Good day Nemanja,  

First and formost, micro auctions are specifically designed for new and inexperienced bidders for them to have a feel of what the pricebenders is all about and have the feel of winning at the auctions with limited number of t-credits.  

This has been a tremendous effort by SFI to increase the number of winners there by having a positive impact on the Tripleclicks Executive Pool. Because these auctions are for very small quantities (as little as just ONE CSA, for example), they will usually be won for a very small number of bids and will typically have much shorter durations, too. Also, these auctions are restricted to bidders who have won 9 auctions or less which is also JUNIOR auctions.

From experience, micro auction ends in about 30 mins on average. So, you don't have to spend a lot of time. Wait for the auction to reach a point when only two bidders are bidding in the auction. This can be viewed via the bid log which is displayed on the right hand side .Now wait for the timer to countdown till 0:00 then bid after it displays "going twice".    

Similarly, there might be other affiliates that would want to use the same tactics to win in a micro auction, however, the chances of winning in this way are high due to low actual cost of auction items. Or if you have enough TCredits then keep bidding till you win.  

But you would try and avoid bids that are going beyond the actual  cost for that item as it doesn't make sense purchasing an item that is above the cost price. In order words avoid bidding wars as it might not favour you at the long run.

Advantage with the auctions is that you get credited with mrps where 1 t credit is spent as well as getting the opportunity to get 10%-100% full psa In the bid and build where for each 10 bid placed, you have the opportunity of spinning for psas.

In summary, strategize, study the auctions and you would stand the chance of winning the auctions.

All the best.
