Penny Auction REVIEWS – Which Penny Auctions are the BEST Bargains?

If you’re thinking about bidding on BidRay.com, or want to know how penny auctions work in general, then this video should be a great way of letting you know the facts. Is BidRay really a scam? You decide.

Here’s a classic case of a scammed penny auction bidder. Thinking that he had won an auction after being the last bidder to bid on the item, username “opiapr” was surprised to find out that the bidder before him had won the auction instead. “opiapr” isn’t the first person to be a victim of this scam. Plenty of other BidRay members have voiced complaints about being denied wins and not having won items delivered to them

DealDash easily recognized by its walk on screen orator and bright graphics entices bidders with every tick of the counter. DealDash offers a european style penny auction platform and a wide array of  items, DealDash also might be a resource for good items at a cheap price for a savy bidder.
Update 4/26/10:
DealDash, formerly known as DealDash.com, now comes with a sleeker and flashier look that’s definitely more interesting than that of DealDash’s. But the most important changes aren’t found on the site’s interface – no, they’re much more concerning than that.
First, let’s take a look at how the site works.
Like most penny auctions out there, DealDash’s bid credits are priced at $1.00 each, with users having the option to choose how many bids they want to buy. Now unlike the old DealDash, every time a bidder clicks on ‘Bid Now’, the price of the auctioned item rises by 5 cent increments, instead of the old and usual penny. The last user to bid before the timer runs out wins the prize.
The shipping costs for the penny auction site have also changed. When it was still known as DealDash, shipping for all products in the United States was free. That has changed with DealDash, where shipping rates vary from one product to another. Shipping and handling fees can sometimes cost over $10.00, a change which has annoyed many regulars at DealDash. Paying for shipping is fine, but when a prize takes 2 to 3 weeks—sometimes even longer—just to get to your home, then there’s obviously something amiss with the situation.
DealDash has also added a ‘Buy It Now’ option, where bidders who have lost an auction can still score a bargain deal. Each time you bid, the Buy It Now price of the auctioned item decreases, allowing you to purchase an identical product at a much lower price. If you plan to take this route, remember that you’re up against late players that like jumping in at the 11th hour to snag prizes.
DealDash comes in with a new look that we like, but many of the changes they’ve made to their bidding system leave a lot to be desired. We hope that they somehow take the time to address these issues in the future.
