1. Advance offer

The sooner you bid, the better idea you’ll have of what’s going on with the auction. Just a few strategically placed bids will allow you to see in your bid table roughly where the lowest single bid is at any given time.

2. Keep checking back

Don’t rest on your laurels just because you’re winning an auction! You could be overtaken at any time, so it’s up to you to keep checking back.

3. Don’t give up

Just because you don’t have the lowest unique offer doesn’t mean you won’t find it! Bid strategically and you’ll soon know where it is!

4. Don’t spend more than you can afford

It is important to bid responsibly and set a figure in mind that you are willing to go up to in order to win the prize you are bidding on.

5. Make sure you get value for money

If you intend to bid multiple times on a particular auction, be sure to look for special offers and free offers. In all of these auctions, you will have to pay to bid because that is how the companies make money.

6. Hang up on your friends

If your goal is to win a big prize, like a vacation that you’ll be sharing with others, don’t be afraid to ask them to contribute to winning it, that way you won’t be taking as much of a risk.

7. Check other auctions

If the site you’re looking for doesn’t have the rewards you want, take a look at other websites. Don’t bid on something just to test the game, wait until you find something you’d really like to win.

8. Don’t use all your offers at once

On most websites, your offers don’t expire, so don’t be afraid to leave some in your account for later use.

9. Do your research

Before you start bidding on anything or paying money, make sure you understand how it works. We see too many people bidding big money that they will never win because they don’t understand the concept.

10. Don’t forget the last minute rush!

As with all auctions, if you have the lowest single bid right at the end, everyone will try to outbid you! So make sure you’re on the site, watching and waiting and ready to jump in and get the lowest unique offer at the last minute!
