[QUOTE=THE_TRUTH;37528][MENTION=2441]Goodtiming420[/MENTION] you mentioned about the IPOD, well, I was talking aboout how they also apparently OVERCHARGE for shipping and handling. There is an IPOD coming up and they want $19.99 to ship it ??:think: [B]WHY so much for shipping for such a lightweight item[/B] ?????:rant: Also, I am sure the people who still go to the website have seen the current IPAD that is "going and going and going" ??

CONGRATS, you just got free bids! The shipping is cheap. They hire 4 people full-time to do the HANDLING. When not handling, they are copying/pasting pictures from Amazon while not looking at the Amazon prices. CONGRATS, you just got free bids again! But anyway, the HANDLING experience is one of the cool, unique features that makes IBN2S different from traditional penny auctions. Did you see the $20 gift card that we sold today?? Crikey, these deals are insane!

[QUOTE=THE_TRUTH;37519]@skoreitplayer, I found the same item on amazon.com judging by the photo and description, it even has the same 2nd as it does on ibid2save.com Here is the link for that item : [url="http://www.amazon.com/U-S-Divers-Seabreeze-Snorkel-Proflex/dp/B0039NZBJA/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1337194851&sr=8-11"]Amazon.com: U.S. Divers Adult Icon Mask/Seabreeze Snorkel/Proflex Open Heel Fins/ Gearbag: Sports & Outdoors[/url] it sells for between: $35.94 - 44.95 on amazon.com plus a shipping of course. Now for the price on ibid2save.com auction price is: 44.90 shipping is: 13.99 combined equals: 58.89 plus auction price as well which for me was .02 for a total of 58.91 and that also includes those precious 500 promo bids !![/QUOTE] So you got your answer - I would expect that you can get it shipped free from Amazon as well. But, this is a really great opportunity for you to HAVE FUN and purchase that item at a higher than market cost. Pretty cool feature - the best part is that your stats will show you that you saved 99% or something absurd.

[QUOTE=ibid2SAVE Brent;37512]Market value I believe is the price at which there is a willing buyer and a willing seller, not the cheapest price it is available.[/QUOTE] It's the price point where supply meets demand. There will be lower prices available, e.g., craigslist and higher prices available, e.g., IBN2S - but the market equilibrium is where the price converges. I will give you this - people are having so much fun that they are playing in your auctions JUST for fun, and refusing to buy their wins. It's a unique penny auction experience, that's for sure.
