Congrats to bigman701 and boredncrazy for kicking my butt in dibzees!! Unluckily i was out of bids otherwise i was not going to give up;)
Got my DSi!! Love this site so much!!!!
Angelducky,
I saw you bidding on amazon card which you won on that day..i was about to bid on that card but then saw you on their so didn't bid on it..as we are the PAWer's!!;) and fortunately you the got the best deal!! 4 cents?? lol..congrats!!
haha..i wonder if dibzees is really making any money?? I saw so many auctions which went under 50 cents..some even went for 5- 10 cents..I haven't tried BargainsAndFun..will give it a try! Good Luck for future winning![]()
Good win btw. If I figure right believe that you at least broke even.
Actually +$70 However I believe I was shilled or tag teamed, infact I would bet that Kindle on it. I lost count at 6 times that Sa**y and suegives** traded the batton at 0:00 and not once did either of them bid together at 1-second that is near mathmatically impossible that that kind of coordination could happen without communication. Sues main run ran it up to breakleven for the house and then she basically dropped out. Even more interesting is she throttled to whole way and would suddenly quit. out of 1000 plus bid sue and sassy only bid together a few times. I do not know much about sa**y however sue has bid against me at least 25 times and lost every time, she has done that with a couple other bidders there yet she still bids against them and runs the auctions up. Why would she even think twice spending those kinds of bids against me (I am not being ****y just logically realistic). She also bids their just about everynight and rarely wins yet I have not seen her on any other sites bidding?
I like the Dibzee boys, and have trusted this site in the past however this was a corrupt auction or the craziest cooincedence I have ever seen.
PAW I am sorry for using names but it is relevent to my suspicions.
Boredncrazy I would like to hear your thoughts?

Well I am not bnc but i know that one of those bidders is a member here on paw. It was a strange bidding cycle going on. The other bidder that has been on site for a while I just scratch my head about bidding practices, I have seen this person bid against you many times against bnc a few and against me some, and lose. I know that I did catch a user who had used 4 different accounts against me on a best buy and dibzees looked into it and found out I was correct. I also like them at Dibzees and have sent them emails about certain practices and they have always responded back to me quickly.
Hi bid-to-2-too-win,
I am Sassy and I can assure you there was no tag teaming on my part. I do not have a clue who that sue is. Never heard of her & never seen her on any other PA I am a member of.
People bid so darn fast on there, so I would wait & bid when it looked to be winding down. The other bidder kept coming back for more, so I would wait again. I think that main one who was bidding against you may have gone & bought bids again, cuz she came back several times along with that final guy who bid, learn.....
To be honest, I did think Oh God I bet he thinks he's being worked over! I agree it was odd how many times she came back & would blast out a bunch of bids, stop, wait & do it again. I have seen some crazy bidders though, so nothing much really surprises me anymore.
You are a mean bidderCONGRATS on winning MY Kindle
Hope this clears the auction air for you. If not, let me know. Be happy to share my credentials with you. Not seen this sue in paw either?
OMG... I just read that you said you would bet your Kindle on it! Does that mean I get it after all? LOL

Also remember btw that they have went to 7 day cycle for wins limits now and not m-sun. There have done my good deed for the day.![]()
I know Sa**y is a member you never know though could be imposter or another one, but it was scary how seamingly quardinated it was. However Sue I have always had doubts. I agree the Dibzee boys have communicated well but when bidders show patterns of shilling you have to question it.
You didn't scroll down.... I am the Real Sassy & I was bidding on the Kindle tonight.

Sue was more my concern like I said I have beat her 25 times at least and she keeps comming back for more. She should know I have never lost an auction, so it baffles me why she did that. Also odd her main bid streak ended right at the point the auction broke even for the house and she went from full throttle to no throttle. Like I said I have always trusted dibzees but on any other site would be very fishy. 800 plus auctions my wife and I have won i have never seen this many oddities in a single auction on a legit site.
Robert just called and told me about the recent posts on this thread and we are very surprised and concerned about these (near) allegations. We have always aimed to be completely up front and honest with all of our customers and feel that trust is the most important thing in this business. It is very awkward to be falsely accused of something like this when it is so difficult to prove without violating privacy or annoying the customers in question. With that being said, we want to prove that we are honest and have absolutely NO auto-bidding/shilling in whatever way possible. A few of you and others that frequent this site makeup some of our most valuable customers and if you do not believe in the integrity of our site then we will really be in trouble. We are open to absolutely ANY ideas to prove our legitimacy. How have disputes like this been settled in the past? B-t-w please call us if you'd like and we can speak about this further. If anyone else would like our phone number to answer any questions, please email us at [email protected] or post you can also post questions here for us.
Thank you,

