We just found BidNow24 from Yahoo Answers:

This amazing new penny auction concept is allowing us to stretch reality and make the impossible possible.?

The penny auction website BidNow24.com, which has in recent weeks shocked America with its outrageous bargain prices and unique auction concept, has now once again stunned users and the auction community. This week, BidNow24.com announced they will attempt to sell tickets to space for just under $250!

Sold Bargains on BidNow24.

When asked, the founder of the penny auction site said, “This amazing new penny auction concept is allowing us to stretch reality and make the impossible possible. We’ve decided to really make something happen here. We believe no product is beyond our reach and we’re proving it with space travel.”

Only three weeks since the site’s launch, the bargain auction site has witnessed massive flows of visitors. Spurred by social media, borne of buzz from blog posts and You Tube videos posted by happy auction winners, BidNow24.com does not disappoint, offering incredible deals on popular products. With thousands of new users and hundreds of amazing bargains sold, BidNow24 has quickly become the leading penny auction website in the US and Europe.

In bad economic times, everyone is out looking for a bargain.

BidNow24’s penny auctions provide plenty. Users all over the countries have found brand new $5 iPods, $10 laptops and even super sized HDTV´s for just under $30. These ridiculous prices have spawned a wave of publicity and have quickly drawn attention from online shopping and auction communities.

For those who are yet not familiar with BidNow24.com’s unique Penny Auction concept, it works like this:

1. Each bid on an item raises the price with only a penny.
2. There’s a small fee for each bid placed which helps BidNow24.com fund free shipping, charity program and keep the prices so ridiculously low.
3. Each time a new bid is placed, the auction timer “time left” is extended to a few minutes in order to let other users place a higher bid if they wish.
4. If no one places a higher bid than yours within the time countdown period, you win the auction and get to buy the item for the ridiculously low price!

All the items sold on BidNow24 are brand new and come with factory or retail warranties.
Shipping is completely free and the final sale price (usually a few bucks) is donated to a charity of the user´s choice.

When asked about what BidNow24 plans to do next, the founder of the site responded, “There’s no saying in what will happen next, I guess we´ll just have to wait and see. But until then, let the auction clocks ring and the bargains fly!”

Wow did you just read that? With thousands of new users and hundreds of amazing bargains sold, BidNow24 has quickly become the leading penny auction website in the US and Europe.


If BidNow24 really has the venture capital to give away tickets to space for $250 why did they skim on their website,   and why are they advertising on Yahoo Answers?

BidNow24 —A New Kind of Online Auction?

Many of you are familiar with the standard online auction. The seller places a item up for auction, he may or may not set a minimum price, and there’s a certain amount of time that the buyer has to place bids. The highest bid wins the item, and a majority of the time the winning bid is placed within the last few seconds of the auction.
I’ve purchased everything from a MP3 player to borders for bedrooms on sites like this—most of the time you cannot beat the price.
A new player has entered the arena, however. They’re called BidNow24.com, and though most of the online auction rules are still in play, there are some significant differences.
First, the amounts.
If you’ve ever been in other auctions you know that you pick a maximum amount and then the system will auto bid in increments to up to that maximum bid. With BidNow24.com that’s different. Each bid is for 0.01. Yep— each bid is a penny. But the trick is that each bid also costs the bidder $0.50.
So, it’s not to your advantage to bid multiple times on an item because of how much it will cost you, but the price of the item on sale will be significantly less than you would get it anywhere else. That’s why this site is called a “Penny Auction Site.”
Next, shipping.
Shipping is always free!
And then, the time limit.
Sniping is an art-form. There are programs out there to automatically submit bids at the end of an auction. There are people that camp out on threads and discuss tactics. With BidNow24.com, the time is kept in a totally different way.
After each bid, a clock is reset to give someone else a chance to bid again. The time can be anywhere between 10 sec. and 20 minutes after the last bid, depending on the item, so you don’t have to worry about losing the item at the last second.
Last, charity.
A large portion of the revenue generated from Bidnow24.com is sent to the charity of the buyer’s choice. This is a neat way of giving back.
So, if auctions interest you, or you’d like to see what kinds of things and prices they have, go check out Bidnow24.com!

    How many penny auction sites have you seen with users using real names? And all of these users winning? Winning user names on BidNow24: David, Hayden, Landon, Jaden, Miguel, Elizabeth, Christopher, Noah, Carter, Emma, Jeremiah, Joseph, Isabella, Ava, a JJJ, Ohrc1, Smith45, Joshua, Anthony, Aiden, Antonio, Sarah, Xx, Ryan, Matthew, Yy, Vh4gh, Ole67, Melissa, Abigail and more, but the majority are all real first names. It’s pretty obvious these are bots…

    They can’t say the only usernames allowed are real names because we registered with a nickname.

    We just bid using the 3 free bids that they give each new member and after we were out of our three free all of the bidders with the first names kicked in.  The auction just ended with user Natalie being the winner. A total of 33 bids were placed, the most bids ever received on a single auction at BidNow24.

    If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

    And BidNow24, in our opinion looks  like they could be using autobidders.

    What do you think?

    That’s why online pharmacies is becoming more pops over the last years. Well-known are remedies which are used to reduce inflammation caused by inflammation of the skeletal muscle etc. There were only few examples. Did somebody tell you about canadian generic Viagra? Maybe you along know about the question. Sexual dysfunction can be a result of a physical condition. Even when it has a physical cause, psychological problems can make the disorder worse. Sex drive problems are so commonly a product of how you feel that there is something to that “headache” saying after all.

      It looks like there is no sign of the past auction for the free bids at the URL:
      http://www.bidnow24.com/100bidpackage_807.html?Sc

      Are they altering past auctions? It sure looks like they found this post and took down the offending auction (and the copied images from BidRodeo.com). If they were legit, why would they take down past auctions?

      I bought 300 credits to bid, and the same thing, all auctions end in a range of $0.04 to $0.10 but the one where i placed my bids end in $5,74!!!! a plasma tv for $0.02 but a PSP3000 with more than 570 bids?!?!?!?! So after this i fill a claim in PayPal and they refund my money, i guess every single person who bought from this scam site must fill a complaint in PayPal, also in IC3 and BBB.

      Please DO NOT PURCHASE any product from this scam site, you will lost your time and maybe your money.
