Anyone bid on Penny Auctions? 1 Attachment(s) I do, and I love them. I've won a lot of great things for cheap: 60" Plasma TV, Dyson vacuum, toaster, toaster oven, knives, video camera, cordless phone, Margaritaville concoction maker, 32" TV, lots of gift cards, Dyson Fan, Four iPads, and I can go on.... So, anyone bid on them? If so, which ones? I like Quibids the best, but am a member at a lot. I use the same name on the auctions (BabyFidgette). Below is a pic of my 60" TV. In those two big boxes for Xmas were other things I won (Wine fridge and Rotissere). Also, if you decide to join please let me know and I can PM you a link (I get free credits). If you want to know more, just ask! Many people think they are a scam. Most are, some are not. |
I joined one place (can't remember which) but I was highly disppointed bc they showed cameras on their propaganda pages but when I got to the actual auctions I couldn't find camera one. |

I would like the link. Sounds interesting. My hubby is always shopping for a good deal. Thanks. |
Same here, my hubby is a shopper, i would love the link please. Thanks |
Please send me the link...never heard of penny auctions. Really interested in this! Thanks!! :D |
I did try Quibids once, but was very disappointed in their "penny" auctions, which I think is false advertising. They don't tell you that for every "penny" bid you place, that bid costs 60 cents (so that "$84" iPad winning price actually collected over $5K in bids!). Also, I could never win, even on the small items. They set a time limit, but if a higher bid is placed within so many seconds of the auction's end, the time resets (to a minute or two I think?). If you have any tips and tricks you'd care to share, I'd love to hear, since I would not mind giving it another shot if I could possibly win something. BTW, CONGRATS on all of your winning - you really cleaned house! :) |
pm me a link as well |

60 cents per bid sounds really expensive!!! |

However, you can send me money to the bank of Nigeria if you like. :) |
60 cents per bid isn't expensive when you think about what you're saving. My husband got his Microsoft X-box 360 4GB from QuiBids and we paid a total of $18.76. That was including all our bids, the total price, and the shipping & handling. It came factory sealed, and shiny brand new. Works like a charm, but now he drive me bonkers playing his games all night, lol :thumbup::thumbup: two thumbs up for QuiBids ...we really like QuiBids, we just haven't gotten lucky since then. lol |
[Update] Sorry...my husband corrected me. It was $18.76 that covered all of our bids plus the total price, but we still paid another $20 for shipping....making it around $40.00 total. BUT...still a heck of a deal for a brand new game station that sells for $150 and up. |

It's a gambling site not a bidding site, you are paying to bid and gambling that you'll win the bid, if you lose the bid, you also lose all the money you bid.[/QUOTE] Exactly. It's not a fair bid, rather it's taking a gamble on having the last bid placed at exactly the right time. It's fine if you have the will and don't mind losing some. My biggest gripe is the false advertising. |
[QUOTE=Nancy1999;3788522]I'm not saying you will never win, people win at gambling all the time, that's why they continue. How much has he spent all together on the things he didn't win? Has he told you that?[/QUOTE] Second thought...note to self **May not be such a good thing to introduce my novice hubby to.**:p |

After reading these replies this is not for me. |
Yeah, it's always a very good thing to do some research. I like Amazon and EBay. They are reliable, cover transactions and you can return items with ease. |

Yeah, you do have to be careful! I love using Amazon. I've been a prime member for a long time. I have stuff shipped almost everyday. I rarely buy anything at the stores anymore because I can get it on Amazon SO much cheaper and have free shipping. |

Ahh, I know what you mean. For that, I go to the Open Air Market on the weekends and by odds and ends. I bought a tank top last Saturday for 35 bucks! lol....lordy ;) And I have my dog bakery that I go to and I sure do eat out a lot! But for electronics, videos and stuff you'd grab at walmart and best buy...Amazon is my place :) |
