Great site, but just be aware of their trap pages approach (search for quibids traps for more details). I took notes and tallied the '$200 choose it' gift cards for Friday, Sept 16 between my account shown only trapped pages to a new user on a different computer with full access to the site (as a new user would experience). Here are the stunning results:
Final price for all auctions of this $200 gift card during this period on 9.16:
$1.67
$9.13
$18.13
$10.86
$2.39
$2.64
$3.07
$47.29
$1.67
$21.88
$3.31
$0.88
$14.28
$55.37
And only three auctions for "trapped users" in the same period.
$9.13
$47.29
$55.37
Less auctions would be OK to deal with, but look at the price differential between the auctions:
Full access users auction avg price: $7.34
Trapped users avg price: $37.26
Wow. Five fold higher. Buyer beware!
