best penny auction site is an oxymoron (not technically, but you get the idea)

@carl669: You are right about it being a scam, but don't you pay for each bid that you use on those websites?

Like a $50 iPad could cost one person $50 plus the cost of bids, but cost the entire community that bid on it $1000 in the cost of bids...?

@sizzlestick: Exactly! Quibids charges $0.60 each bid... And you must buy 100 bids to even register.

I strongly advise against spending anything on penny-auction websites. It's not a scam but you have to be really good at timing. This year I got sucked into one of the top penny-auction websites (withholding the name) and I spent around $300-400, spent hours into the night looking for that perfect moment to bid and win but got nothing out of it. Lesson learnt and passing on the advice. Do what you want with your money but these are my two cents.

It's either a scam or it's gambling. I reported one of these to Texas Atty General a few years ago as an illegal gambling operation. Just like the lottery. Someone's going to win, just not you. Greg Abbot's office was not interested.

Penny Auctions are not scams...they are a form of adult entertainment. Some people play bingo or poker or slots or lottery tickets or even day trade in the stock market. Some people would argue that all forms of gambling are bad but in moderation they are just something to do for fun...they are an adrenaline rush. The same rules apply to alcohol and everything else in life...do all things in moderation.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
