Avete mai sentito parlare di MadBid.com? Il sito è recentemente stato sospeso, ma ora funziona di nuovo, io l'ho provato per curiosità, anche attratto da una strategia di marketing moderna e accattivante, ma è solo fumo.......
È un sito molto famoso in Inghilterra che purtroppo sta guadagnando fortissimi consensi anche in Italia grazie alle molte pubblicità ingannevoli con cui stanno inondando i giornali, radio e TV locali ma anche nazionali (anche Repubblica!!)
Un esempio? “Fino al 98% di risparmio sul prezzo reale!”:
Restando in bilico sulla linea che divide legalità ed illegalità i gestori di questo sito sono riusciti a creare una macchina da soldi eccezionale, guadagnando milioni di euro alle spalle di tanti giocatori abbagliati dalla semplicità del gioco e dalla speranza di facili vincite (160 € una Fiat 500?).
Come funziona? È presto spiegato:
Ogni oggetto in palio ha un prezzo iniziale di zero €. Iniziata l’asta, ogni persona che effettua un rilancio può alzare il prezzo solo di un centesimo (esempio: dopo 40 rilanci il prezzo dell’oggetto sarà salito a 40 centesimi, non uno in più, non uno meno), pagando però alcuni crediti per farlo (e qui ci sta il trucco, ma ne parliamo dopo).
Ogni volta che qualcuno rilancia sul prezzo corrente, parte un conto alla rovescia di alcuni secondi (variabile tra i 7 secondi e i 2 minuti)… se al termine del conto alla rovescia nessuno ha rilanciato, l’ultimo concorrente dell’asta si aggiudica l’oggetto al prezzo attuale, generalmente molto più basso del suo prezzo reale.
Facile, vero?
Assolutamente no. Per vari motivi:
1) i partecipanti a queste aste sono MOLTISSIMI, e tanti sono pronti a rilanciare continuamente, presi dall’euforia o dalla rabbia di aver speso un sacco di soldi per nulla;
Schermata di settaggio dei “rilanci autorilanci” alle aste
2) esiste una modalità di “rilancio automatico”, grazie alla quale un giocatore può spegnere il PC facendo in modo che MadBid alzi automaticamente la posta negli ultimi 10 secondi di ogni asta;
3) dopo pochissimi rilanci ci si accorge che si sta spendendo un mare di soldi, quindi se va bene ci si ferma, se va male si cade nella trappola del gioco d’azzardo peggio che con le slot dei bar.
4) in definitiva potete solo perdere mentre i gestori del sito fanno milioni
di sterline alla faccia nostra, girate alla larga!

Looks Dodgy
Surely they will be shut down sooner or later. The fact that Madbid have responded on here to peoples comments and telling them to stop spreading lies just shows how un-professional they are.

No Warren, I'm afraid you're wrong.
If you lose, the money spent is returned to spend in the shop.

BE WARNED. Don't go MADbid
I was drawn in by the hype and regret it, £49.99 later.
Think about it - how is Madbid going to get hold of stock close-outs etc that it can put so many of the latest iPads, iPhones and all the other gadgets and goodies it knows we are addicted to on the market for the likes of you and I to get one at a tenth of the RRP. They are in a similar position as a bookmaker at the race track and get us all to bet against each other. They buy one iPad/iPhone for say £100 and get 100 000 suckers like me to bid at 10p a pop in the forelorn and witless hope of getting it for a tenner. Think again - ONLY ONE PERSON CAN WIN IT at this price.
If there were these massive stockouts/production overruns/warehouse surpluses don't you think TKMAXX would have got there first?
I haven't used my credits, there is nothing I want to buy that they have at £49.99 and their rules say no refunds. So I will just use up the credits asap and write off the loss to experience - but my advice is DON'T do it.
After losing the will to live reading your convoluted Ts&Cs, I saw this bit - and I quote from those Ts&Cs :
" Note: "Bids Back" is not a refund of the money spent to purchase these Credits. The money paid is not refundable and can only be used on the MadBid.com site to buy a product from our Shop."
"THE MONEY PAID IS NOT REFUNDABLE" is quite clear to me, which is why I haven't bothered to apply for a refund. If you say I can get a refund, will you refund the money I've paid? Please.

Thank you for your feedback.
Can you confirm you understand that refunds are given for unused credits packages?

Scam
Fake articles promoting Mad Bid, unauthorized use of logo's on their site to gain credibility, bidding bots and employees to raise the prices, its pure gambling. Seen something being sold for 10 eur? That are 1000 cents. 1000 bids. Given that a credit will cost you about 0,15 eur AND that you need about 6 credits to bid on a decent item it's costing you 0,90 eur for a 1 cent bid. Remember that 10 eur item? Even if madbid sells it for 10 eur they already took 1000 bids from their customers to pay for the item. Yes, 900 EUR in the pocket for Madbid. Well, 910 EUR to be precise. So you have to be MAD to bid here and facilitate this scam.
UPDATE
PROOF? You didn't learn math in school? Anyway, Sunday Times, The Independent, Sunday Mirror doesn't have the articles/quotes mentioned. Oh, I'm sorry, The Mirror has a sponsored article about MadBid including the fake Facebook comments. The Guardian has an article about Madrid but sadly, it's not sponsored and therefore NOT POSITIVE. Title is gold: "How MadBid buyers can end up paying twice the price".

ALL logo's and articles are real.
If you have fact's to prove otherwise, please contact us? If not, please not spreading lies.
