look up swoopo Denton. Brilliant money making idea and, as expected, not a lot of happy users. It's a variation of the lottery system.. like, there'll be just 2 Macs going worldwide per day. You'll keep bidding until every one of the bidders awake gives up and then the rest of the world wakes up and continues the bid war against you, all of you paying 60 cents per bid. In the end everyone runs out of cash and gives up and the last man standing gets the product after a lot of sweat with the Final Price being the list price + the bid money you spent.

The site is making a killing and it's also got a TON of bad rap. A simple search for swoopo on google or just on techcrunch alone would get you the juice.
