yes the site is legit, my cousin got a DS lite off there for 55 dollars, but the scam is that for every bid you place, its a dollar per bid. also, when a bid is placed, it increases the time by 10-15 seconds? so your going to use more than 5 bids per item for sure. so thats the cost of the item + $1 times x ammount of times you bid. if oyur like me you go on the net, and buy crapped out consoles for dirt cheap, get replacement parts, and there ya go, much cheaper. craigslist is my favorite site. i got a psp wiht a cracked screen, and a 512 memcard for 25 dollars from NY  :w00t:

Why?
You have to pay for each bid..

Think of it like this..

40 /0.10 * the cost of each bid - the item cost = their total profit.

Price at the moment / increase in time = total amount of bids so far.
Amount of bids multiplied by cost of each bid - the cost of their item = profit.

So if you had thought about it, that is a stupid comment  :nono:
