It’s 2010! Happy New Year!

Our FIRST (and definitely not the last!) giveaway was a success, we received 319 entries from 102 users, and will soon award prizes to 44 winners!

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who sponsored a prize(s) for our giveaway in honor of Penny Auction Watch’s  six-month anniversary.

In order to be eligible to win our contest, forum users had to tell why they love penny auctions.

In addition to some great (and humorous) entries, a few of our awesome (you’re all awesome!) readers made YouTube videos

and blogged about us!:

“I figure that I can now use this to discuss other ‘important’ things.

Like Penny Auctions.  Have you ever heard of them? They are a great way to get hot items at sick prices! I mean – REALLY low prices sometimes. And other times, sometimes closer to retail. But usually low.

The problem is knowing who is legit and where to spend your money. A great tool in figuring that out is the PennyAuctionWatch forums, where penny auction sites are reviewed, discussed, critiqued, admired and ripped apart (those that deserve it).”

&

“Shortly after I found my first penny auction site - pennypurses.com – I started googling around for other sites and found pennyauctionwatch.com. A visit to this site is a MUST for anyone thinking about taking the plunge into the penny auction world. Luckily, I found PAW before I tried any other site and, knock on wood, I’ve never been ripped off or invested money into a site that was a scam. The PAW blog is a great resource for exposing scam sites, but don’t stop there, dive into the forums and read reviews on dozens of pennyauction sites by PAW users. You will quickly learn which sites are legit and which sites are a scam…and if you don’t see a site you are wondering about you can always start a thread for it and you will likely get feedback on the site from several PAW users.”

Since you’ve all been patiently waiting,  here are the…*drumroll, please!*
