Quibids - The BIGGEST Penny Auction Site
I was bidding on some auctions on Quibids yesterday when I took a look at the Quibids site's news updates. I saw their ad "There are Over 1,000 Winners Everyday on Quibids.com." Wow, this is just unbelievable. There are over 1,000 people who win on Quibids everyday!!! I don't know if this number includes auction wins only or also buy it now "wins". I don't know if I would count buy-it-now on Quibids as a win, as it is more of a purchase. I talked to a friend who used to do shipping for Quibids and he said that he used to ship over 5,000 items a day for Quibids. Thus, maybe Quibids number includes just auction winners. It looks like the Quibids Lawsuit has no effect on Quibid's sales volume. Their site is still growing steadily and they have kept many loyal customers. Quibids is the largest penny auction site because they have the most products, the most unique items and the best customer service. All products sold on Quibids.com are brand new, never used. Quibids has 24/7 customer service and even has telephone customer service. You can contact Quibids at: (405) 253-2038. They are located in Oklahoma City, OK and are on central time.

New Bid66 Coupon Code
Last week Bid66 ran a promotion on Facebook for a coupon code to their site. The Bid66 Facebook page asked their current fans to spread the word about their Facebook page.

The coupon code: FACEBOOK100 is worth 5 free bids and expires in 6 days on 10/31/11. This is a value of $2.50. However, items on Bid66 usually sell for around $0.10-$0.60 so you can gain even more savings.
To enter the coupon code just go to http://www.bid66.com and login. On the right side of the home page click on the gray button "Promotion Code." Then just enter FACEBOOK100 for your 5 free bids.
Visit my blog later this week for more penny auction coupon codes.

BidRivals Focusing More on Europe and Australia - Less on US
The online penny auction site BidRivals is shifting their business away from the United States and creating a larger focus on the European and Australian markets. BidRivals will still have auctions for the US but will have much more for Europe and Australia. The penny auction site also will be ending their affiliate program with 3rd party sites in the US. Their affiliate program ends on October 24th 2011. BidRival's core markets are in Europe and Australia. Only a small percentage of their customers are from the US. By focusing their efforts on their core markets they hope to strengthen their market share in those countries. BidRivals will still remain one of the few global / international penny auction sites. The movement away from the US market just goes to show how competitive the penny auction industry right now. Hundreds and hundreds of penny auction sites have popped up in the last 2 years and 99% of them have gone out of business. Even the larger sites like Swoopo, BidFire, Bidash and BidRodeo are out of business. Sites there are still open (with the exception of Quibids) do still struggle. For example, Pointnbid's auctions usually always end at <$0.25. The owner is most likely losing money every day. The economic recession has drawn people to find better deals, thus turning to the penny auction market. However, if customers are not winning enough, they usually do not return.

To Spend a Bid or Not Spend a Bid?
I've been watching a lot of auctions lately on Quibids and the penny auction site Bid66 lately. I've been paying close attention to winning penny auction strategies of different players. There are multiple strategies used on many entertainment shopping sites. Such as:
1.) Immediately placing a bid right after another person over and over to intemidate
2.) Not placing any bids until the last few seconds of the auction, hoping to "snake" the other person
Both of these strategies can work but there are definitely cases where one is better than another. I think on Bid66.com strategy 2 (waiting to bid during the last 5-10 seconds) works better. This bidding strategy is better as there are less users on Bid66. Lately, I've seen auctions end at lower than $0.25. Often auctions are won for just $0.06 or $0.07.
On Quibids.com, penny auction strategy 1 (placing multiple bids) works best. Quibids has multiple users and bidders on every auction. You need to stake your claim on an auction in order to win on Quibids. For more penny auction strategies read my blog post: Penny Auction Strategy Winning Tips

