Yeah thats how im guessing the majority of the auctions end but my cousin has gotten things for like $5 that retail for $500-$700. I guess its just luck and knowing when to stop bidding? If I understand correctly the items are bought by the people running the site and they make money off from people bidding because each bid costs like $0.75. So they can afford the let things go for so cheap because the profits from people bidding adds up.
