Hello. I'm curious about this Kobobid company and their business of penny auctions. I don't know much about either of them, but their deals looks really attractive. Who has an idea on how it works and how to win on their site?

Based on the explanation, I have gotten from people on this thread, I fail to see how this is a scam.

If out of being a cheapskate and greedy fellow you decide to bid for iPhone12 at N100 knowing fully well there are hundreds bidding for the same product and you might end up spending more. How is this the fault of the company?

Kobobid and its likes are only creating a business platform for cheapskates and greedy fellows and like all businesses, money has to be made. Don't fault them because they are selling bids, who in their right mind will sell iPhone at N100?

Why do u all say it is a scam? This thing has been with us for ages...the normal bazaar in churches run on the say template, or is it because this time it is online?

Everyone knows that the company makes money the more people bid, it is no secret.

Blame the people who out of greed decide to keep bidding with the hope that they will win.

If you know it is this lucrative and you can create similar system, i dont understand why uou are not already doing it.

You still have the advantage of the second/3rd entrant into that market, dont sleep on it.

If you need a free consultant/ first volunteer team member, you can have a bit of my time.

Look at the link above, Kobobid already making news.

LookInTheMirror:
angry

I warned people on instagram it is fake and a scam

Let me explain

They sell bids for N500 for luxury items from iphone 12 to ps5 to macbooks

Now thousands of people pay N500 each hoping to win iphone 12 let's say 20,000 people pay that's 20,000 x 500 = 10, million

They give out 3 iphone 13s to supposed winners next time you are convinced to bid again and again because you never know he number of people who bid

Oga it is a scam a money printing machine and a huge cash out

If you want to design it come pay let me design one better for you def but I charge 1 million . You will take in profits off people's greed

Kobo bids are a scam
Re: Is Penny Auctions Of Kobobid Legit Or Scam? by BeboNGN: 9:02am On Mar 15, 2021
I visited the website a week ago!

The organizers themselves are scammers

1. The process is not transparent
2. You don't know the number of people bidding
3. You don't know the amount they are bidding
4. They are faceless!
5. You buy bids
6. When you exhaust you buy again.



But, I believe they will net a good profit from Nigeria maybe I should go and open my own before the thing cast, if you're in message me

This is how it works . They claim to have a fixed game and they give let me say 5 different person's different outcome of a particular game hoping to cash out on the one that enters . So the person that has the winning prediction feels it's really a fixed game and then pays.
They are just heartless greedy scum. Telling someone the match is fixed when they it isn't. An unwise person can stake what he can't afford to lose and then enter serious problem. That's how it works

Its not a scam. Its all about risk vs reward. If you know there are other people bidding against you and you pay for each bid then you should know that the odds of winning are stacked against you. It's just like people spending a small amount of money to play the lotto, again the odds are against you but if you win, the reward is exponential. So when it comes to penny auctions, only bid what you are comfortable losing and nothing more.

Definitely not a scam. Was skeptical until I saw the Nigerian lotto regulatory commissions license on their page. or would lottery commission endorse a scam?

Nigerians typically fear things they don't understand. It's lottery, chances of winning is slim. The fact that you don't win doesn't mean it's a scam, it's called lottery

it's not just Nigerians, humans in general fear what they don't understand grin. But those who are willing to take the risk get rewarded heavily wink
