“Perfect Penny” Values for Sniping

7:22 am in Perfect Penny values by jay

Bidders often wonder how many pennies they should put after the dollar value of their bid.  Do you always ask yourself, “Should I bid $24.10, $24.50, or $24.98?  What is the perfect penny value?  Do pennies even matter?”

You are not alone.  eBay veteran “puppetplay” still can’t decide after 12 years and hundreds of intense bidding wars.  ”It seems like the more I want the item, the more pennies I add,” he says, “but then I come back around to zero and it starts over.  Help!”

At BidSlammer, we call this the “perfect penny,” or optimum penny value.  Since eBay’s inception, bidders of all kinds (not just snipers) have debated this:  If such a value exists, knowing it would give that bidder a big advantage.

Win a Free BidSlammer T-Shirt Contest

11:34 am in Announcements by jay

As advertised on the forum, for the month of September 2009 we are accepting guesses on the best pennies value, 00 through 99, to use for snipes. (your guess applies to US auctions only)

You know what we are talking about too! “Hmmm… I’ll set a snipe for 67.60 on this item. Wait! Maybe I should bid 67.65. Or should I bid 67.67?”

Is this you? You are not alone, as it has been debated since eBay’s inception: What is the best value of pennies (1¢ through 99¢) to use for a snipe bid on an eBay auction? The answer would give you a tremendous edge over other snipers who bid manually or with a sniping service like BidSlammer.

And what an interesting answer we found! BidSlammer has discovered the PERFECT pennies value! Take your guess in your BidSlammer Preferences - and learn the winners first week of October!

Hey … even if you can’t figure it out, you at least will have a 1 in 100 chance of guessing right rolleyes.gif We doubt very many people will guess correctly so we will judge free shirts based on who is NEAREST the value.

Put your guess in your user preferences, click on Preferences in your BidSlammer account.

Bullet-Proof Your Snipe Account!

A Guide to 20 Ways You Missed That eBay Snipe!

Hopefully you are not reading this article because you were “slammed,” or outbid on an item that you really wanted.  Well, don’t fret.  In this article, we will discuss 20 ways that you can lose an important item because your eBay account is not set up properly!

We are going to bulletproof your BidSlammer account so that you can significantly reduce your chances of missing out on an item that you want.  Even if you are an eBay guru, you will learn something important, as most of the reasons are not trivial.

Remember, when you snipe, you are “bidding blind” — and you will not know what the problem is, if any, until the bid is actually placed and it’s too late.  Notice we say “outbid,” not “missed.”  You are not missing the snipe since it is placed on time.  Instead, you are being outbid or blocked for a variety of reasons.

If you experience a situation where you receive an unusual error message, we invite you to post it here.  Stay current by subscribing to the thread.  These actions will help us refine our product, eliminate errors, and keep up with the ever-changing world of eBay!

Ok, let’s get started bulletproofing.  Here are the 20 ways you might have missed that snipe!


Reason 1.  You did not meet the minimum bid increment.

The high bid does NOT always win!  Even long-term eBay-ers have to be reminded about the minimum bid increment.
