Be the next QuiBidder of the Week!



Are you a QuiBids regular?


In the nearly three years since we opened up shop, we’ve generated a devoted following that’s spilled over into the QuiBids Facebook and Twitter profiles, as well as a handful of other great social media platforms we inhabit. Just like we’ve got returning QuiBidders, we’ve got returning QuiBids Facebook and Twitter users, in part thanks to our daily and weekly promotions where we give away free bids.



above: Lena G, a recent QuiBidder of the Week


You can sign up for our Daily Sweepstakes via Facebook, but there are other ways to score free bids and join in with our customer community online! The biggest one is signing up through Facebook to be our next QuiBidder of the Week. All it takes is a quick form, a photo of yourself, and a quick writeup explaining your QuiBids story and strategy.


We’ve had 19 winners so far and each one gets a $50 gift card of their choosing if they’re selected! Let’s have a quick look back at some of our winners’ strategies.


Lisa D.
Lisa relies on the Buy Now to turn bidding in auctions into a no-risk proposition!


Greg W.

Greg steadily worked his way up from gift cards to jewelry and then eventually some pretty high-dollar items, like a Tom Tom GPS and Oakley sunglasses. Celeste K. did the same thing!


Patricia S.

Patricia mostly sticks with gift cards, but she didn’t just work her way up. She accumulated them until she could buy an HD television with gift cards alone! Now there’s a strategy!


David Di Franco, Jr.

In addition to being one of our most outspoken fans, David’s put together a ton of different guides to success on QuiBids, including a handful of YouTube videos and his own eBook, “QuiBids Tips on the Quick.” Check them out at his website.



Bryce S.

Bryce stays away from really crowded auctions, which has served him well in winning a high volume of not-so-expensive auctions.


Those are fewer than half of our QuiBidders of the Week! Be sure to check out guidelines before you sign up and good luck in your quest to become QuiBid’s next QOTW!

6 HUGE QuiBids Australia wins in May



Did you know that QuiBids operates in Australia?


In the slightly modified but still immortal words of Kel Mitchell, “We do we do we do we do we do we do we do-oooooo!” Down under’s the third market where we opened shop (after the US and then Canada), and we’ve got new customers signing up there every day, which we’re super-excited about!



We think they are too, judging by the customers returning to the site because of big wins like these. Let’s see who got the best deals in Australia in the month of May.


Item: Global Master Chef 7-Piece Knife Block Set

Price: $0.04

Winner spent: One Voucher Bid

Savings: $449.95

Here’s this month’s winner for biggest savings, pictured above. This handsome knife set runs from an eight-centimeter paring knife on up to a bread knife that’s nearly three times as long. There’s nothing that battlestar007 won’t be able to chop now!






Item: iHome iD85 Clock Radio Dock


Price: $0.10

Winner spent: Three Real Bids

Savings: $148.09

Why does waking up have to be so hard? One way to make it easier is to set your alarm to play an upbeat song you love. One that’s bright in tone — maybe some Paul Simon or Cut Copy — certainly helps your case, and user TYGARPOW’s soon to learn the benefits of an easy wakeup call now that he/she’s won this iHome dock, which can play music straight from your iTunes library!




Item:
HP Photosmart All-in-One Printer

Price:
$0.15
Winner spent: Three Voucher Bids
Savings: $168.84
“Where do you go for your printing?” is not a question that gary620711 will have to field anymore, as he’s won himself an in-home print kit that’s small enough to fit under a desk but powerful enough to produce lab-quality photos. It also works as an effective copier and scanner!


Item: NeoPAD Touch Screen Tablet bundle

Price: $0.30

Winner spent: Seven Voucher Bids

Savings: $139.69

Need a mobile command center but can’t fork over the money for a retail-priced iPad? Lolly79 saved almost the whole retail price of this NeoPAD Touch Screen that does almost all the same stuff, plus all the capabilities offered by an inbuilt keyboard!


Item: Apple TV

Price: $0.23

Winner spent: One Voucher Bid

Savings: $139.69

Cinephiles — also known as movie geeks — tend to be very particular about the quality of the pictures they watch, which is why they love them some Apple TV. It shows live sports, content from Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo, and way more, all in 1080p HD. And all that for a measly Voucher Bid? Well done, i8urbaby. And FYI, we’re going to decline your invitation to bring our kids over to watch the big game at your house.


Item: 250 Voucher Bids

Price: $0.11

Winner spent: Four Real Bids

Savings: $147.49

While we recently pointed out that bullies and “power-bidders” tend to go after Voucher Bid auctions, a few slip through the cracks, to be scooped up by savvy users like mrchevius here. With all those bids, you could’ve won every single one of these six auctions…and found yourself with 231 Voucher Bids to spare. Dang, that’s crazy!

Fun Friday: Looks like you should’ve bid on our Zombie Survival...







Fun Friday: Looks like you should’ve bid on our Zombie Survival Kit…

Is it the real-life dawn of the dead?


News outlets are reporting suspiciously zombie-like behavior all over the country, and we’re getting concerned for our customers. If you fear a zombie is at clawing at your window, please tear yourself away from any QuiBids auction you’re participating in and run!


Unfortunately we’re fresh out of the Zombie Survival Kits we auctioned off for April Fool’s Day, as well as this copy of Zombieland , but rest assured that we’ve still got plenty of advice for you when it comes to surviving in these darkened times when you can never be quite sure that your own cousin won’t try to bite your nose off.


Luckily, this blog post prompted some pretty good feedback from you QuiBidders on our Facebook, so we’re pretty confident that you’ve got what it takes to get by when the world gets overrun. We’ve listed our three favorite tips below:


From Bill Sterns: “Run faster than everyone else.”

From Alex Garcia: “Always have a bag of Twinkies.”

From Jody Mullinax: “Always wear your seatbelt!”



Got any tips to add? Sound off in the comments.
