Very limited and not really thrilling. Classic and very boring.

They are quite transparent on their margins and how much costs a win. They are providing a complete archive. Ended auctions, final price, bids to win, bid cost, etc.
Chances to win: 4/10
Most people will tell you that their margins are big and the chances to win too low. At least they are honest on real cost, bidding principles and so on. Anyway, it’s a penny auction site! Their margins may be interesting but they got a real company behind it and got costs. In penny auctions you are not guaranteed to win everytime.
