Hello. I'm curious about this Kobobid company and their business of penny auctions. I don't know much about either of them, but their deals looks really attractive. Who has an idea on how it works and how to win on their site?

Problem is, penny auctions are still a big time scam for consumers. ... Often times, the final bid is a pittance compared to the actual cost of the merchandise sold, allowing penny auctions to easily advertise the amazing deals. But it's not free to bid you see, as most companies charge N100+ per bid.



Penny Auctions Scams and Tricks
Using third parties to advertise products for sale at unbelievably low prices on classified ad sites like Craigslist, and then telling would-be buyers the item is sold. The advertiser then claims he bought the item on a penny auction site and directs the callers to visit it.

It looks good. Think you should try with a little cash. Life is a risk if you want to win

Bidding systems leverage on small profits from crowd. If you auction a car for 95pence and leave the bid open until 1 million people pay $3 bidding fee each you have gained far more than the person who outrightly sold same car for £4000. Bidding systems charge non refundable bidding fees before you can place bid

They are legit scams.

The only person who wins is the seller. You feel you are getting a good deal by trying to buy a 250,000 naira phone with 1,000 naira ; probably 100 other people are feeling the same way. So 1 million of you buy a bid pack of 25,000 naira containing 250 bids and start placing bids.

Kobobid makes 2.5m ...

You have to pray you can outbid the other 100 people and probably keep buying bidpacks to do this. Eventually you may spend more than the cost of the phone to bid for the phone while kobo bid gets their money. You do not get a refund though... you get tired and cut your losses.

So this scam model just entered Nigeria.... lol . It used to be popular in the early 2000 in the United States, they even advertised on cable news especially CNN and fox News.


The software that powers it is sold for like $100 , the admin can easily manipulate the outcome.

There are technically no winners on the consumer side.

They will definitely succeed in Nigeria as many of the people there have been brought up to believe 100% in 'miracles' in the process many have unrealistic expectations.

How can you think you can bid for iPhone 12 for 1500 naira, if you are not plain stupid ?

The first day I registered on kobobid...after reading how it works..I was entirely discouraged. It might not be scam but the greediness of the owner is overwhelming..

I warned people on instagram it is fake and a scam

Let me explain

They sell bids for N500 for luxury items from iphone 12 to ps5 to macbooks

Now thousands of people pay N500 each hoping to win iphone 12 let's say 20,000 people pay that's 20,000 x 500 = 10, million

They give out 3 iphone 13s to supposed winners next time you are convinced to bid again and again because you never know he number of people who bid

Oga it is a scam a money printing machine and a huge cash out

If you want to design it come pay let me design one better for you def but I charge 1 million . You will take in profits off people's greed

Kobo bids are a scam
