Damn I'm stupid.

Recently, I was thinking of getting new laptop. So I stumbled upon this one bidding website (name to be kept secret for safety purposes), that claims to be the next generation auction. Everything seems skeptic at first glance, items sold at a very low price, imagine getting a new Macbook Aluminum for just only USD 39.91 (real figures okay!!). So i googled for some review to see whether this site is legit or scam and I'm really happy when most of the review I found said it is legit. Yeayyy!!!!

But surely I know there's a catch with its low price. Guess what, you have to pay USD 0.75 for each bid you placed. Not much for me though compare to the price of the item you're getting. So I go and buy for 100 bids (you cannot bid unless you buy the bids first). Trying my luck, I bid for that Macbook and as you can guess it from my title, I just wasting my money. But that's not just it, I spent a couple of hundreds more (less than 300 for sure) and threw it all away to that fricking website. Usually I always get kinda good luck but obviously not this time though.

So to ease up my frustration, I'm going to buy the Macbook somewhere next week. At least I can really see what my money turns out to be rather than crossing my finger hoping no one's gonna overbid me at that stupid bidding stuff. Man that amount of money can cover my rent for a month!!

So guys, avoid "WWW.SWOOPO.COM". I know I told you I want to keep it secret but it's just a way to avoid you guys from going straight away to that website for a short visit and get hypnotized before you even get a chance to read my blog. FYI, it really is legit. It's just that you have to compete among millions of people and it decreases greatly your chance to win the item. And some also say it is something like a lottery. Maybe that's why I didn't win it. It's probably the message from the Man above =).. Well, I leave it for your judgment.

Later~
