HappyBidDay Review: Try out this Great New Penny Auction!

I have always written how Quibids is getting all the more competitive each day and thus a lot of bidders are looking at good Quibids alternatives. Here is one great new penny auction that I came across: HappyBidDay and I'll give here my HappyBidDay review and how it can be a great Quibids alternative.

This new penny auction gives you tons of freebies to get started. It is 100% legitimate and it is very easy to win some very attractive products at this site.

Free Bids: 
HappyBidDay has a ton of free bids that you can win. As soon as you sign up, you will get 50 free bids! You also receive 3 free bids each day you log in. This is a very good promotion where you can try out the site for free without spending a dime. The free bids can be used on a variety of specially designed products that help you test the products. Oh and you also get 50 free bids on your birthday! These free bids is a very great aspect of HappyBidDay review because they allow everyone to participate and win and gives beginners a chance to try the system out.

Ease of Winning
This is perhaps the most important part of any new penny auction. At HappyBidDay, it is much easier to win than other established penny auctions like Quibids.I have gone through the list of ended auctions, and it looks like the price is very reasonable. With a little bit of investment in bids, you can really win some amazing products at cheap rates. The site is still new and I am surprised by the variety and quality of products that they are offering. With more products, the overall competition decreases and therefore you have a much higher chance of winning.
Winning at HappyBidDay is easier than Quibids. Do check out my Quibids strategies that can also be applied to HappyBidDay.

Auction Varieties 
HappyBidDay has several types of auctions that would be of interest to bidders. Like Quibids, HappyBidDay has a lot of auctions where free bids are given away. This is a nice promotion that allows you to win products as well as rack up bids. Also, there are special auctions where you can use all your free bids that you accumulate.

HappyBidDay has some other auction types that Quibids doesn't. For example, there are 100% off auctions where the winner doesn't pay the final auction price. It is a nice incentive to start off.

New Promotion
Apart from these, at HappyBidDay you get 20% off your first bid purchase! This can be used wisely as you can get bids at a much reduced price and thus increase your profits. It has low competition and many products and 100% legit, so you don't have to be afraid of spending money on the bids. Good luck!

Quibids Alternative: DealDash

To all my readers, I would like to recommend a new penny auction called DealDash as a good Quibids alternative. They are not really a new penny auction - they are in business for 2 years now. However, they take great pains to keep the site neat and profitable for the bidders. I don't think they have as aggressive a marketing campaign like Quibids or Beezid, so they are not as well known but they are very good.

The thing I like about DealDash is they try their best to give it a very personal touch, even though there are thousands of bidders there. The customer service is very good (as good as Quibids and certainly many times better than Beezid). Their personal care shows across the site, for example, you can see their blog which has videos from their employees explaining offers and features. I have not seen many sites do that, and even less in the penny auction industry.

DealDash is a legit penny auction and is BBB Accredited as well. It is much less competitive than Quibids, which means you will have a superior winning chance here than at Quibids.

But now the most important question: How profitable is DealDash compared to Quibids?

To know this, you will have to take a case study - a sample of products sold at both these sites. I prefer to choose a reasonably priced item, so I picked a 12 MP camera from both these stores, of comparable prices, around $110 retail. So how does DealDash compare to Quibids?

The screenshots of auctions from the last week are shown below. As you can see, DealDash is over 10 times cheaper than Quibids in this auction. This seems to be the general trend and not limited to just this one auction.


So DealDash appears to have a very good choice of items. Of course, Quibids still remains the largest penny auction out there, but if you can find the product you are looking for also on DealDash, you can save much more money than on Quibids. In addition, I encourage you to check out the prices of previously won auctions on DealDash and Quibids and you will see how Quibids is no longer as profitable as it once was.

DealDash is not exactly new in that it is not a few months old. It has established itself well in a niche field of penny auctioners who are looking for some good cheap deals with an honest and accredited penny auction.

I would really like to hear from you how you found DealDash as compared to Quibids.

Disclaimer: DealDash have agreed to sponsor this blog but they have in no way influenced what is written and have not provided me any content, have in no way told me what to write about them and are in no way responsible for the content that I post about them or other sites on this blog. Everything written in this blog is 100% my original thoughts.

Alternatives to Quibids: OMGiWON

There are several alternatives to Quibids that you might be interested in. The auction model of Quibids is a bidding fee model, which is called as a penny auction. If you do not know what this means, read my post on How Does Quibids Work.

So why should you be interested in alternatives to Quibids? After all, Quibids has, for a long time, been one of the best penny auction sites on the internet and its success is inspiring with over a million auctions. The reason is, as many people have noticed, Quibids is getting increasingly crowded and thus more and more competitive. This reduces your chances of winning, and even if you win, you might need to spend a lot of bids and thus money on winning the item.

To my readers, I recommend a new website OMGiWON. This is still new and has many promising features for the future. Being new, I can immediately see the lower competition. You can simply use Quibids Strategy Waiting Game or Quibids Strategy Volunteer's Dilemma to win on OMGiWON.

While choosing alternatives to Quibids, it is important that you look for legit penny auction sites. This is important because a few new sites are just a scam. This is why I recommend this particular site. You also get 7 free bids on registering. In addition, the site has a special bonus of 5 bids by using the coupon code - wow. This can be redeemed from the My Account tab of the site.

With 12 free bids, you can win something good already from the site. I have seen gift cards going for a few cents, which translates to just a few bids. This is not surprising since the site is quite new.

Here is a small case study: Both these auctions are from yesterday, January 20th 2011. Both the products are similar - Bose Headphones/Earphones of similar pricing. The two auctions, one at Quibids and one at OMGiWON are shown below:

Quibids auctionOMG AuctionAs can be seen, the difference is significant - OMG is cheaper by more than 10 times. This becomes significant considering how much money you have to spend if you win/lose this auction.

I would be happy if you can share your own success stories on this site here.