New Penny Auction Site - WickedBidder.com
I came across a new penny auction site WickedBidder.com through PennyAuctionCoupon. Today only PAC is selling discounted bids for the new site WickedBidder. You can purchase 25 bids for only $5!!! This is a 73% discount on top of the discount that you may receive on Wicked Bidder's penny auctions. Just at first glance, I really enjoy the site. I love that their theme has the colors purple and black. It seems like every other online auction site is ripping off Quibid's blue and white theme. It is refreshing to see some different colors. The penny auction site offers so many unique auctions that I have never seen on any other site. For example, they auctioned a container of Red Vines!!! How crazy is that? It's cool though. Their timers are also a little different from other sites. If no one bids within the last 2 minutes the clock adds another minute. Thus the timers cycle between 1-2 minutes left in the auction if there are no bids. Bids can be purchased on WickedBidder for $0.70 - $0.75 each depending on the size of the bid package purchased.

Review of the New Bid66 Site
As most of you already know Bid66, the premier penny auction site, has relaunched. I was very excited for the site's relaunch as it is one of my favorite penny auction sites. Just the look of the site has improved drastically. The new site has a clean and fresh look. The old Bid66 site was fairly easy to use, but their new site is even easier. Their old penny auction site sold mostly products but no gift cards. The new site primarily sells gift cards and electronics. To keep consistency the site still offers free shipping but only on the gift cards. Other electronics can be shipped for $5 or $10. As the site is new, there currently is less competition. Take advantage of this! I've seen gift cards sell for $0.04 and a blu-ray player sell for $0.20. As an appreciation for Bid Penny readers, Bid66 has given me a coupon code. Use the promo code: BIDPENNY for 5 free bids on the Bid66 site. New users will also receive 5 free bids at registration. Thus using the coupon code new users will get 10 free bids! This is a $5 value for free on top of all the great gifts you can purchase for just pennies.

Penny Auction Winning Tips
To excel on penny auction sites like Quibids, HappyBidDay, BidRivals, Bid66, Pointnbid and more you need a little bit of luck and strategy. You won't necessarily win your first auction. Penny auctions take some practice. Don't waste a bid on an auction when it has several hours left on the timer. Most bidders wait to bid in the last 5 minutes of the auction. Watch other auctions on the online auction site before you bid on an auction. Take note of the following:
1.) Ending auction price of previous auctions
2.) Number of people bidding
3.) Amount of auctions
4.) Time in your time zone and others
When taking note of the ending auction price of previous auctions look at the recently won auction page. Most penny auctions have a page that displays recently ended auctions. If you have an eye on a particular item see if it is on a winners page and how much the item sold for. Lets say you are looking to bid on a iPhone. If the iPhone recently was won for $2.35 don't start bidding until the auction is at least $1.50. This will save you some bids.
You can also roughly determine the amount of people on the online auction site if it is a small site. Most sites have about 10 auctions running at a time. Click on each auction and you can see the amount of people bidding. You can take note of the people on the site during different periods of the day. Determine what time of the day there is the least amount of people. The less competition the more likely you are to win. Most penny auction sites have less people from 2 am - 10 am. But also take note of other time zones. 7 pm in the east coast is only 4 pm on the west coast.

Beginner Auctions On Speedy Finger
Beginner auctions are a terrific advantage for those new to penny auctions. Several online auction sites like Quibids, BidRivals and Speedy Finger offer beginner auctions. Beginner auctions are available for any new member to the site who has not yet won their first auction on the site. Beginner auctions typically have lower ticket items ranging in value from $5 to $50. These beginner auction items usually are bid packages and gift cards. At Speedyfinger.com look for the "B" icon to know that the auction is a beginner auction. Currently SpeedyFinger is offering beginner auctions for bid packages. This is a great way for those new to penny auctions to start. With beginner auctions you have less competition as you are only bidding against people of your skill set (new to penny auctions). Winning bid packages is also great because it gives you an opportunity to play again and increase your skills.

