Pros
Not the worst paid task I've ever doneCons
The bonus they listed would have been impossible with the groupmates I had. Being in the buyer group there were basically no opportunities to earn bonus points because the sellers always priced the items higher than the value you get from purchasing them. That could have just been my group but I don't feel it was being made clear to the sellers that they needed to price the goods cheap enough for us to want to buy them.Oh yeah and the progress bar... wow. Never seen such an obnoxious implementation for an attention check in my 3 years turking. A bar you have to click every 20 seconds while you wait for other participants or you time out and lose some bonus, 3 and you get kicked.... for a 50 minute hit, yeah. There were 4 or 5 sellers at the start of the game and only 1 by the time it was over if that tells you anything. Hard to say if they timed out or quit because the buyers immediately realized there was no incentive to buy, meaning they as sellers weren't getting bonus either aside from the default points for each round.

Pros
I was invited to this experiment - read the instructions - the pages in the actual task are timed and you have to keep clicking on the page every minute - if you don't you can get thrown out of the task after 3 time outs - this was about purchasing or selling items and trying to earn as many points as possible - I didn't do too well - the task itself although could be quite fun it moves along too slowly - on average it was about 2 minutes waiting between rounds and there were 20 rounds to work through - this is followed by two bonus tasks.10.20.2021 - Got the bonus today and it was more than I expected:
Task One ($6.55)
Bonus Task One ($2.00)
Bonus Task Two ($0.00)
Bonus Task from Survey ($1.25)

Pros
YMMV will vary on bonus, but you are guaranteed a fixed bonus, plus whatever you earn in the task.Edit (10/15): received a $10.12 bonus. Had previously noted this as $8.42. I will take the extra money!
Edit (10/19): extra money was actually for the "recruitment" survey I did on 10/7. They just lumped them together.
Cons
Lonnng. Waiting, waiting, and more waiting.At the mercy of other turkers in your group. Some people are down right ruthless.
