I know it's illogical and 100% stupid, but I just can't see you having these issues when I look at your avatar.

It's not. You wouldn't think so if you met me either. I hide it well and put on a good show for others. Not may people who meet me know there's anything wrong.

So only a week left, will you be leaving on bad terms?

If so, install a game and play that :)

No not really leaving on bad terms. I made up a story about my uncle owning a pharmacy and me promising him I'd work for him at some point. They seem to have bought it, at least my manager and immediate coworkers. They are good people and my manager is unhappy to see me leave. Like I say I put on a good show and people don't know I have problems under the surface.

you buy bids, so lots of bits is what they want.

Ok I see from reading their help section. You buy "bids" then place bids on the item which increase the cost of the item by a penny or something small. The winner then pays this "small" amount on top of the cost of the bids they bought and placed on it. So basically the "cost" of the item mean nothing and it's all in the bids you placed. In other words it sounds like it's just trying to grab gullible fools who think Ohh I got a macbook for $35.00.

well, the one guy that gets it gets it for a great deal. problem is how many people is piled under the guy to make it to 35 dollars. let's just do some silly math.

the guy gets it for 35 bux, say there are 29 other bidders, the 29 other would have bid close to 35 bux anyway, 35x30=1050

Right right right, I'm not thinking. That's a clever little money making machine actually :p
