In construction bidding sometimes the owner wants more than what they might have money for so they will set up a bid with "alternates". The base bid consist of items that they must have and then they will set up "add" or "deduct" alternates with the items that they would like to see added if t6he money is available after the bids are taken. The alternates are usually in order of priority, such as....1,2,3,4, ect, ect.

Is rapid bargain fake?

I personally think that it is a HUGE scam. I signed in wanting to buy an ipod and cannot believe quite how naiive I was thinking that it would actually work. Basically you buy bids, so for example 50 bids will cost you $40. You then use up these bids by bidding on an item you're interested in. I ended up spending $140 on bids to not actually win the item in question. If you don't win the item, your bids (ie. the $140 I spent on buying the bids) goes in a "bank account" against your name. So if you ever (!!!???!!!) actually win an auction, the value goes against the purchase of that item. This amount however is only valid for 30 days and so you have to win an auction in that time period or you lose your money. Of course, you can only win an item by buying yet more bids to bid on an auction. I don't see how you can ever win an item and use your old bid money to pay for it without still having money left in your bank account. Therefore you have to keep buying more and more bids to use the money that you've paid for previous bids you've bought where you haven't won the item. There are so many people bidding against each item, that the chances of you actually winning are (I believe) highly remote, so the company make a fortune, and I mean a FORTUNE out of anyone stupid enough to use their site (me!!). I bought the inital amount of bids which ran out very quickly and then I thought "oh well, if I don't keep bidding I'll have just wasted my money, so I'll buy some more bids". Of course, they want people to think that way so they can scam them out of their money. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!
