I got a printer for 90cents

I started this thing called pennybids online and i won this printer for 90cents, plus shipping which was like 10$. still really cheap for a brand new printer. I was kind of disappointed when i found out it didnt come with a usb cable and i dont hav one that connects to this printer either...lame. ill probably only print things like once a yr but im happy i got it so cheap. but this online auction thing is addicting and scary how money disappears in a sec if your not careful. its seriously worst than poker i think lol for people that dont knoe about penny bids:
they're basically online auctions where they sell stuff brand new and all the items starts from $0.00. you have to purchase "bids" which r like tokens you need to bid on the items you want. the website i go to (http://www.quibids.com/) is 60cents for each bid. there is a time limit for every item and when it goes to 0. the last person that bid will b winning the item no matter what the price is. ive seen people win ipods and game systems for less than 10$. you would think waiting til the last second and put in ur bid would make u win easy like ebay, but this is the part where its different. everytime you place a bid, the timer would reset back to 10~20sec. so it can never end until the other person bidding against u gives up. every time you place a bid the item price goes up by 1 or 2cents depending on the item. soo if you put in 10bids and won an item for 5$, you really spent 11$. i lost alot already so i think ill take a break for now lol but its pretty fun so ill go back again
