Winning Your First Auction

If you are new to BigDeal.com and are trying to win your first auction, this is a post for you!

BigDeal.com is a game of skill.  You are playing against other bidders who want to win just like you.  Only 1 bidder per item will win.  That bidder will, on average, save about 69% off the auction item’s retail price.

Here are a few tips to help you win an auction:

  • Bid on items that you really want.  If you don’t win the auction, you can BUY IT NOW and pay the same price you would have paid at an average retail store.
  • Less expensive items are usually easier to win because they typically attract fewer bidders.
  • Items with fewer people bidding are usually easier to win.  You can tell how many people are bidding on an auction by clicking on the auction item.  The stats at the bottom of the page show all the bidding activity since the auction started.
  • Items whose past auctions have resulted in high savings are usually easier to win.
  • Some days of the week and times of the day have less competition.
  • Read our bidding tips for other tips to hone your strategy.

We hope this helps!  Have fun and go get ‘em!
