Beezid Penny Auctions Pack a Punch
My girlfriend likes tchotchkes. She likes knick-knacks, bric-a-brac, odds and ends, and collectables. And she goes online A LOT to find this stuff. Now, that’s all well and good, and I support a healthy addiction to something fun, and not too expensive, but every now and then it gets to be just a little too much, even with eBay, and other sites like this. However, she is an amazing deal finder. She will sniff out a deal like a hound on the scent of a fox. It’s actually quite remarkable.
Her most recent find is a site called Beezid.com. She explained to me that this is a penny auction site, which sounds like any other auction site, but there are a few twists here. These guys have a guarantee that none of the items on their site will be sold for more than 50% of their current retail price, which is the part that caught my attention. In fact, most of them go for something like 90% off. I saw one of these Nikon cameras go for like 97% off its original price. That’s kind of a good deal.
To me it seemed a bit complicated, but my girlfriend took to this like a fish to water. The way I understand it is that you pay a minimal fee to bid on certain items, and then as more and more people bid on them, the price goes up one penny for each bidder. If you’re lucky enough to win on one of these bids that you enter for an item, you get that product for well below the original price.
So far my gal has won three of these bids, and has actually gotten some stuff that we needed around here for quite cheap. We ended up getting a slow cooker for rice, which is a huge time saver, and my favourite, one of those Dyson Ball vacuums like you see on TV. I’m a clean freak. It was a great thing to get. So, tchotchkes and knick-knacks aside, this site has saved us a ton of money on stuff that we actually needed. If you want to know more, they have some decent info there, and they don’t skimp on the FAQs, which is great for newbies. There is a bit of luck here, but it’s really cheap to try, and you get amazing deals. Try it out. Let me know what you think.