Quibids Passes Internal Audit
This week the nation's leading online penny auction site, QuiBids.com, has completed and released the results of its internal controls audit. The decision to have an internal audit was made by Quibids in order to put current and future customers at ease. QuiBids subjected itself to an internal controls audit with Grant Thornton earlier this spring. CEO Matt Beckham believes the release of its internal control audit will help to assure consumers of the business standards QuiBids has set for the entertainment retail auction industry.
QuiBids is the first entertainment retail auction site, however, some customers are concerned that automatic bidders and shills are being used on the site. The internal controls audit completed by Grant Thornton states that “QuiBids maintains effective controls to provide reasonable assurance that bids are placed by bona fide users and does not manipulate the bidding process to inflate the bid price or affect who wins the auction (no use of bots, shill bidding or bidding by employees)”. Thus, no shills or automatic bids placed by Quibids itself exists on the site. Also asserted is that QuiBids ships products to auction winners and to those that use the popular “Buy Now” feature on the site.
The entertainment retail auction industry offers consumers the chance to get new popular products for deep discounts while having a fun and entertaining experience. When a consumer chooses to participate on QuiBids, he or she can rest assured of the integrity of the site.

Bid Penny Review:
Site: 9.4 / 10
Customer Support: 8.0 / 10
Products: 9.8 / 10
Comments: I really enjoy the penny auction site Speedy Finger. One thing that is really refreashing is the company and site colors are green and brown. It is good to see that they are not ripping off the Quibids color scheme like every other online bidding site is lately. I rated Speedy Finger rather high at a 9.4 because the site is so different from other penny auction sites. They have a feature called "Bid Blitz" where you can lock the auctions from other bidders and choose to place multiple bids until the reserve price is met. The Bid Blitz feature can be a very powerful winning strategy. I rated the customer support at 8.0. The support is friendly and they reply to your emails very quickly. However, I rated them only an 8.0 because there is no customer support phone number or mailing address. I rated the products on Speedy Finger high also because the site offers every popular product that any bidder would desire. They have gift cards to great places like: Target, Best Buy, AMC, Wal-Mart, Starbucks, iTunes and more. Speedy Finger also sells electronics including Apple products like iPads, notebooks and iPods.
Today (8/1/2011) only SpeedyFinger.com is being featured on Penny Auction Coupon. You can purchase 25 bids for just $6 (60% off) by visiting Penny Auction Coupon (click to purchase).

Maximizing your win on penny auctions
Online penny auctions advertise great discounts at up to 90% off. The Quibids commercial features new TVs and laptops sold for under $20. However, one thing you should factor in to any auction is the shipping cost. Some penny auction sites offer free shipping where other sites make a huge profit on their high shipping costs. Most young and old penny auction sites still use Amazon as their drop shipper. The sites take advantage of the free super saver shipping and pocket the shipping amount that they receive from the customer. No all sites make a profit off of shipping. The auction site Bid66 has free shipping on every item it sells including large items like patio sets, pools and appliances. On the other hand the penny auction site PointnBid used to charge $10.00 for shipping on a gift card. Luckily they have now lowered their shipping prices and only charge $2.00.
Quibids has very reasonable shipping costs. The shipping cost increases as the value and the size increases. Before you bid on an auction make sure and check the shipping cost. The postage cost for a gift card on Quibids is $1.99 and the cost of juice processor is $12.99. The cost can help you determine how much money you should spend on bids and the dollar amount you should pay for the item. Most sites post the shipping costs on the auction detail. You must click on the auction to view the description of the item and the shipping amount.

What is the best time to bid on penny auctions?
The best time to bid on a penny auction is a time when there is the least competition. The less people on the site, the greater your chance to win because there is less competition in each auction. With less competition your chances of winning greatly increase but this still does not mean that you will be guaranteed to win. You should use personal logic and research to determine the best time to bid on a penny auction site. Penny auction strategies have a large influence in your winning odds. Read about my penny auction tips and strategies at my previous blog post on Quibids.
To know when is the best time to play you must first understand that there is not necessarily a perfect time to bid. However, below are some great tips on when the best time to play is:
- Play when people are commuting to work. Most people are getting ready for work and commuting between 6:00 am - 8:00 am. This is a great time to play as there is less penny auction competition.
- Don't play between 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm. This is when traffic on penny auction sites is the greatest. People are just coming home from work and have free time to play.
- Pay attention to time zones and your competition's location. Sites like Pointnbid are located in Australia and most of their customers are located there. BidRivals is global but mostly in Europe. Quibids is in Oklahoma and most of their bidders are in the United States.
- The number of products currently up for auction
- The number of popular items (TVs, Laptops, iPads) up for auction
- The number of bidders currently online

