Are Penny Auction  a scam or a bargain?

Conceptually Penny Auction sites are very smart money makers which will probably be only gaining more popularity, or notoriety in the future

10 ways Penny Auctions are  Different than EBay’s
Bids cost from  .60 to $1.00 each
The site admin controls supply and demand
Product price increases .01 cents per bid / to .10 cents per bid
Products start at $.01 to .10
Placing a bid at the last second resets the timer 10 to 20 seconds
‘Bid Butlers’ can be used to automatically place bids within certain price ranges.
Bid butlers not allowed in nail biter auctions
If another bid butler matches your bid butler’s price range all bids are automatically placed and auction time is extended significantly (usually) as all those bids add 10 – 20 seconds each.
beginner auctions allow you to compete with only people who haven’t won an auction
One auction site swoop bug.com offers several options that are much different from the traditional penny auctions. Swoopbug along with the buy it now option also offers a bid til you win option ( members with paid bids get to bid on auctions and if the member fails to win the auctions the bids are returned to that members account until such time as the member has won an auction ) this option does not apply to the nail biters or non profit auctions.

Can you imagine the excitement of surprising your wife or husband with an all-expenses-paid vacation to the spot that they have always dreamed about? Think that it’s just too expensive? Think again! What if I told you that you could get the vacation that you’ve only dreamed about for just pennies? Now, you might be thinking that you could never in your wildest dreams afford a vacation to Hawaii, Tahiti, Europe, or the beaches or Brazil and that I must be crazy or running some sort of scam in order to get you a vacation for just pennies. Let me tell you my secret.

To get you started, go to one of the penny auction sites such Nitrobids. Don’t waste your time searching for one of the “top” penny auction sites such as Swoopo; there are too many people constantly on that site which will keep you from scoring the deal you’re after. Stick to one of the newer sites in order to increase your chances of scoring that vacation package.

Once you’re on the site, go and register for an account and collect your free bids. If you don’t see the vacation package you’re after when you first visit the site, just be patient. These sites are constantly being updated with the new products and packages and if you wait, you’re bound to find the vacation package you’re searching after.

After registration, some sites will require you to buy a bid package. These package run anywhere from $5 to $250 depending on the site and the amount of bids you purchase. Buying a larger bid package will dramatically increase your chances of winning big. If these big bid packages are out of your price range, go for one of the smaller ones. You still have an excellent chance of winning even if you only purchase 10 bids.

Once you’ve registered and purchased the bid package that’s right for you, sit back and enjoy the auction. The item that you’re searching for might not appear immediately, but if you watch the auctions, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for.

When the vacation package you want appears on the screen, wait a second and see if someone else is going to bid on it. If no one enters a bid, submit yours. Many items will sell for only $.01 because everyone else is too preoccupied watching the other auctions to notice the amazing vacation package selling for just a penny.

If you are outbid, wait until the timer is just about ready to run out. By doing this, you let other potential bidders use up their bids without having to use any of yours. Hopefully, the other bidders will either use up all of their bids or move on to another item and leave your vacation package alone. Once all the competition is either distracted or out of bids, place your bid and watch the timer run out. If no one outbids you—you win! Now pay for your deeply discounted vacation package and surprise your loved one with that second honeymoon and make the memories that will last a lifetime and draw you closer together.
