Hello again!


Alright, this time I thought i'd show you all how Budson.com's "cheap" prices aren't so "cheap".

-

First however, if you already knew this, which I hope you did, then you can simply just leave right away.

I've kept this site under monitoring for a while, no doubt it is a scam site.


They sell stuff at a cheap price, well, at least that's what they say.


Here I will reveal how they work.


1. They use a currency called "Budkrediter". Normally a bid is for free, not here. You buy bids that you place on items. The price for 50 bids is around 500 SEK. (500 SEK is around $65 USD)


Sounds expensive? It is.


2. The items you bid on, and the amount you raise with a bid, is all very cleverly disguised.


- When you bid, it says you raise the price with around 10 ore. ($0.01 USD) However, since you are placing a Bid, you lose 10 SEK ($1.31 USD) on raising the price with. I know, it doesn't sound expensive, but check this out.


3. The price on the items always starts at 0.


By raising the prize on the item by 10 ore ($0.01 USD), you lose 10 SEK, ($1.31 USD) since a Bid costs you that much.


4. Assume that a HD Television got sold for 260 SEK. (~$33 USD) You would be surprized right? Well, so would I.. trust me.


Now, we assume that that was the case, a HDTV got sold for 500 SEK. (~$33 USD) Now let's hold it there for a second.


What is the actual price?


5. The Calculation:


It goes 100 Ore in 1 SEK. To raise from 0 to 0.10 Ore ($0.01) on the price of the item, it costs you 10 SEK. ($1.31.) As you can see, since it costs 10 SEK ($1.31) to raise the price of the item with 0.10 Ore ($0.01), it costs you *100 (* = Times) to raise.


So, in reality, when you have "won" that HDTV which costed you 260 SEK ($33), all you need to do to find out what you really paid, is to move the comma two steps to the right.


Example for USD: 65','42 -> 6,542','22

Example for SEK: 500','00 ->50,000','00

Do they manipulate the system?


Oh yes, they sure do. Both by raising the price until it is above the marketing value and by automatically reset a timer incase the price is too low.


Now, sometimes things DO get sold away rather quickly, at a low price. However they just do that to look good. They sell game consoles there too, and I saw a Playstation 3 go for 500+ SEK not long ago.


(500 SEK = $65.27 USD)


However, the actual price put into the product was 50.000 SEK, that's $6527 USD.


BUT, that is not shown as the price, what IS shown as the price is the amount RAISED FOR the product, being 500 SEK.


So there you go. Just a fair warning to all of you; stay away from that site.


Thank you for reading.
