I would be happy if they shut down just to stop those annoying commercials.
I just wish they would quit advertising on Fox News so my 74 year old father would stop telling me I can get a new ipad for a penny, and showing me the commercial he TiVo'd.

It is not false advertising because you can technically win/buy all those items for that price. Point is to bid the incremental $$ and hope no-one outbids you. However, if someone does outbid you, you don't get the money back like in a usual auction. So if I bid 1 penny for an iPad, and no-one else bids, I win the iPad for 1 penny. Some wait until the bid is up to $11-$12 and come in and put in a single bid at that amount. If other people have exhausted their budget, they win the iPad for $11-$12.
Most auctions like that have a stipulation that the moment you have paid full price for the item in bids, you get that item. So if you are in the market for an iPad and ready to pay full price and don't care about wasting time for nothing, then you can go this route and see if you can get it for a lower price (you probably won't). I would just go to the Apple store instead.
