BidPax - Save Money?

Bumped onto the website called bidpax.com via facebook ads on the right where it said buy an Apple Mac for Rs. 9.58 only.

So there I was...it took me time to figure this out but they are one heck of a website...guarantee making money on all products even if they sell them at 98% discount. 

So here it goes how they make money (i will go step by step):

1)     They put up an product up on for say 30 mins to go and product might be an 42" LCD, MAC Book, Nikkon DSLR etc etc

2)     Initial cost of the product Rs. 0.00 with 10 mins pending

3)     You can bid them but before that few steps more

a)     Create a login

b)    Buy Bid Packages [Bid packages are the number of bids you can do but you have to pay up for that check at the end]

c)     Now you can start bidding

4)     Now click on the product you want to bid.

5)     The bid amount will go up by 1 paise…yes yes 1 paise!!!!

6)     After you bid the time also increases by 10 seconds giving other users opportunities to bid higher than you.

So at the end when the clock which finally turns to zero, the highest bidder buys the product

So you would say what I am getting to...well look at the chart below 

      Bids           Cost          Cost/Bid

      30 Bids       Rs. 2,160  = 72

      60 Bids       Rs. 3,456  = 58

      100 Bids     Rs. 4,608  = 46

      200 Bids     Rs. 5,760  = 29

      350 Bids     Rs. 11,232 = 32

      500 Bids     Rs. 14,400 = 29

      1150 Bids   Rs. 24,000 = 21

You can see you have to buy out bids as said before, if we calculate each bid approximately cost Rs. 65 and below as we increase the number of bids we want to buy.

So you start to think of buying a LCD 32” Samsung TV on an average around 50K. People start bidding and coz they see only that product is sold for Rs. 0.01 and to the max at Rs. 10.01 and in the end the one highest bidder say Rs. 10.01 wins.

So let me start my maths here, as you can see the cost per bid in the column above maximum being 72 and minimum being 21 so overall average is around Rs. 40/bid

Let us now calculate 10.01 is the final winning cost, so 1001 times product bidding was done. Multiply it with 40

1001 x 40 = Rs. 40040

The website got back Rs. 40040 back from the user itself plus Rs. 10.01 as a bonus.

Now doesn’t that make a good business deal?

I would like to congratulate the guys who did it all…

obligation

Defination: noun 1 an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound. 2 the condition of being morally or legally bound to do something. 3 a debt of gratitude for a service or favour.

After all these years I have learnt one thing...you are not obliged to do anything for others. And if you do something with your own desire, the other person is not obliged to help you back.

So never be disappointed that someone did not help you coz he is not obliged.

Go enjoy and live your life

Braid the Game

Politicians and You

Every time you go and vote, in the back of your mind do you vote for the politician to win your assembly or you look at the bigger picture and see who do you want at the Center?

The above question can surely will have to talk about good or bad or neutral, but I am not going to thread this part of the water as of now.

Recently concluded Maharashtra elections in which Congress/NCP were the clear winners with 144 seats and about to form the Government with Mr. Ashok Chavan of Congress as the CM and Mr. Chagan Bhujbal of NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) as Dy CM. Well everything was going well when NCP decided to split up the CM seat ie 3 years a Congressman with be a CM and next 2 years of the tenure NCP man will be the CM.

So where does this leave us as voters who cast their vote and shouting out to everyone to come out and vote for a better government and so forth and so on. It leaves us with no CM whose Oath Ceremony was supposed to happen this Thursday ie 29th October.

So what I suggest to the Election Commision, who I think should work for betterment of the people not of the politicians:

• Before the elections, the Party must tell the voters who will be the CM/PM if they win the election
  
• Before the elections, the Parties should tell the voters on who they will be in coalition with (so there will be no king makers and queen makers)
• Before the elections, all the post ie Home Ministry, Defence Ministry etc the parties should declare to the voters who will they be. 

This would help the voters on who would be the one taking the reigns of the State/Country and vote accordingly.
This would help people to see that there are no swapping of politicians and independents for the sake of money which we pay as taxes to the government.
This would help people to see a smooth transperent start to the Govt.

Do give me your feedback.

The Wall Project - Mumbai

King of PopImage by kapil_b via Flickr

On 15th and 16th August BMC decided to make Mumbai more cooler by telling the Mumbaikars to draw what they feel and they did with super enthu and created some wicked wall paitings.

Now they decided to make it even more better by calling out Mumbaikars for painting the remaining walls and this time I would not miss it. So after partying on Saturday night and starting Sunday morning with hangover was not a good start but went through it and reached Mahim station where two of my friends were already waiting for me with the paints (i am no great painter tho). The theme which they had decided on was teach Mumbai. So wall was divided by BMC team from क to ...

So we got च, छ, ज and we made चाबी, छत्री and जहाज . The best part of all the painting and drawing was we got to meet people with cool imagination and some awesome drawing quality. I loved to draw the background paint and added few things here and there in the photo. I am all praise to BMC who helped each and everyone who were painting and had all the colours available.

So some of photos and how it is please feedback on how it looks.
