PISOBID: 9 TIPS FOR A POSITIVE BIDDING EXPERIENCE

Gwen Salazar Asking "How U Do It" To A Pisobid Winner
Pisobid, as described in my first post, is the new penny auction site in the Philippines. Its main objective is to create an enticing and exciting bidding experience for the people who want to acquire a certain item in auction. Although it is not guaranteed that everyone will win something, the experience is totally worth it. 


Tips? In order for everyone to have fighting chance in the bidding, one should first observe the website set up and how it works. This will surely save your first 5 free bids (that might win you a prize). Aside from this, you should also follow this simple guide to assure a positive experience while you are bidding for an item:


The Detail Page Of The Item

  • Choose one item that interests you the most and put all your attention to it. Click on its detail and participate on the bidding there. Pisobid does not recommend their bidders to bid on different items at one time. Control yourself and try not to be over confident.

Familiarize The Bidding Process

  • As I have said, an amateur bidder should first observe and learn how the auction works. Try to open the Pisobid website but do not participate first. Observe how the timer goes and formulate your own strategy that you might find effective.
  • Money is a big factor in bidding. You should determine your budget and stay with it. After you have formulated your strategy, determine the number of bids that you are willing to use and stay with it.
Relax and Take A Break

  • Do not tire yourself: take breaks, breathe and regroup. Bidding can be tiresome both mentally and physically sometimes.

  • If drunk or on medication, avoid participating in the auction. As mentioned above, bidding can drain you both mentally and physically. You should be well rested if you want to win.

  • Do not push yourself to the limit. If you think you have exceeded your budget or too tired to participate, just STOP. Save your remaining bids for future use.
  • The Pisobid website is dynamic so one should shut down any applications while you are participating in the auction. Softwares like iTunes, uTorrent etc. could slow your computer and might affect its performance.
  • Update your browser to the latest version for a much better computer performance.
  • Stop any programs that are using the internet.
So there it is, 9 of the best tips for a positive bidding experience. Follow this guide and you might get the item with a price way lesser than its original plus several "Congratulations" from co-Pisobidders. Goodluck!
