BidFather.com is a very new penny auction site that boasts of an impressive selection of items normally found on larger penny auctions. As with all new penny auction sites, BidFather has the usual gift cards and small-ticket items up for grabs, but they’ve also managed to pique the interest of people gunning for items of higher value by auctioning off gadgets such as the Apple iPad, newly released mobile phones, special edition video game consoles, and HDTVs.
User traffic on the site is relatively low, making it easier for you to keep track of bidder activity and know which members you can go up against, and which ones you’ll have to avoid if you don’t want to lose. Indeed, the site seems to be free of bots based on our observations, so if you’re a newbie to penny auctions, BidFather just might be the perfect site for you.
As with most other penny auctions, registration on BidFather is free. We would’ve liked a handful of free bids for members to get their feet wet, but we understand that a new site such as BidFather might have trouble with that. Bids are priced between $0.55 to $0.75 each, and come in packs of 10, 25, 50, 100, 300, and 500 bids. Note that if you purchase a larger bid pack, the price of each bid becomes cheaper. As always, the last bidder before the timer runs out wins the auction, and will then have to pay the final price of the item, as well as shipping and handling fees.
Like all new penny auctions, BidFather repeatedly suffers from site glitches and bugs, but the management has been nice enough to work out these kinks in a speedy manner.

Bidfather does not send your items out once you won. They respond once to your inquiry then they ignore you. How can you say this is a great site? NOT- I won a gaming chair for my grandkids and I am not asking paypal to make them pay for the item so I can go buy one for my grandkids- this gift was a Christmas present. Those kids were so dissapointed! I read these kinds of complaints constantly about this site. Stay away from it!
