Don't Confuse QuickBids.com with QuiBids

Tv commercials at 2am are hard to make out exactly what they are saying. When the commercial for quick bids came on the tv and they showed a flat screen TV for $30 bucks I was like what? This has got to be a scam, ripoff or some catch to this. No way an item that costs $500 bucks is going for thirty dollars. What's the catch? I started looking around google for quick bids, quickbids.com, quickbids and was not finding what I was looking for. Turns out i was looking for the quibid website which is hosted at www.quibids.com. Snag the quibids promo code if you are going to sign up, that's the same one that was listed on the TV commercial. You will also get 3 free bids for signing up to their newsletter. I'd recommend using your email account that you use for stuff not vital but worth having if needed.

What is Quick Bids / QBids or QuiBids?

First off, you are probably talking about the penny auction site QuiBids.com. Not "quick bids" or "qbids" but it is easy to mistake the quibids commercial as to the "Q" bidding site. So, if you were really looking for quickbids.com then that domain is for sale along with qbids.com and if you ask this blogger, quibids.com should make that investment because while their name is unique and short it is easily confusing to people who are not familiar with the brand. If you do not get it, your competition sure should and re-direct that traffic to themselves.

Quibids is:

  • Biggest penny bid site in the world
  • BBB accredited (A- at the time of this post, not bad)
  • Based out of Oklahoma
  • Offer buy it now options on their entire line up of products
  • Over 1000 auctions per day
Just do not get suckered into bidding on a site that you think is the real quibids.com but is really a fake or slight imposter looking like the site advertising on TV commercials but really in reality a scam site where you are almost certainly going to lose money. PS - be sure you understand how quibids works before you begin or you will no doubt end up feeling ripped off!
