Its a good idea in theory, but if you the poor mother *******er who was at the botom of the list for a monitor and the guy stops this little sharade... guess what... Its kind of like every on on diy audio paying $150 for a $300 lcd monitor... Half the people would get a monitor for $150... buy half would be **** out of luck...
 
good example... does anyone here remember cyber rebate .com? The idea was that eventually you would recive anything you bought there free, but you would first have to overpay them by about %500 of the retail price for the item you wanted. They would use this money to pay there bills, and send rebates to pay off other customers... Then when more people placed orders, they would send you a rebate for your purchase price... Guess what... They went bankrupt 🙄 .
 
here is how it works... this guy sells viaos for $100. You make a bid, you pay you $100, and your name is put on to a list. If you are first in the list, once this guy gets 19 more bids, and those people pay, he has enough cash to buy a viao, send it to you, and skim a little money for his pocket. Then the next bidder on the list gets a viao once the guy has 20 more bidders paying $100. How can he offer the refund? Well, he should be keeping all the money in a bank account, and only skimming some when he actually has enough to buy a computer. In theory, it is a great concept, and run well it will work for a while, or as long as people keep bidding any paying $100. The problem is, that the list of people without viaos will ony get longer and longer untill eventualy he cannot get enough bids on ebay to support the list of what will soon be 100's of people. You have to remember though, that this guy is someone who just figured out this concept of making money, and does not have any sort of business plan/capital to start an operation like this. If he was a 10,000+ powerseller, who had ties to the people who make this stuff, and bought everything wholesale, i would say go for it, but this is just someone like us who really has no clue what he is getting into. Any questions 😉 ?