HelloI bid as elocin on Dibzees and I just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
BTW, the bidder that you spoke about continues to bid against me as well, over and over and has never won. I've wondered, like you, why she continues to do so but I've thought that maybe she is just an emotional bidder with a grudge? In no way do I mean to say that I expect to go unchallenged however, she is usually the one to drive up the price of the items I bid on. It doesn't bother me as much as it puzzles me, especially considering the name that she uses to bid with. I have never seen her name on any other PA sites either.
I've spoken to a few members of the Dibzees team recently regarding a minor problem I was having and to offer some input regarding their new site layout. Every one of them has provided excellent customer service. I have no doubt that they will do whatever they can to resolve any problems.
Congrats on your win!![]()
Well then that confirms I was bidding against you on a second auction at sellmoo soon after the terminal one at Dibzees. Are you following me? lol
You won that one too!![]()
Now that I have your user names, I can avoid you like the plague!!!
I am familiar with lightouts. Have seen her bid on Rocky & another site I can't recall right now. She is every bit as mean as you! LOL
Hmm, maybe it's because of that person I wouldn't bid on there anymore. I thought they might be shilling, seemed like somebody was trying to drive up the price.
just look at what you miss when you go to bed
so ---gives-- is getting to everybody lol
she knows she is not going to win but keeps coming
back for more
we battled a couple of times and now she has backed off
she will still bid against me but only a few rounds and she is gone
It took a long time for it to sink in
I have never had a problem with the site and customer service
has always been good
Thank you for the support everyone. Just a couple more things I wanted to point out: a simple google search of that user name will show that she is on at least one other penny auction site. Also, while she may go against power bidders and "give up", she does win a lot. I would guess she's won at least three dozen auctions on our site.
My issues are not that she bid against me but how that auction went down almost as if it was coreographed (sp) I realized she has won items but she has lost way more than won so that is a red flag when she continues to bid against seamingly unbeatable opponents. She is not the only one out there Rodeo has their own Sue who has lost atleast $2000 bidding against me, yet keeps comming back for more, so I know it goes with the territory. Regardless when I see wierd Patterns I will report them not as fact but as suspicion or simply oddities, it does not mean that I have lost trust in your site.
Just the other day I Discoverd that I was wronged because of actions of a site owner and another bidder who was fronted bids to bid against me which ran the auction up way beyond retail and this was probably the most trusted site on PAW so my guard is up. As well as in the past other sites have shilled me and other PB's to drive profits.
I guarantee you there are bidders out there that are bidding under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and with that have very unusual bidding habits and judgment, so I understand that bidding oddities are driven by many factors. (I am not accusing sue of this but just a general observation), but the timeline and patterns last night were as wierd as it gets, especially the bidding transfers at 0:00.

To the Scam Artists: Enough is Enough
Hello BTW, I saw that weird behavior earlier, I bought some bid bids with the intent to check out the site, and then watched her go to work. I was humored and annoyed all at the same time, and just decided I wasn't bidding against someone like that. To top it off, she didn't win an auction
Go figure!!! I'll just have to be on the look out from now on;)
RESPECT
I did a google and she shows up in a couple of auctions
at haggle.com
there is also a buyer on ebay by the same name
so she must be real
I don't know if Bobbisbeau is a member here but congrats on the two wins tonight. I'm not sure but it kind of seemed like they were ganging up on Bobbisbeau. I wanted to jump in to try and help and then saw BTW jump in to help.
I have a question... In situations like that is it ok to jump in and help or is that considered collusion? There have been other times on different sited when I saw similar situations, and wanted to jump in and help but wasn't sure if the person would realize that I was trying to help or if it was even considered ok to do that.
I am not sure. I watched those auctions and know that at the beginning were 2 experienced dibzees bidders, and then at the end 2 newbies. I don't know how others feel about the helping situation but I know that collusion is when 2 or more join forces to gain a desired result. Collusion does happen on many sites but very hard to prove. Patterns must be established and researched. I do know that the Dibzees guys will do their best to keep a fair and honest site. I believe that helping others is a matter of opinion and conscience if seems wrong don't do it, but I will tell you I do appreciate looking out for others.
I was not trying to help out Bobbisbeau I was planning on taking in/her out then I got sidetracked on another site. But doing things like that is not fair to the site, remember Bobbisbeau had the choice to quit so I do not feel bad for anyone. The upside is I doubt those folks will run up on Bobbisbeau again.
LCNSEW you are bidding on a feature auction against 2 bidders that have already hit their win limits. Just an fyi.
you do not jump in an auction to help another bidder win
how could you think that would be acceptable
we all fight our own battles and that is the way it gets done
we have all been in a situation like that and we deal with it on our own
sounds like b--------- might be a friend
Thanks Bigman for that info.
And to BNC, I was asking that question relating to situations when you felt that a player was being double teamed or triple teamed. But then I thought, How that person would even know you were trying to help? They probably would think you were bidding against them. And after hearing BTW's reply and yours, I agree with you both. And
I do not know who Bobbisbeau is. I'm not even sure if he/she is a member here.
Bobbisbeau is a member and a great bidder on many sites. I've lost my butt to her several times.
yes that was one tough battle
