What’s a Penny Auction?

New – Updated SkoreIt Promo Codes as of 11/15!

A user posted a question to our forum about Skoreit’s sudden influx of new players, we looked into this and found out that SkoreIt.com has recently rolled out a national ad campaign on ESPN and is being mentioned on the Mike & Mike in the Morning Show, they’ve also told us that they were a top trended search term on Google today.

Many Penny Auction Watch members have received items from SkoreIt and are overall pleased with their experiences on this penny auction site.

A PAW member writes of her positive experience with SkoreIt:

“Recently I became aware of penny auctions. I decided to check out a couple of site and see how they worked. After reviewing several sites I decided to try Skoreit.com for my first experience. What swayed me towards their site were their low bidding cost. After reveiwing previous won auctions I noticed most I sold for under $25.00, which was another bonus. After purchasing my first bids I proceeded to bid on a camera retail value $130.00. I won the bid at $2.79 with the cost of bids and shipping my total cost were approximately $22.00. Feeling overjoyed I bid on a laptop computer, $100.00 gift card, Flip video camera and an ipod touch. All of which I won at great prices. What was more impressive, all these items I received within4 business days and they were in great condition. I really can’t say enough good about my experience….thank you Skoreit.com for making a penny auction site fun and profitable.”