Seat Auctions Now on SavvyBidding
SavvyBidding.com has some great penny auction news! They will now be hosting Seat Auctions. For those unfamiliar to Seat Auctions, these auctions have an entrance fee. Any bidder that wants to participate in these special auctions must reserve a seat through a small fee. However, through paying an upfront fee, the only fees a user will incur is the cost of the seat to join the auction. Players do not pay per bid placed. The winner of the auction will also pay the price of the auction when the auction is complete.
Seat Auctions eliminate some of the problems you'll find on other penny auction sites like Quibids. Seat Auctions eliminate power bidding and jumping as you are not paying for your bids. SavvyBidding also states that these auctions will provide their customers a discount of 80% or more off retail prices! One final reason to participate in Seat Auctions is express shipping. SavvyBidding promises express shipping on every item sold in their Seat Auctions.
Seat Auctions are not new to the online bidding industry. However, not every auction site uses them. Quibids, BidRivals, PointNBid and Bid66 to name a few do not have Seat Auctions. Bids2Rescue, CarmaBid and BidHere all offer pay per seat auctions.

ScoreLuxe Out of Business - Acquired by NailBidder.com

This is pretty common for the penny auction industry. The accounts at ScoreLuxe have been transferred including the user name and password. In order to access your ScoreLuxe account on NailBidder you must log in and reset your password. NailBidder also will transfer remaining bids that you had at ScoreLuxe one for one. Thus, if you had 50 bids in your ScoreLuxe account you will receive 50 bids in a new NailBidder account.
There are a few perks to NailBidder that were not available at ScoreLuxe.com.

How to Win on HappyBidDay - Penny Auction Strategies
The penny auction site HappyBidDay is a great penny auction site with fantastic deals. But how do you win? Every penny auction site is different and thus you should have a different winning strategy at every different penny auction site. Happy Bid Day is growing in popularity but still does not have a massive customer base. For that reason, it is still relatively easy to win at HappyBidDay. Below are some winning tips for Happy Bid Day.
Maximize your bids:
You can maximize your chances of winning by taking advantage of free bids and coupon codes. Happy Bid Day currently has multiple coupon codes. If you are a new customer use the code HAPPY (click to activate) to receive 20% off your first bid pack purchase. If you are a returning customer you can use the coupon code 30PERCENT (click to activate) for 30% off the purchase of a 100 bid package. Happy Bid Day also gives more bids than any other penny auction site at registration. You will receive 50 free bids when you register. This is more bids than at Quibids, BidCactus, Bid66 and Pointnbid combined.
Don't Bid During Peak Time:
Your competition is greater and thus you have a lower opportunity of winning when you bid at peak time. The peak time at HappyBidDay is in the evening and late evening. This logically makes sense that people will be bidding at night when they return from work and in the late evening hours when they have free time. The best time to bid is early in the morning when people are getting ready for work.
Bid On Items that Give Back:
Like Quibids, HappyBidDay has some awesome auctions that feature a brand new item and free bids. They typically auction a gift card along with additional free bids. These are Win-Win auctions. If you win not only do you get a great brand new prize but you also get free bids that can be used on other auctions. You can use your free bids to win even more great products.
Understand your competition:
Unlike most penny auction sites, Happy Bid Day starts their auctions at different monetary values. Most penny auctions start the bidding at $0. At HappyBidDay the starting price varies, but it is usually $1. Thus, if you see an auction currently at $1.01 there is only 1 bid on that auction. Don't shy from auctions thinking that there are already 101 bids on an auction of $1.01. Like I've mentioned in my other blog posts, the best advice I have is to research the penny auction site before bidding.
Maximize your bids:
You can maximize your chances of winning by taking advantage of free bids and coupon codes. Happy Bid Day currently has multiple coupon codes. If you are a new customer use the code HAPPY (click to activate) to receive 20% off your first bid pack purchase. If you are a returning customer you can use the coupon code 30PERCENT (click to activate) for 30% off the purchase of a 100 bid package. Happy Bid Day also gives more bids than any other penny auction site at registration. You will receive 50 free bids when you register.

