What is the deal with Ubid.com??

Can you really get a stereo reciver for $7 and a 20 gig hard drive for $5? Do they work?

Seems like a bad case of "if something is too good to be true...." Thanks!!!

That, and even if you get something for almost nothing, they have a HORRENDOUS reputation among people who buy large quantities on line. Often, if no-one bids it up, they have a bot that does it automatically. If that fails, they'll just cancel your order, which sucks a lot!
