Very tricky question indeed. The way to win Pricebenders auctions is first of all to have enough TCredits to bid followed by enough time to stay on until the end and finally by patience which will see you through as one bidder after the other falls by the way. After having all these in place, the best tip is to believe in yourself as you keep on bidding. All the best.

If you have never attended a"real-life"auction, this is a difficult question to answer.
I have been to many auctions since my childhood. Here is my best advice:

1.) Be prepared. Decide how much you CAN afford to spend bidding.(Use the Auto-Bidder with much caution--You don't want to use all your "TCredits" in one auction and still lose it.)

2.) Many auctions have time limits--How long do you have to Bid? (Before your first auction bid, you should observe

I have found that four simple rules are helpful, the last being very important.

1: Look back on previous auctions. Watch for patterns within the time zones.
2: Decide what it is that you want to buy, don't bid just for the sake of it.
3: Set a budget, make sure you have the T credits to go all the way and don't auto bid.
4: Remember the prices rises by 1 cent, but your T credits cost you a lot more each.

It is easy to get excited and enter a bidding frenzy and

I tried Several times so far I never won any
But I am still studying.

- If you can monitor bid without bidding.
- Then Bidding normally between two bidders and goes only up to 15 seconds.Then You can start bidding.
- Also time and day is very important I found that most of the bidding winners get cheaper winning price in Odd hours.

WOW LUCK is what you need, however I recently won the Silver Digital WOW camera for $7.77 watch the auctions check the previous wins and what times they won and how much was bid, keep an eye out for the very experienced bidders and watch and at the very last moment have a bid and when there are just one or two bidders start your run of bids and you may find yourself winning. the alternative is to see when the times are that low bids win and just start your bidding early and you coudl pick up a win

If you only have a few TC Credit but you really want the product my best tip is Practice makes perfect.

1. Bid when there are few bidders
2. Don't be too excited. Don't bid immediately just to outbid another bidder
3. Wait and be patient. Watch the on-going bidding and calculate the time. Remember you only have few credits for bidding.
4. When the bidding is nearly on its finishing stage bid once or twice
5. Watch the ticking clock when its nearly 0 and no one is bidding

Regarding Pricebenders Auction My Best Tip is:

*Follow the Starting Time and Ending Time first
*After sometime of starting Auction submit your first Bid
*You have to calculate upon original price and take decision how far it can go. This is self self explanatory depends upon your assumptions.
*Fixed your eyes before ending time and if you do the same you may win

Great question....I don't know if anyone person has the right answer however, let me see if I can help you here:

1. Know how much it cost you to bid; in other words each Tcredit cost .29 if you bought 200 at a time....if you didn't they cost more. Every bid cost you 1 TC, so if you add the final cost of an item to the amount it cost you to bid, then you can determine exactly what the item cost you in the end.

2. Know how much you have to spend and when you reach that mark

Obviously, bid on an item that you NEED, and WANT, and are WILLING TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR.
Begin bidding tentatively at the price most people are quitting. Even the autobidders are not going to set unreasonable limits. Lastly, spend only ten percent of your planned bid price when you begin. You must play close attention when you are getting bids every ten seconds or you will be timed out. Make sure your computer isn't acting up when bidding is vital.

Don't come in at the start of the auction. Watch the auction after is has begun and when you do step in place your bid when the timer has almost ended...when it says, going once or even when it says, going twice. If you bid that way, your TCredits go farther and you can take your time while bidding. Plus you have the opportunity to see who's bidding against you as well as seeing who is the experienced bidder. You don't need to be the highest bidder throughout the auction. Always bid when the
