I've thought about creating my own penny auction site. The problem is the initial upstart...you'd need a huge influx of new members almost immediately,
or else you will be out a great deal of money on those auctions that close as the site is brand new, (as there won't be many bids, or bid packages purchased),
and you will lose money on every auction.

But if you have the cash to weather the storm, you can no doubt, make a HUGE amount of money.
 
This thread is now about Tex-Mex and Mexican and food.

Man, I love me a good fuckin' chimichanga.
 
It's like $8 a bid and they have these bots that just bid against you. Once they squeezed enough out of everyone and paid for the prize, ta da someone wins.

except they're not doing that, they're instead making sure they don't lose with technology that autobids when no human consumers are present bidding any longer up to a break even point.


of course the few lost leaders are planted.

doesn't exactly seem legal- and I see various agencies cracking down on this model hard.
 
We're running BidCactus, which is the only penny auction site to be accredited as a legit auction site by Ernst & Young. A lot of other penny auction sites have bots and things like that to fictitiously drive up bids, don't fulfill products, etc.

BidCactus also has the lowest cost to consumer out of all the penny auction sites (25 bid pack minimum, at $0.75 per bid is $18.75 cost to consumer).

PM me for additional details.
