The Average Everyday Penny Auction Bidder?

A member on our forum asked a great question:

“During my lunchbreak, I often come home and see if I can bid for a few minutes before having to head back to work. On the weekends, I try to bid as well. But I notice that some bidders appear to be on there all the time….which leads me to wonder, how are these people able to bid if they are at work….so it got me thinking…

So, my question is, is there a general demographic for the majority of bidders? Are they retired? Are they stay-at-home parents? Are they young college students bidding in-between classes? Are they out-of-work? Are they from another planet?

(On some penny auctions, unfortunately the bidders are from another planet, here’s our message to them.). )

I realize that some auctions take place in the evening, when everyone should be home to participate. But it seems like the majority of sites auction things during business hours. So, what is the general demographic for the average long-time bidder?”

The question is can they be profiled?

Quantcast & Microsoft both seem to think that they can. Here’s data for the following top penny auctions:


Bidrodeo:bidrodeo demographic

Zoozle: Zoozle seems to be popular with the retired male with a college degree and no children at home.

RockyBid: In contrast, RockyBid attracts a less affluent, slightly more female audience with 71% of bidders over the age of 35.

GoBid:
Just how accurate do you think Quantcast is? Maybe your teenager uses your computer to download music and is constantly updating their Facebook profile. Quantcast says 19% of GoBid users are teenagers aged 13-17. The majority of GoBid users are male with a yearly income of $0-60k.

BidRay:
Bidray attracts a more female audience, the majority of which have not completed college and 1/4 are teens?

Swoopo:
It should be pretty obvious by now that Swoopo attracts a wide audience.

BidCactus:

BidCactus’ user data looks pretty similar to Swoopo’s, this isn’t surprising:
(Way to go BidCactus!)

The demographics may change as we see more penny auction sites geared to niche items. Then again maybe retired males will still bid on Coach handbags to sell on eBay.

Well-known are remedies which are used to reduce inflammation caused by inflammation of the skeletal muscle etc. There were only few examples. Did somebody tell you about canadian generic Viagra? Maybe you afore know about the matter. Sexual dysfunction can be a result of a physical condition. Even when it has a physical cause, psychological problems can make the disorder worse. Sex drive problems are so commonly a product of how you feel that there is something to that “headache” saying after all.
