May auction recap

Every month is a big month for savings at QuiBids, which is why we have to recap them all to help us remember and celebrate our sharpest, most fortuitous customers and all the great prizes they win for wee bits of cash! May was no different, and all those savings going around surely paid off big for a bunch of customers looking for a great gift for Mother’s Day or even just help trying to win one!

Well let’s get right to it and check out this month’s ten best deals! We do however advise you not to proceed if you’re easily prone to convulsions brought on by severe jealousy of others’ massive savings.

Item: Jamo Home Theater System

Price: $1.28

Winner spent: 15 Voucher Bids

Savings: $428.71

A home theater system? Without placing a single Real Bid? And while using the Bid-O-Matic? Color us impressed. Jakers5447 may not have even been sitting at his or her computer when he or she won this thing. Imagine coming home from a long day of work to find an email informing you that you’ve won a brand-new home theater system. Really improves your day, huh?

Item: Dirt King Adult Dually Tricycle

Price: $0.68

Winner spent: Three Real Bids, 29 Voucher Bids

Savings: $427.51

We might or might not have tested this thing out in our office recently, so we may or may not be able to say with a degree of authority that Mr. littlebill is in for a ton of fun. Ahem. Theoretically speaking, of course.

Item: 16GB Apple iPad 2

Price: $1.04

Winner spent: Five Real Bids

Savings: $405.95

We auction off iPads all the time, but it’s rare that any go for so close to an even dollar. Even more rare that a customer spends less on bids than they do on shipping, and for that we salute you, Mr. or Mrs. Unlimited BIDZ. You went after this one just like that Doberman avatar of yours.

Item: Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

Price: $0.91

Winner spent: Two Real Bids

Savings: $302.88

Just in time for summer, customer septembre scored this great smoker for even less than the cost of a couple slabs of meat that it can cook. Hey septembre — you, uh, mind giving us a call whenever you host your first cookout?

Item: Oasis Cabana Gazebo

Price: $0.70

Winner spent: Ten Real Bids

Savings: $343.29

So we spotlighted this particular product a few weeks ago which is how we first saw karprive’s impressive win — a $349.99 product for an even ten Real Bids. It sounds like he/she needs to get together with septembre to host this killer summer cookout that they’re inviting us to.

Item: US Traveler Rio Carry-On Set

Price: $0.01

Winner spent: One Real Bid

Savings: $49.38

While auctions are won for a single penny on QuiBids just about every day, it’s very rare for an item in the $50 strata to go practically unbid-on. Big-time kudos to cpbutterfield, whose instincts served him or her right here!

Item: Pioneer Home Theater Receiver

Price: $1.76

Winner spent: Nine Real Bids

Savings: $592.83

Hmmm. Let’s take a second to make a list of things that jack207 can do with the $592.83 cents he saved purchasing this brand-new audio receiver:

1. Pay his rent or mortgage for the month.

2. Buy a 40-inch Toshiba LCD television to accompany it.

3. Put a down payment on a car.

4. Shop for food for a family of four for a month.

5. Or just buy a bunch more bids on QuiBids.

Not bad, eh? We’re glad we could help you out, jack!

Item: Nike Stretch Tech Solid Polo

Price: $0.03

Winner spent: 1 Voucher Bid

Savings: $134.96

Hey, that comes out to, like, a penny a shirt!

Item: Canon EOS Rebel T3i Camera Bundle

Price: $1.76

Winner spent: One Real Bid, 41 Voucher Bids

Savings: $757.63

Pound for pound, this is the largest savings we spotted on the auction block this month! Did you see one for more? Sound off in the comments, below!

And of course, congratulations to LMFAO1, who’s undoubtedly a happy camper shooting some really high-quality photos at the moment.

QuiBids Answers: QuiBids: Bidding On Bids (aka Vouchers)

QuiBids Answers: QuiBids: Bidding On Bids (aka Vouchers):

quibidsanswers:

On QuiBids, you’ll see multiple auctions going on for bid vouchers, I want to help answer some questions you may have as well as provide a few tips that may help in your quest to get more bids.

Questions:

• What are bid vouchers? Vouchers are very different from bids, you need to know this….

QuiBids Product Spotlight: Energy EW100 225-Watt Subwoofer

Music is fun, that much is established. You know what makes music more fun? A big ol’ vicious low-end sound that gets your body movin’ and rattles every window in your house so hard that the neighbors’ dog tucks its tail between its legs and sulks off to hide.

You can’t get that full, bass-driven sound without a subwoofer, and lucky for you, QuiBids currently has a bunch of awesome ones by Energy in stock. We ran the numbers on the last 29 auctions for them so that when the one that’s currently posted heats up in about two hours, you can go in with realistic expectations of what to spend!

The first and most striking characteristic of these auctions is that the average winner saved $284.90. That’s pretty darn remarkable, considering this subwoofer’s priced at $299.99. You could get a pair and have a pretty killer in-home theater setup for under $40 if you approach these auctions the right way. In fact, only two winners saved less than $200 on these auctions, so we’ll go ahead and classify the Energy Subwoofers in the “Slam Dunk” category.

Second, the average ending price was $2.06. However, I think it’s realistically a bit less than this. When you eliminate two unusually high outliers from the equation (auctions that ended at $11.05 and $8.41, both more than four times the average), the average ending price drops to $1.49. Another interesting thing I noticed was that zero auctions ended in the price range of $1.49—$2.06. They were all either much lower (in the range of mere cents to an even dollar) or much higher, suggesting something of an inverse bell curve pattern. Because of that I suggest getting aggressive earlier in the auctions, and try to scare people away before the price gets out of hand.

Third, the average number of bids required to win a subwoofer was…53. So we advise you to make sure you’re willing to part with about that many bids in order to win this particular item. Do the math, and that’s just about $31.90, which is a pretty fair price for a brand-new subwoofer, don’t you think?

okcBIZ names QuiBids one of the Best Places to Work in Oklahoma!

Ever wonder what it’s like to work for QuiBids?

Well, when we’re not out in the community working with awesome charities like the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma or “testing” certain products around the office, we do work really hard to make sure our customers are getting great deals on brand-new products. Whether that’s by building relationships with suppliers, answering questions through customer service, or fulfillment of orders, it often gets really busy around here, especially come holiday season! But we always do our best to keep our work environment similar to our auction model and website: uptempo, exciting, and most importantly, fun.

[Drumroll, please…]

And so we’re really honored to say that — for the second year running — we’ve been chosen as one of the 30 Best Places to Work in Oklahoma by okcBIZ magazine! Not bad for a company that’s not quite three years old, eh?

BIZ is a monthly magazine published in Oklahoma City that covers business of all types statewide. They’ve been partnering with Best Companies Group for years, annually collecting surveys from employees to determine which companies are the tops in a bunch of different categories, including Leadership and Planning, Corporate Culture and Communications, Role Satisfaction, Work Environment, and Relationship with Supervisor.

Aside from the visionary executive team that started this company and the careful planning they do, we do our best to keep the QuiBids office casual without stagnating, productive without being overbearing, and fun without too many distractions. A company game room (equipped with pingpong and foosball tables, and a Nintendo Wii), incentive deals with a local gym, and bi-weekly visits from a local smoothie/coffee shop are all part of the deal, and it’s a pretty sweet one.

Last year we finished fourth in the Small/Medium Companies category, but at the rate we’ve been growing we might just move up to compete with the large companies in no time! In the meantime, we eagerly anticipate finding out where we finish this year among all the great Oklahoma employers honored for their dedication to cultivating a positive working environment. Best of luck to all the other honorees!
