penny auction scams

I have to admit...I was quickly excited when I found my first so called "penny auction". But I soon realized that many of these guys use automated bots to bid against you to raise the price.

Some sites don't even let you win anything!They just let you keep bidding and bidding...

What a waste!

Stay away from scam penny auctions! Buyer beware!

Will let you know some sites that are worthwhile in my next posts...
