How It Works

Register for free

Registration is FREE! and once you are a member you can buy bids and win auctions.

Purchase your bids

Bids are sold in quantities of 60 – 600 and the more bids you buy the lower the average bid cost. The average bid costs around $0.64.

Choose your auctions

All auction items are brand new, brand name, and there are always an exciting number of items to choose from!

Bid on an item

Bidding is fun and easy, and each time you bid on an item, one bid will be deducted from your account and the auction price will increase by $0.01 for penny auctions. When you are the last bidder you are the winner!

How much does it cost to bid?

It costs you the price of the bids you place. The cost of the final “Sold” price, plus shipping and handling.


Example:
Suppose a $699 laptop goes at just $14.82
You made 42 “bids” to win this item
Your cost is 42 bids@ an average of $0.64 = $26.88,  plus $14.82 for the auction price = $41.70 (Plus shipping and handling)

What a deal you would have gotten… a $699 Laptop for Just $41.70 plus shipping and handling, and think of all the fun you’d have bidding too. That’s the thrill of TheBidShak.com!

Checking out and receiving your wins

Once you win an auction item just go to your account where the item will be waiting for you in checkout. Simply pay the final auction price plus shipping and handling and it’s yours!

12 great tips and strategies for beginners and seasoned bidders alike:

  1. Take advantage of our special promotions, free bids, and especially our “Buy it now” feature where you can bid safely knowing that your bids can go toward the purchase price. That way everyone’s a winner!
  2. Get to know YourSite and watch a few auctions count down. You’ll learn a lot and want to jump in on the fun.
  3. Watch for the different strategies other members use and develop your own.
  4. Don’t bid on too many auctions at once. Concentrate instead on one or two auctions at a time and go for the win.
  5. Wait until the timer is counting down to under 20 seconds or less, or even later. The key is to be the last bidder in order to win!
  6. Watch for non-peak hours and take advantage of the lighter traffic.
  7. Always make sure you have enough bids to make a serious run for an item you want.
  8. Always be sure how many bids you have remaining and purchase more before you run out. You don’t want to lose an auction because you ran out of bids.
  9. Bid on smaller items too, like Gift Cards and other great products. They go faster and offer a lot of action.
  10. Bid often. The more you bid, the more opportunities you have to win big.
  11. Never get discouraged as our statistics show you have a great opportunity of winning, even as a beginner.
  12. Stick with it. Think of BidCraze.com as a shopping mall with great deals all the time. Over the course of days, weeks, and months, you can rack up thousands in savings. Others do!
