subject: Tips for successful bidding on ofetta.com [print this page] Logging on to ofetta.com can prove profitable most of the times, but many a time, the attractive features can make you a bit overenthusiastic. Like you find a host of products worth bidding for, and you go all out without a plan, trying to win everything at once. This can be a disaster. Before you realize you exhaust all your bids winning nothing.
Therefore it's advisable to opt for one auction at a time. It's best to concentrate entirely on the present auction rather than being enticed by a newly added penny auctions which looks more attractive. How valuable is the product is not going to decide your fate. You need to outbid others, and if the item is more attractive, it will also attract more bidders. So never get carried away. Instead if budget permits opt for the buy-now option and buy the product directly if you want it that badly; needless to waste your bids.
This whole business of outbidding others needs concentrating on one auction at a time and a bit of planning as well. You need to have more bids at your disposal to stand a better chance to win. So if you are bidding on more than one auction at a time, then you may be wasting your bids, unless you have bought a bid package big enough to afford such adventurism.
With a small bid package you should always bid for cheaper items. The general longing in people is to buy costly products cheaply and at Ofetta you can win products at a discount upwards of 90% most of the times. This draws more traffic to costly items. But with just a few bids you will be outbid more often than not in such auctions. It's best to start off bidding on cheaper items with a small bid package if you are new to Ofetta. However, do pay heed to your intuitions as well at times because on your day you may win everything by spending next to nothing.
The same rule should be adhered to for taking part in the unique winner-takes-all auctions of Ofetta, in which the winning bidders get 80% of all bids placed on the items and win staggering sums of money apart from the products. Such an auction will have more traffic and a small bid package is no good for that.
You can try to win free bids by taking part in the referral program of Ofetta. That will be a great advantage, winning free bids that is, for not only that improves your chances of winning by keeping you in the auction longer, it also allows you the luxury to gamble a little as you have nothing to loose.
You should set an upper limit to the amount of bids for an auction, and once you run out of bids for that auction you should decisively move on to the next auction. Stick to the plan always. Save your bids till the last seconds and try to slip in bids at the last moment. Avail of the Bidpal, the automatic bidder when you don't have the time to stay online to bid.
