these penny auction sites are not such a scam. you just need patience and free time. i know someone who buys lots of things and then resells them on ebay for a nice profit.

Patience for what? to see your "penny" (which cost you more like .30 everytime you bid) bids go up in smoke?

The site can always implement phantom bidders that'll outbid you, there'd be no way for you to know they aren't.

It's true that most are a scam, but I made out wonderfully on the now defunct GoBid.com.  Of course, since they operated honestly they are now OOB :-)

the sites can make phantom bidders but the legit ones don't. quibids has been written about in a lot of established magazines like the NY times and forbes. you need patience to keep on bidding. it costs more than a penny obviously but if you really thought that it was only a penny then you are an idiot. i know someone who got an ipad for less than 200 bucks and then sold on ebay for 450!
