Users new to QuiBids often require some time and help before they completely understand our auction platform and start winning auctions. We here at QuiBids hate for any new user to struggle with using the website. We understand you can shop anywhere, so we want for you to succeed on our site and to enjoy yourselves doing it. So here goes a little article offering some tactical advice for you beginners. It’s natural to feel daunted going into your first couple of auctions, so consider this your plan of attack. Let’s start with two scenarios typically encountered by new QuiBids users: Scenario 1: Joseph Blow purchases $24 worth of bids in an attempt to haul in a new laptop. “I'm going to score this laptop for $24 at most and save a ton of money!" True to his last name, Joe spends all his bids on the laptop auction, but doesn’t walk away with a brand new computer. "I don't like QuiBids!” “I didn't get my laptop for $24 and lost all my money! I'm never coming back."  

The story ends sadly for Joe and QuiBids both, since he lost $24 and we lost a customer.osterizer blender model 403 parts Scenario 2: Sally Shopper stumbles upon the QuiBids site, drawn in by the amazing low prices that QuiBids products sell for. oster monterey blender“How hard can this be?” she says. used frac blender for sale“It doesn’t look much different from eBay. tribest personal blender pb-250 review Sally buys a BidPack and dives into the action headfirst. cuisinart smart stick apricot

So ends another sad story. We've heard countless stories like these two. Some of you might be able to relate.  It really hits home to lose money. We don’t want anybody to walk away empty-handed like Joe Blow or Sally Shopper, who fell victim to three of the biggest mistakes that users make in their first experiences with QuiBids. We can't stress this enough, but users need to set realistic goals when participating in auctions.  If someone is new to an online auction, he or she shouldn't expect to win a laptop on the first try with only the cheapest bid pack available.

We’re not saying it couldn't happen... it could and it has. BUT, it is highly improbable. Know that you’ll be bidding against users with far more experience and that the odds are against you because of it. While everybody loves an underdog, we encourage new users to start using the site by participating in smaller auctions. You’ve gotta crawl before you can walk, right? 2) Going for the big catch It’s not wise to immediately go after the most popular item on our site.  There are a lot more competitors vying for the popular products,  and many of them are our highly skilled veterans. Once acquainted with the site you’ll then understand that going after popular products warrants certain measures to protect your bid investment. We recommend that you commit to only one such auction at a time and that you don’t get too involved without considering using the “Buy Now” feature (if you don’t win, that is). Don't spread yourself too thin when bidding on the big-ticket items.  

Be willing to devote more time and money to increase your odds of winning.  We find that any participant willing to spend about 1/3 of the value of the item in bids greatly increases his or her odds of winning the item. As with anything you invest your money in, do research before jumping into QuiBids entertainment retail auctions. Each auction is going to be different from the others, so read and understand our Terms & Conditions, familiarize yourself with the "Buy Now" option, the Bid-O-Matic tool and our pricing structure. We also recommend carefully watching other auctions to see how they unfold. All this will help you to understand “the nature of the business," as well as what we strive to accomplish with our site.  By limiting your understanding of the system, you are setting yourself up at a severe functional disadvantage. As we always say, we offer a fun and exciting online auction experience for our customers. We think that a stronger grasp on the QuiBids system will help enrich your experience and facilitate a better, more fun shopping experience.

It’s true: Those amazing 20% off one item coupons you get in the mail don’t really expire. Though there may be an expiration date, most stores will accept these coupons past that date. So they’re a pretty hot commodity. You can purchase them in bulk on eBay. Some extreme coupon forums recommended renting a PO Box just to get them at more than one address. Which might explain who is selling those coupons on eBay. There are now a billion* ways to get the famed 20% off one item coupons: email, snail mail, inside newspapers or print magazines, Facebook sign-ups and even by text message. But the holy grail 20% off your entire purchase coupons are a lot harder to come by. , the selection is random and the coupon usually comes via snail mail or when you move to a new address. If you use a BBB registry, they’ll usually send you additional coupons to complete your list. And you can even use your registry as a receipt if you need to return items later on.

The online and mobile version of the coupons DO actually expire. Those emailed codes and shopping portals don’t work past the listed date. But if you’re on the list to get emailed or text-message coupons, they usually send a new one as soon as your old one has expired. If you somehow still don’t have a coupon, leaving an item in your online cart can help. You might get an email with a special coupon to change your mind on your abandoned item. Just make sure you’re signed in with your email address when browsing. Go here for a list of other stores that reward indecision with savings. Forget your coupon when you actually go to the store? You can get a “coupon adjustment” next time you’re there. Just bring your coupon and your receipt and they will refund you the coupon amount. You actually can’t use any coupons or discounts on a lot of major brands. Other brands listed as exclusions in the fine print include: Arthur Court, Bugaboo, Bumbleride, Clek, Coravin, CYBEX, DaVinci, Fitbit, Foundations, Franklin & Ben, Inglesina, Kenneth Cole Reaction Home, Kosta Boda, Lladró, Maxi-Cosi, Miele, Monique Lhuillier, Orrefors, Peg Pérego, Roomba 800 & 900 Series Vacuums, Shun, Southern Tide, Star Wars BB8 by Sphero, Stokke, Storksak, Svan, Swarovski, Swash, Under Armour, Bosch Stand Mixers, George Kovacs

, iComfort, iSeries, and more. You also can’t use the coupons to buy baby furniture, diapers, wipes, or baby food. But the store does accept competitor and manufacturer coupons. So if one of the brands or products you see excluded has a coupon from another store or a lower listed price, they should match that price according to their “Price Match Guarantee.” This also counts for lower rates at online retailers like Amazon (but not third-party sellers) as long as the products are identical. You can use these coupons at all Bed Bath & Beyond company stores, which includes World Market… A specialty/import retailer that sells furniture, home decor, international food products, and alcoholic beverages. A discount health and beauty store. Which confusingly also sells nonseasonal things like furniture and home decor. …and Buy, Buy Baby. But even Buy Buy Baby branded coupons still can’t be used on diapers, wipes, formula, baby food, or baby furniture.
