Yesterday we found the new penny auction site PartyBid.com.
It looks like a lot of the items are ending at low prices.
We checked their source code and it seems that PartyBid.com is powered by Estonian penny auction script developer DigitalFruit.ee, Cactus CMS 3.8.
Back in September of 2009, Digitalfruit.ee offered an autobidder (bot bidding) script addon to prospective customers, the addon is called the Intelligent Investment Protector (IIP). Screenshot of the e-mail.
However, this does not mean that PartyBid.com is utilizing bot/shill bidders.
The registrant for PartyBid.com is private, protected by Moniker Privacy Services.
They do not display a contact phone number or a business name other than “PB Network (TM)”
Have you tried PartyBid.com? We’d love to hear about your experiences!
That’s why online pharmacies is becoming more pop over the last years. 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 yet know about the matter. Sexual dysfunction can be a result of a physical condition. Even when it has a physical why, 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.

I have been with partybid for about 3 weeks, utilizing both the autobidder and manual bid method, I have also been watching several auctions to determine whether it is legit. I have won 6 items in those three weeks: 3 – 50 partybid packs, 1 – $50.00 home depot card and 2 – $50.00 amazon cards – each of these items were won via the autobidder that started at a select $ amount and ended at a select $ amount, ie: start at $.91 and end at $4.50 using 60 bids.
There has also been great support as the home depot card was only redeemable in US, they gave me some options and sent me an amazon.ca equivalent in lieu at my request. The amazon cards have since kept coming as purchased.
Yet, in several of my recent autobidding campaigns, I have noticed some peculiar behaviour and will now no longer bid at partybid. For one auction – it ended 1 cent before my autobidder was set to start. On a second auction – there was another bidder that was bidding wildly and increasing the price well beyond the normal auction sale, my autobidder ran out and he won on the next bid. On a third auction – I was bidding on a particular item that I saw twice go for about $4.35 mark – I spent 403 bids, that ran from 10:45pm till the next day at 1:40pm. The price went to $14.65, and my autobidder ran out while I was in a meeting – a lone bidder who had not yet bid on that item won it immediately after my autobidder ended. I have been keeping track of the winners since then and watching who is winning the auctions and it appears to me that they do have select usernames who miraculously win items after an autobidder appears to have run dry.
Other peculiar behaviour has been – the autobidder is bidding at the 4-6 second mark constantly, vs allowing for other dive bidders to get in there, waiting for the "going" button to appear, then bidding at the last millisecond (for which I would prefer an autobidder to do). Out of 403 bids, I watched about 45 of them – and I would say that roughly 80% of them were at the 4-6 second mark, and about 15% were above that, ie: 18 second mark. I then realized that I was starting to lose money at this "game" and may be a victim of some "bots".
After all this, all I can say is, beware and go with tried and true sites like beezid and swoopo.
Cheers!

Oh, yeah – I also forgot to mention this peculiar behaviour – a user could bid two times in a row – which is really strange, because I (a paying customer) can't bid two times in a row, neither can any other normal bidder… so it must be something/someone who is able to bid two bids in a row. Which is strange and impossible, yet observed several times.
They should've told the bots to not bid two times in a row.
