I was curious, and looked to see what it takes to set up an account.

Before you can bid they require your credit card number and the security code.   :whistling:

Not going to happen.

I thought it was a scam but it was linked to a link to someones post on the site. Thanks for your thoughts. SCAM it is.

I'm running with SCAM. No way in hell I would give full payment info just to sign up to an auction site. I will say that they have given quite the sales pitch there... Just going with the old "If it sounds too good to be true" line.

If it's of serious interest you could always call your CC company and talk with them about it. I would think that their fraud division would be able to give you sound advice.  :shruggy:

Setup an account with a debit card, put $25 in it. If it is a scam it wouldn't have cost you a lot. If it is real, and you win an item, then you have just bagged a bargain!
Make it idiot proof, and somebody will make a better idiot!

Or you can send me the 25 bucks and I will spend it on charger parts for my 68.  ;D. Save your money. The bad thing is that there are some halfwits that will do it!

Got board at work today and check a bit more on it. Apparently every bid you place costs you 60 cents. So that's why they want your card so that they can charge you for playing the game.  :P

Still not going there.
