For a few days we have a new advertiser in Actualidad iPhone. Its name is Subastec and basically what it offers is a blind reverse auction system specialized in high-end telephony and computer products.
For those who No. They do not know it, a blind reverse auction system consists of users being able to make offers on a certain product, which will remain hidden until the end of the auction. Once the term is over, the person who has made the lowest single bid will be the one who wins the prize for the price offered. In this way it is possible to get bargains like an iPhone for less than € 10.
If you are interested in the proposal, you just have to click here, register in the system and buy credits by bank card, SMS or PayPal. As I am informed by Subastec, at the moment only payment by bank card is available.
«For those who do not know»
I mean, how? XD
I have participated in several of the reverse auction pages that exist and also in Subastec's, precisely because of the iPhone, and from what I can see at this moment the chances of getting a bargain are greater in Subastec than in others because I see less people participating.

@Tuberculo: thanks for the warning; it is fixed.
Greetings,
Interesting publication now my question is how much money has this website paid you to publish this mini article? lol curious ...
@ignacio: well the answer is simple, € 0. What happens is that the service is interesting and it is always good to give a hand to advertisers, who in times of crisis do not abound and help to keep the web online.
Greetings,
forgive the ignorance is that I did not understand, I mean, the one with the lowest is the one who wins
The winner is the one who makes the lowest bid, but no one else makes it.
That is, you make an offer for € 0,01 and another for € 0,01, I for € 0,02, another two for € 0,03 and one for € 0,04. I would win for having the lowest one that is unique. You would have the lowest but it would not be the only one, and the € 0,04 would have a unique one but it would not be the lowest.
I hope I have explained myself well 😉
And the minimum that can be put is 0.01, right? I mean in cents the minimum, or how much
Advice for everyone ... This is a scam, there will be the one who will be lucky and there will be the one who leaves perhaps € 100 trying to take the iPhone and in the end does not take it and lost € 100.
So nothing, you are warned.
Thank you very much for the very good explanation
You're welcome 😉
If you put in an offer that is not unique, I suppose that it will also be recorded for you, deducting your credits. If so, the topic has more of a lottery than a strategy as they say in the help section. But it must be said that they have worked out the idea.
As they have said out there it is a trickster, it is just luck, it is how you send porch to 1010 and you will enter the raffle for a porch. The idea is good but for the owner of the web and it has a pull because because you see later on the web that someone has taken a computer for € 3 but you do not know what has really been spent.
If in Spain they have even released a TV program called price buster.
iphone 3Gs € 10… buy vouchers, sms… sounds a bit weird, doesn't it?
I have seen that the people of Subastec close the auction of the iPhone today, can someone tell me if you have participated in this website? Has anyone won something there?
Hello everyone, looking for cheap iphones I fell into this thread. Can someone tell me if you have entered or not http://www.subastec.com? how have you been?. Now they have a MacBook and an iPod touch up for auction and I'm thinking about it.

Telling you that this is a scam, in real auctions it is not necessary to put money to be able to bid, in this type of website, you must buy credits, credits that you use just for bidding and if you do not win you have lost all the money you have bet, If it's your turn you can be in luck, but I know of people who have bid more than € 100-200 for a product thinking that it would be like eBay where you bid and if you don't win then bad luck, but here if you don't win it is not just bad luck, if not that above you stay with less money.
Hello Alfonso, from Subastec we want to comment on your post today.
In the first place, the introduction of the requirement of a minimum of bids per auction was published on our website and came into effect on March 28. This has been our only change since we started activities in mid-October 2009.
Secondly, we have unfortunately experienced a sharp decline in the number of "active" users of our site, so the progress of the auctions is not at the expected pace. We do not intervene in them in any way, so the only way to achieve the minimum required is through the offers made by users. I tell you that several reverse auction pages have this mode of minimum number of bids.
We are working on strategies to recover the levels of participation that we had reached. For example, this week we are giving double the gift credits in each credit recharge. This makes the cost per offer even lower.
You must be more careful not to brand us as scammers without concrete arguments. By registering on our page you accept our Terms and Conditions of use as well as our way of operation, and Subastec has done nothing other than comply with such stipulations. Our goal is for both parties, Subastec and the user, to establish a beneficial relationship and we believe that our winners can corroborate this.
Finally, I invite you to visit our Contact section and express your concerns directly to us. In this way we will know who is contacting us, how your participation in Subastec has been and we will analyze your particular case.
Best regards.
SUBASTEC !!! A full-blown scam. since April 24 they have not made any sales. They change the auction rules to their advantage whenever they want. If you do not believe me to register on the web (it is free), access it, and you will see that nobody bets on it. It can be seen to the extent that they require minimum bets for the auction to be valid, and those coefficients have not changed for weeks!
