Can Software Really Help Win More QuiBids Auctions?

How Using Software Can Lead to Winning More Quibids Auctions

Winning an auction on penny sites such as Quibids comes down to statistics…and of course using the right tools. Playing without using resources – such as software to compile stats and analytics, is a lot like trying to build a house without a hammer or nails. Of course you might be able to build the house in the end, but you are going to have a much harder time doing it and go through a lot of frustration in the process.

Using the right software can give you an advantage over other users by giving you information and statistics not widely available. While most bidders are going into an auction blind with no prior knowledge of auction trends, you will be prepared with information about the item and past bids to make informed decisions and confidently dedicate each bid. One of the best pieces of software for use on Quibids.com is Bid Ninja – a Chrome extension that provides information right on your computer screen.

Just check out these two videos where you can see auctions actually won using Bid-Ninja:

Bid Ninja is a highly recommended type of Quibids software on the market because of the 3-core capabilities that it offers you in comparison to other software available. The first capability is that Bid Ninja analyzes Quibids auctions 24-hours a day and watches for data trends that could benefit you during bidding. Some of the information it collects includes recent winning bids for certain items, auctions that are currently open, and other users who are bidding on the item as well as their bidding trends. All of this information can be viewed using Bid-Ninja Analytics that shows you real-time auction information.

Another great resource that Bid-Ninja offers is the ability to automatically place bids using BidBuddy® – an automated tool that conveniently places bids for you based on your input. You can setup BidBuddy with certain parameters and guidelines to follow based on your research or budget, then Bid-Ninja will take care of the rest. Setting up certain parameters is easy to do and will let you use your bids based on how many users are left in the auction and the total price of the item. For instance, if you want to save your bids until a price has reached $3, you can set that information in the software and your first bid will be applied when that total price has been reached. This Quibids software feature makes it so you aren’t glued to your computer all day, and you can go about your life without spending hours on an auction.

The third and final feature of Bid-Ninja is that it allows you to search for and monitor multiple auctions that may not be easy to find from Quibids main page. Some auctions are hidden so that more veteran bidders don’t have to indefinitely compete against newer bidders joining the site. From this pane, you can monitor every item you might be interested in purchasing as well as those that you are currently bidding on. Consider Bid-Ninja Auction Tracker your bidding command center where you can get all the information you need to develop your plan of attack and increase your odds of winning.You can choose to be like everyone else and go into every auction with desire to win, or you can make it a reality by giving yourself the right tools to win.

Bid-Ninja Analytics, BidBuddy, and Auction Tracker gives you essential information every user should have before an auction. Information like this can help you to avoid wasting your time and bids at the start of an auction like some of the more novice users. Bid-Ninja has three price tiers starting at $59.99 a month for the three tools and can be purchased at their website. If you consider the amount of money that you could potentially throw away not using these services, Bid-Ninja seems like a bargain.

QuiBids Strategies to Try Out – Win More Auctions

/in , /by

Various QuiBids Strategies

QuiBids is one of the most popular Penny auction sites where you can have the chance to win big ticket items for a fraction of the price. Bidding on QuiBids is an amazing idea when you’re looking for a bargain price on products. What’s even more interesting is that even if you lose the auction, you can directly buy the product at retail price without incurring a loss.

The same idea has definitely occurred to a lot more people and the QuiBids site continues to get more and more competitive. If you are one of the few that never seem to be able to challenge the pros, then these strategies would be a great place to start until you can find your own lucky formula to win auctions.

Be Aggressive

This is a tricky one to use. This entails placing a new bid before the clock has run out of time. This move is all a play on the psyche of the bidder. Imagine being in the shoes of the other person.

As soon as you bid on an item, the other person outbids you and this cycle keeps on going over and over again until you have no choice but to give up. Waiting for the clock to run out would show some hesitation on part of the other bidder allowing them to hope that they have a chance to win the bid.

