Ok... this is kinda interesting... You guys can go watch it yourself.

From last nite when I opened up the site, I saw this notebook... Alienware M11x Laptop. The price when I saw it was at RM101.29. Then I noticed something very interesting which is the fact that there are always this 2 ppl who is bidding on the item. So I just watched on and thought I could see a winner very soon. The bidding went on and on and on.

In the morning when I woke up, I checked to see if anybody took the notebook yet and to my surprise, its still there and the 2 persons are still fighting for the notebook. I just let it be and went to work. During lunch hour, I again checked the site to see the notebook. I was really shocked when I still see those 2 persons fighting at it. This evening when I got home I looked at it again and what do you know... those 2 persons are still fighting for the notebook. The price now is RM 135.95.

The 2 names are :
1. calvin528
2. armawealth

Lets just say for example... both of them only pushed the price up by around RM30.00 which is 3000 bids. Each would have to at least bid 1500 times. Lets calculate the cheapest they could buy the bids at and give it a really cheap number, which is RM1.20 per bid. That would be RM1.20 X 1500 = RM1800.00. This amount is only for 1 person. Now I'm asking you guys... think about this... who in their right mind will ever do this? Bidding at least RM1800 on the item which only cost RM3699.00 - RETAIL PRICE? Plus be reminded that I only started noticing this when the price was at RM101.29.

I have read about things like this happening on other websites and they say that it is actually a BOT set by the website to bid and outbid people so that they do not have to buy this product for whoever who wins it (which is the bot). I totally doubt that anybody would :
1. Have so much money to bid on this for such a long time.
2. Those 2 persons have been at it for at least more than 24 hours without stopping already.
3. Those 2 persons won't be crazy to do it on this item only. I would have moved on to another better notebook if I had that much money.

Either way, if you think that anybody is crazy enough to do this, then please do tell him to go BUY THE NOTEBOOK YOURSELF. It will definitely cost less than trying to do such a thing.

So in conclusion, I am about 99.95% sure that those 2 names there are either BOTS or they are something which is put on the website so that they will automatically bid at a certain interval or etc. I totally DO NOT believe anyone would be on the computer 24 hours straight without rest or anything at all, just bidding and bidding and trying to outbid others.

PLEASE DO NOT BE SCAMMED BY THIS SITE. DO NOT LET YOUR FRIENDS BE SCAMMED BY THEM. SPREAD THE WORD!!! DO YOUR PART TO GET THEM OUT OF BUSINESS!!! THEY ARE TOTALLY SCAMMING PEOPLE AND IS TOTALLY NOT SINCERE!!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF.

If you do check it out, please do post here so that others may know that I am telling the truth.

Keep on watching then tell me if those 2 names are bots or not.


Added on April 7, 2010, 8:59 amNot too long after I made this post, the auction finished...

The winner of the bid actually made 2687 bids which is about RM4299.20. The cost of the notebook was RM3699.00. Who in their right mind will actually make this type of bid? If his bid was such... I am sure the other person "armawealth" also had the same bid amount.

Hahaha... Would you bid more than RM4000 on a RM3700 product? Pennyauction... please be real... don't put bots there to play with your bids and products!