New BidCactus Coupon Code
BidCactus just released a new coupon code for June 2011. The code is K2T8BC and is valid for $10 off your first winning auction. Unfortunately this coupon is only good for an account's first winning auction. If you have already won on BidCactus you cannot use this coupon.
For those new to BidCactus.com, BidCactus is one of the original penny auction sites. They auction gift cards, home products, beauty products, electronics, entertainment and more. You can also read more at my BidCactus Review.

Does Quibids Make Millions?
When you think of the most profitable penny auction site, you probably think about Quibids. Quibids is the largest penny auction site on the internet today. But is it the most profitable one? Honestly, the most profitable penny auction sites are the penny auction sites that truly are scams. The dishonest penny auction sites are the ones the use bots and don't ship the customers products. These sites do not stay around long so short term they might be profitable but sooner or later people realize the penny auction site is a scam and the site closes down running away with peoples money.
But lets get back to Quibids. The site sells a $50 gift card for only $3.50. That is 350 bids at $0.60 each. Thus, Quibids is making $160 off of that one auction ((350*$0.60) - $50 = $160). So it might seem that Quibids is making millions of dollars. However, in an article posted on Quibids.com the company begs to differ. Quibids says that they make a net profit margin of 5-10% every day. This is not much more than major retailers like Wal-Mart that reported a 3.5% profit margin in 2010.
One thing that customers ignore when roughly calculating Quibid's profits is the buy-it-now option on Quibids. Buy-It-Now allows customers to apply the amount that they spent on bids on an auction towards buying the item at full retail price. When a customer chooses buy-it-now, Quibids does not make a profit off that person's bids. The Buy-It-Now price is just slightly above the price a person would purchase the profit off of Amazon. Quibids is probably only making 1% profit on each item sold via buy-it-now.
Quibids also reports to loose money on 50% of their auctions every day. The money that they make on profitable auctions helps pay for the money lost on the non-profitable auctions. Another fact that customers seem to forget is that cost to run a business. Quibids must pay rent for their office space, pay salaries, office supplies, marketing fees and more.
Quibids is still a very profitable company and I definitely wouldn't mind making the money they make. However, they are not as profitable as they seem. Quibids being the most popular penny auction site, think about the profitability of other smaller penny auction sites like Happy Bid Day, BidCactus or Biduh these sites might not be making as much money as it might seem.

There are several other types of new items that are coming to Happy Bid Day this week. Below is a list of the new products:

May 2011 Quibids Coupon vs. Happy Bid Day Coupon
There have been a lot of penny auction coupons this year and some have rivaled others. I have seen coupons for as much as 50% off bid packages and coupons for 30 free bids. But what kind of bid coupon is better? A % off discount or free bids?
Currently Quibids has a new coupon code: WINTODAY. This coupon code is worth 10 free bids and is for new customers. At Quibids a starter bid package is $60 for 100 bids ($0.60 a bid). With the Quibids coupon WINTODAY you will receive 10 free bids, making a total of 110 bids for $60 ($0.55 a bid).
Happy Bid Day also has a new coupon for their brand new customers. Their coupon is HAPPY and is for a 20% discount on the customers 1st bid package purchase. At HappyBidDay a starter bid package is $48 for 80 bids ($0.60 a bid). With a 20% discount you will only pay $38.40 for 80 bids ($0.48 a bid).
Thus, the coupon code at Happy Bid Day for 20% off is actually a better deal than the Quibids coupon code. The Quibids coupon code makes bids $0.55 each (a 5 cent discount) and the HappyBidDay coupon code makes bids $0.48 cents each (a 12 cent discount). Kind of interesting!
Make sure and use your Quibids and HappyBidDay coupon codes soon before they expire!
