Bidgunner.com Experiences?

So I was checking budsgunshop.com for 45 ACP ammo, and I see someone bought a Beretta PX4 Storm 40 for $20. $20?!?! Holy crap, really? This is too good to be true. I go to the website. Apparently, you buy bid packs and place bids on guns and gear at a penny auction. If you win you pay the low dollar amount (plus however many bids you used). They also have a buy now option where if you lose the auction you click BUY NOW! and it calculates the cost of your bids and discounts that from the retail amount. If the item is a Glock that retails for $550 and you spent $50 on bids you pay $500. The website itself has very mixed reviews though. I don't want to risk any money on scams. Has anyone used it before?

It's basically gambling. You may find more feedback about the bigger "penny auction" sites like Beezid, they're all the same deal.

Yea, that's what I thought. I heard a lot of people reporting damages, which only made me more hesitant.

All of those penny auction sites make their money from the people who do not win the item. As Speed said, it is essentially gambling and is setup in their favor for them to win. I would advise sticking away from them.

It is worse than trying to win an Ebay auction. I believe that most of them have a 30 second rule or something like that. If a bid comes in within the last few seconds then they add another 30 seconds. To me that is BS. If you can't get your bid in before the auction expires, to bad.

Yeah, they add the extra time to stop snipers from outbidding folks in the last seconds of the auction. It's aggravating when I'm the sniper but helpful when I be da snipee. Definitely helps the seller (and auction site) realize more profit.
