Now I try to reduce the price of an item: (First number is the points I need to reduce by that amount)
50 ($0.01)
100 ($0.02)
500 ($0.10)
1000 ($0.20)
2500 ($0.50)
5000 ($1.00)
Do I need to watch fifty ads to reduce the price of an item by one cent?
It just might work. I hope it doesn't, for moral reasons.
That's my guess anyway.
Nevertheless, people quickly realized that penny auctions are a sucker's game -- see http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kimkomando/201... -- and I don't see why it's any different with VidFall.
But points for originality.
EDIT 1 - Additionally, you can open multiple tabs with multiple videos muted and to make the price drop faster.
EDIT 2 - These items can run out, which can really stink if you're waiting around for the price to drop to the one you're looking for.
While I'm also unlikely to patiently pinch a few dollars, I find it mildly interesting.
The pricing is WAY off here.
As @voltagex_ noted, you must watch 50 ads to save $0.01, which is a CPM of $0.2, whereas many video CPMs are in the $20 range. A markup of 10000% seems a little extreme.
