Bidding Tips
Have you tried QuiBids yet? Whether you have or haven’t, it’s good to know it takes a certain amount of strategy to be successful. One of the best, first things to do on the entertainment retail auction site is to visit their QuiBids101 section. It’s an informational portal they’ve had since day one that gives a more in depth explanation of their services/features and also offers tips on how to participate on their site.
Some of the best tips given by QuiBids have been:
Buy Now – Don’t walk away empty-handed! QuiBids simply provides this safety net for all its users. Should you be in an auction and not win, you get to apply the real bids you spent in that auction, towards the price of the product. Make up the difference, and they’ll send you the product. Worst case scenario should be walking away with a product at its retail value.
Set Realistic Expectations – Don’t go into the site expecting to pay $0.01 for a laptop. It could happen and it has, however, that’s not the norm. Give yourself a budget, start small and build your way up.
QuiBidders alike enjoy sharing the love and helping others. Check out what some of the QuiBidders tips are via Bidding Tips from QuiBidders on Twitter.
What tips for fellow QuiBidders do you have? Let us know below in the comments.
Stop the bullies!
If you’ve been around the entertaining auction industry for long, you may have heard of the so called “colluders” or bullies that can rob the fun out of the overall auction experience. Colluders basically are those bidders who tag-team, on the side, with other bidders to gang up in an auction to win that particular auction. Other bidders may or may not know about this activity and when the collusion is taking place. It’s a rather tricky and shady bidding tactic. How does QuiBids keep track of who’s colluding?
In order to keep collusion under control, if Q can’t shut down all colluders, is simply the Terms and Condition that they have in place. Some of the factors such as having only one account per household helps. If there are multiple accounts tied to the same address, it sends QuiBids a red flag to keep a watch on that account(s). They also have a full compliance department that monitors all these accounts on a daily basis and takes many factors into account before they actively notify a user of their activity.
Can’t we all just get along? If you think you know the username of a colluder on QuiBids, be sure to inform QuiBids’ support! For more information on collusion, visit QuiBids blog.
