Comments: Although the Bid Moo cow is cute, the site definately needs some work. For starters, I could not find any point of contact for the company. For this reason, I would not recommend buying from this site. Next, on the About Us page it reads, "We became interested in Penny Auctions first but we found out that it costs a huge amount of money to survive, we calculated you need minimum $15,000 to start a penny auction just to last for a year.  We realized the best  way to last was to create a website that starts below retail and goes Down not up!  We are in it for the long run, not just this year. " This tells me that Bid Moo does not even have $15,000 backing itself up. The site seems very amiture and unprofessional. I do like the concept of a dropping price and "scratching." However, it does not seem that the creators put much more work into the site beyond the concept.
