I just got off the phone with a representative and their supervisor in regards to the placement of a bid from their site. I was looking for a keyboard and found this site through pricegrabber and I was led to believe, after registering that I was going to bid on a new logitech keyboard(website indicated they had 31 available. Going through the website I was led to believe that I was "BIDDING". Phrases that led you through their site included the following, "Bid Information", "Auction Information", "Place Your Bid", "Time Left To Bid", "Starting Bid","Reserve Price", "Incremental Bid", "Total Bid", and they even had a "U Buy It Bid". Are there indicators for you to place a bid? Absolutely!!! Well would you like to "PREVIEW YOUR BID"? Sure...you just bought it. I bought a relatively inexpensive product...what if you think your bidding on an item that sells in the hundreds of dollars. In as good as job as they could do the two ladies tried to conceal what this website is doing. Misleading the customer creating a lose/lose situation
