Penny Auction 101: The Big Picture



The big picture of participating in Penny Auctions
1. Start Slowly - Read the site's rules and FAQ pages before placing your first bid.

2. Observe several auctions – Spend some time watching an auction to see how it operates, the amount of time it takes and how the bidders are reacting. Then begin by placing bids on relatively inexpensive items to reduce your risk while learning.

3. Be emotionally prepared to lose - Everyone sooner or later experiences the fact of placing 100 or more bids and still lose the auction.

There are three styles of bidding used to win at penny auctions site. They are as follows:
 Aggressive – bid until the time ends and you win. This style requires a lot of bids and  time watching the auction not to mention deep pockets. Not recommended for  beginners.

 Conservative – bid sparingly and use the last seconds to place bids to out-bid the  opponent. This style is hard to master and requires a great deal of timing skills.

 Optimistic – bidders will look for auctions where there is less competition and therefore  their chances are better to win. This style requires patience and persistence but is best  for beginners.
