CigarSniper Beta is open to all this weekend

Beezid gets hammered by computer programs trying to bid in the last few milliseconds before an auction closes. Beezid claims that they try to find and ban these users, but a clever programmer could make it very tough for them. And it's actually in the auction house's interest to let people game the system like this, as long as they can find suckers to continue to place meaningless bids.

So I'd be real careful before buying any cigarsniper bids. The "open beta" weekend provides a testing ground for anyone who wants to cheat, so you could very well be competing against computer programs when the site goes live.

Definitely a scam. 1.00 in bids is 100 bids = 60.00. so, if an item is up to 10.00, that's $600 they made!
