to see Buds get into that game. I guess they are expanding their business and creating another source of income as the manufacturers are putting the screws to their business practice.

It's basically gambling under the guise of an auction.

 

That's what it looks like to me. This is the first time I've seen this. I guess 100 people spend $20 in bids and somebody walks off with a a $300 scope for $40 while the auction and the seller split $2,040.

 

Are bids indeed roughly $1 a piece? Wow. How can I sell crap on there? It looks like I can't, I can only gamble my money. I didn't know I could get in the casino business so easily. I don't even have any Indian blood in me.
