Imagine getting a facial, buying all new cosmetics, going out to eat, or stocking up on high end groceries, for just a penny! A new auction website, dfwbid.com is making it possible. And no, you're not the only skeptic!
Cara Clark says, "I wasn't really scared or frightful until I won, and then I was like what if it doesn't work, and what if I don't get it in the mail." Cara has won several auctions, she says, "Taget, $75, taget $100, walmart $75." All for just one cent, she says, "I won a subway, $50 for a penny." The site auctions off new gift cards. It costs $3 to enter any bid. Any time someone bids, the timer resets to a minute 15 seconds. But even when the price goes way up, there's still a chance to score big. Sanj Raj, the founder of DFW Bid says, "During random times during the auction the penny buy feature will come active if it's active while you're on the auction you'll be presented with two questions, if you answer the questions correctly within 15 seconds, the auction closes and you get the card for a penny."
For Cara, the gift cards help out with family neccessities. She says, "We've gotten over $600 in gift cards and when you consider what we spent to get that with the credits, it's awesome, it's a huge return."
Carol Benassi runs a non profit animal rescue group and cards she's won from petsmart help feed her pooches in need. But she's also snagged some deals for herself! She says, "Here's some of the clothes I got at Nordstrom." She got the latest trends at sale prices, but knows the site can become a bit additcing. She says, "I actually watched a card the other day go over the face value, I think these people got so into the bidding that they lost track of the card value." And that timing is everything, she says, "I've gotten up for two seconds and come back and the bid's closed and I've lost ." "I'm a huge competitor, if I shared that with everyone I wouldn't win!"
