There are people everywhere that are less fortunate than us (and how many iPods do we really need? ) So this got us thinking, what if each month PAW members would suggest an organization in need, vote on the one that we sponsor each month and then send anything directly to this organization.

Penny auction sites are opening and closing all the time, the dozens of daily requests for penny auction software, and the 65+ penny auction sites that went out of business in 2009 alone is testimony to this.
The dozens of unethical penny auction site owners that are employing automated-bot bidders, manually shill bidding, not fulfilling [...]
We developed Penny Auction Watch to be a place for penny auction enthusiasts to go for penny auction information. To provide an outlet for open discussion & a place to let users know which penny auctions seem to be legitimate; auctions where one has a chance at winning, as opposed to sites that don’t deliver what they advertise and are quite possibly set up to rip penny auction bidders off. When we find these less-than-honest sites we'll tell you about them and what we think they're doing wrong. But we can't do any of this without your help, e-mail us if you suspect a penny auction site or have any questions!
We welcome you to join our penny auction forum and share your experiences with others!
Thanks for stopping by! -Penny Auction Watch℠, Established May 2009.