The Other Side of the Coin

There are times when you will come face to face with someone who will be aggressively bidding on the product that you have set your sights on. Have no fear because such bidders can be easily dealt with. At this point, you need to understand from the perspective of the aggressive bidder.

When a bidder gets aggressive, chances are that they are trying to outsmart you because they only have a limited number of bids left in their account. This is because they are trying to outbid every person in the auction and this can take a toll on their bids. At this point just wait and see when the bidder runs out and you can take your prize home.

Know When to Bid

Timing is everything when it comes to bidding. The best time to bid is when it’s time to commute to work. No one has access to a computer and the chances of winning an auction are higher. The prime time when the competition gets heated is after work hours until 10pm. Try to find the sweet spot when there are fewer bidders and more auctions.

Use Bid Ninja

Using a third party software such as Bid Ninja can work wonders for your auctioning capabilities. Bid Ninja is a great tool that allows you to gather information on the auction and the bidders working against you. You will be able to see the average closing price of a product and whether bidders are playing with real money or bids. You will also be able to see the win-loss history of your competitors along with the number of auctions they have taken part in.

Knowing just how exciting and dynamic a penny auction can become, they have introduced the tool as an extension which means that you won’t have to navigate away from the site in order to take a look at the numbers.

A penny auction such as QuiBids can be a great place to find bargains but like every other competition, you need to have a strategy and a working knowledge of your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. Once you have the information and know how to use it, nothing can stop you from getting the prize.

What is QuiBids You Ask? A Great Place to Get a Deal

/1 Comment/in , /by

What is QuiBids?

If you wanted to buy some of the latest gadgets at a bargain price, you would probably visit the traditional haunts such as Amazon or EBay. One thing that you may have overlooked during your bargain hunt are the penny auctions and one of the most popular penny auction sites on the internet is QuiBids.

Bidding on the Site

The QuiBids site works similar to a traditional auction modified for the digital age. Each user starts off with a number of bids that they purchase from the site. QuiBids typically charges $ .60 for each bid placed on the site.

Bids can be purchased in Bid packs. These include

  • 40 bids for $24
  • 70 bids for $45
  • 300 bids for $180
  • 600 bids for $360
  • 800 bids for $480

If you’re a new user, you can avail the starter pack where you can purchase 100 bids for $60.

Getting Started on QuiBids

The QuiBids site and video defines 4 simple steps to getting started on the site. All you have to do is sign up, find an auction, bid on the product, and win or buy the item.

In addition to the starter pack, the penny auction site also offers beginner auctions with more Bid Packs to help beginners understand the way the site works.

Bidding in an Auction

Once you’ve joined an auction, you can start bidding on the product, each time you place a bid, one bid will be deducted from your account, and the clock will be updated by no more than 20 seconds. This is similar to the last call at an auction.

Each bid will also update the price of the product by a single penny.

The Bid-o-Matic

Another great feature of QuiBids is that if you haven’t got the time to sit and bid on an object but really want the deal, you can start the Bid-O-Matic which will then do the bidding for you until you return.

Losing an Auction

If you’ve won an auction, then congratulations! You will get the product at a bargain price which would be impossible to avail anywhere else.

If you didn’t manage to win the auction, then you would still have the chance to save your bids and simply purchase the item at the retail price.

Making the Most of QuiBids

When making bids at a penny auction, it can always be a great advantage if you have done your research before hand, and know not only about the actual bid but also your opponents.

Software such as Bid Ninja provides users with the insight to make sure that they succeed at their bids and are able to take home a product for a fraction of its price.

It provides useful information such as the average number of bids required to win, the winning statistics of your competitors, the average final price of the product in question, and the best times to play in an auction.

Installing Bid ninja is incredibly easy since it can simply be installed as a browser plug in. This enables users to gain valuable information in a time intensive activity without having to leave the page.

This inside information is sure to provide you with an advantage over your competitor and you will be able to make smarter moves in the auction.

