Strategies for Zbiddy Auctions

Since I've had some success with zbiddy, I figured it'd be helpful if I shared some of the strategies I've used to win auctions and save as much money as possible. Again, zbiddy is a great opportunity for getting unbelievable deals on some of the hottest products, so it's worth investing time in learning as much as you can about how it works.

  1. take your time and watch several zbiddy auctions for items similar to the one you want to buy
  2. stay focused and bid on 1 product at a time
  3. be strategic with your timing; don't log on and start bidding during peak hours when competition on zbiddy will be highest
  4. take advantage of low hanging fruit. Some items on zbiddy have significantly less competition than others.
Good luck bidding on zbiddy auctions! Hope this helps you out. More zbiddy strategies coming soon!

zbiddy penny auction

Another week on zbiddy, and I've stopped using other penny auctions altogether. There are a number of reasons, but I'll try to keep to the most important:
  1. the products on zbiddy are actually worth bidding on
  2. the service zbiddy offers is unrivaled
  3. zbiddy offers rewards and giveaway
  4. on zbiddy, everyone has an opportunity to win
Next week I'm going to post on how to pick the right products at the right time to maximize your savings and increase your chances at winning every auction you bid on.

Zbiddy is for real

A few months ago I had very little experience with penny auctions. The only encounters I'd really had with auctions was through sites like eBay, which operate by a different model. Penny auctions like zbiddy are a different animal. There are no reserves, the items are never used, and the discounts are mouth-dropping. The challenge is that it's competitive. You have to be patient and persistent, but trust me - it pays off.

Two weeks ago I bought a bid pack on zbiddy and started bidding. At first I wasn't using any strategy at all, and I was spreading my bids out among various products. I quickly learned I needed to focus on the one thing I wanted, and make sure I picked a time when I'd be facing less competition. That's when zbiddy started to pay off. I won three out of four actions, and saved hundreds of dollars.

I'm continuing to develop strategies that can help people win on penny auction sites like zbiddy, so I figured I'd start a blog to share them. Every few days I'll post a new blog with some tips and ideas that have worked for me. Check back soon for more.
