Win a Penny Auction in 5 Easy Steps

A penny auction site is an online website that provides you the chance of bidding on—and winning—high ticket items such as computer tablets and smartphones or just about anything for a mere fraction of its market price. And bids are done, one cent at a time. How to play in this fabulous game? Here are 7 simple steps to start your penny auctions career:

1. Register. Most penny auction sites will require you to register your information such as your user name, password, and address and credit card details—before you’re able to make bids. Credit card details imply payments, so check out the terms and conditions of signing up before you do. Verify through your email account, then you’re ready to go!


2. Purchase bids. Before you’re able to bid on penny auctions you’ve got to buy bid credit first. Some sites will give it out for free, though. Also, there are ways to get free bids so watch out for these offers. You’ll be using these bids on the auctions you want to win.


3. Choose an auction. Then begin bidding using your bid credits! Don’t forget to watch your bid credit as you go along. You don’t want to run out of bids when you’re planning to go up for the long haul. Don’t be discouraged if someone beats your bid; just keep at it—the bidding process extends the time limit for a random time whenever someone makes a new bid.


4. Verify who won. And hope it’s you! Check if you won the auction after the timer runs out. Normally you’d be sent an email and an invoice as well as info on how to claim your win.


5. Wait for your item to ship. When it does ship and then arrives at your address, enjoy the item you’ve won! You deserve it!