How Can Bid Ninja Help?

Even if you have the information, how will you use it to your advantage? That’s what many users are often confused about. In the simplest terms it can tell you whether you need to pursue a particular auction or whether you should back out. If your opponent is three buds away from timing out o0f the auction this information will make sure that you don’t give up on it and stay there for the next three bids until you win.

QuiBids is a great site for those looking to get some great deals on products without breaking their banks. The site however requires a bit of skill and expertise in order to succeed at the auction which can be assisted by intelligent software such as Bid-Ninja.

Bid-Ninja Has Added a “Video Wall” – Getting Familiar with Bid-Ninja Has Never Been So Easy!

/in , /by

Given how fast Bid-Ninja has been growing (not only for our QuiBids products, but for our DealDash & Beezid products as well), we have hardly been able to keep up with some of our new users questions.  There is admittedly a lot to get familiar with when you first get started with Bid-Ninja, so we felt that it was about time we created short & concise videos that answer every question that we get the most of.

We did this and created a “bid-ninja instructional video wall” which you can check out here.

What we did was “break down” the installation and use of our software into the smallest segments possible and created videos explaining each one.  This has allowed us to create very short videos that allow you as a user to quickly find the video that is going to answer your question and only your question.  You won’t be stuck having to sit through a 2o minute video trying to find just that one moment that answers just your question.

For example, if you’ve been trying to figure out how to view the “forever free” auction tracker that allows you to pull up a list of all Quibids live auctions within FireFox, but you couldn’t figure out how, we’ve got a video for that (and only that)!

What about if you couldn’t figure out how to install Bid-Ninja into Google Chrome you say?  No problem!  We’ve got a video for that (and only that) too!

Don’t understand what each of the tabs & reports of information you’re looking at are when you first arrive at an auction?  Once again, we’ve got you covered!  We’ve got a video that goes over ONLY the information you see when you first arrive at an auction.

In other words, everything about our software from the analytics, to the player stats, to the autobidder to the auction tracker all have their own short video answering just what questions you’ve got on your mind.

So go ahead, if you’ve got a question, get it answered on our “video wall” here.

Avoid QuiBids Auction Locks. No More Wasted Bids!

Quibids Locked Auctions: What You Need to Know

With the rollout of Quibids new “locked auctions” the more experienced Quibids players thought winning on Quibids would become more difficult…this couldn’t be further from the truth!

Bid-Ninja rolled out a truckload of new features that actually make winning on Quibids in combination with these new locked auctions even easier than it has ever been before. This video demonstrates just exactly how that’s possible. Now not only will you know when a Quibids auction will lock before it does, but you’ll also be able to see which bidders have and haven’t been locked out of an auction after it locks AND you’ll see which bidders will and won’t be locked out before an auction actually does!

Here is the video (watch in full screen HD to see details):

 

 

What You Need to Know

Knowing when a Quibids auction locks before it does means that you don’t need to waste bids trying to prevent yourself from being locked out. You can now just pop into an auction just before it’s going to lock, place a single bid, and then when it locks you won’t be locked out!

For example, let’s say Quibids has two different auction, both offering $50 gift cards. As a Bid-Ninja user, you tell BidBuddy to “prevent lockout.” Both auctions are live: “Auction A” locks with 30 eligible bidders; while “Auction B” locks with 15 eligible bidders. Naturally, you decide to stay with Auction B. However, just to be extra diligent you review the bidder analytics in Bid-Ninja to see which of the two auctions has more power-bidders. Unless there is a big disparity between the players’ experience level in the two auctions, always stick with the auction with less bidders. Fortunately, Bid-Ninja’s player stats are color coded by experience level, allowing you to quickly access the level of competition in each auction.

Check out the detailed screenshots on the following linked post:  Quibids/Bid-Ninja locked auction features. Bid-Ninja makes winning on Quibids.com even easier. So go ahead, get your piece of the action and get Bid-Ninja today!
