5 ways to win a QuiBids auction

Posted in Bidding Tips on 09.01.13 by Merlyn

Want to find out the quickest, simplest, easiest-to-use ways to win a QuiBids auction? They’re all right here!

1. Using Bid-O-Matic
The Bid-O-Matic function is an inexact but nonetheless effective way to rack up the auction wins on QuiBids. It’s also one of the most basic and commonly used tools on the site, and there are a lot of different ways to incorporate it into your QuiBids strategy. Check out a couple YouTube videos below that each discuss different ways to use it.



2. Using Voucher Bids
The cool thing about Voucher Bids on QuiBids is that you can —theoretically— never run out of them, and thereby never have to spend any actual money. There are loads of ways to score Voucher Bids for free: referring friends, being a dedicated follower of QuiBids’ social media accounts, earning QuiBids Badges and Gameplays, and simply winning auctions for Voucher Bids. Gather up enough Voucher Bids consistently and you’ll be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to time to bid.

3. Using Real Bids
Real Bids are the surest way to shop on QuiBids. Unlike Voucher Bids, they do count toward a product’s Buy Now price, so the worst-case scenario when you’re bidding with Real Bids is paying retail.

4. Using one bid
It happens. A lot! But it requires a lot of skill, so much so that we created the Win-in-One Badge to celebrate such a victory.

5. Using a lot of bids
Grinding it out is a totally valid and consistently effective strategy that can pay off big in the long haul. Like we said earlier, the Bid-O-Matic is instrumental to this: It’s like swinging a big, heavy mallet to drive a stake into the ground. It’s taxing, but it’ll eventually get the job done.

QuiBids Featured Auction: iPad 2 / Kindle Fire bundle

Posted in Features on 19.04.12 by Merlyn

Can’t decide which hot new tablet is best for you? Then this week’s QuiBids feature auction has the solution you’re looking for: both of them!

Yup — we’re auctioning off a bundled package that includes a black 16 GB iPad 2 and a Kindle Fire, so you can decide which one you like best yourself! One gives you all the capabilities of a laptop in an easy, lean-back medium, the other, access to nearly a million digital book titles starting at $9.99 or less. It’s a power-combo for the ages, on par with Stockton-Malone, Beyoncé-Jay-Z, Milton-Bradley, and even peanut butter-jelly.

Well, except for Milton Bradley. He was actually just one guy. But it sounds like he had two last names, and all those board games his company invented were awesome, so just roll with it.

But back to the featured auction combo: it doesn’t stop there. We’re even including a set of Klipsch Lou Reed X10i headphones and a JBL Onbeat Air Dock to go with the iPad. Altogether, they’ll wirelessly stream your whole iTunes library (from a Mac, PC, iPad, iPod, or even an iPhone running AirPlay) from anywhere in your house. Or maybe you just want to plug into your headphones and keep it private. The choice is yours.

If you can’t wait until Saturday to bid on this power package — or maybe you’re just interested in one item or the other — then we recommend checking out these auctions in the meantime. Otherwise, add this killer bundle to your Watchlist and we’ll see you Saturday!

Look below for a little bit more information on these items, as well as a couple of promotional videos that explain them in further detail.
