Bidding is Fancy!

A couple of days ago I came across this amazing website that allows users to bid on Fancy things. It’s a great way for buying designer bags, IPhones, camera’s, … at extreme low prices. It’s such a creative concept that I just had to share this with you all! J

Follow these simple steps to join the fun!

1.       Create your account on www.thefancybid.com.

2.       Purchase a bid package.

3.       Choose the item you would like to bid on.

4.       Start bidding by clicking on “bid now”.

All items start at zero dollars. Every time somebody places a bid, the item's price increases by one cent.

My experience

After participating in an auction, I immediately found out that bidding comes with a little bit of gambling. Besides making the highest bid, it’s also majorly important to bid on the exact right moment. The exact right moment is when nobody is bidding, so you can make the last bid, but when is that moment? That’s right … you never really know!

A lot of people complain about the fact that they used 100 dollars without getting the item they were bidding on, but that’s just part of the game. If you choose to join the bid, then you should be aware of that. Also decide wisely on how much money you want to spend for an item.

I highly recommend keeping a constant eye on the auction. But I have to warn you, an auction could go on for a very long period of time after the initial countdown has ended. That’s because each extra bid placed after the end time, will reset the counter to 15 seconds again. You will need a lot of patience J

Know when to stop

I myself bought a 30 dollar package, if I don’t win a bid after using up the package, I won’t ever buy another package. I recommend making some kind of little agreement with yourself in order to keep your bidding under control.

I don’t know if the website doesn’t allow people under the age of 18. However, I strongly advise against underage people using the platform. All in all, money is involved. Therefore you should use the platform wisely. The concept is really nice, remember to keep it fun! ;-)

Happy bidding! J - Amal ♥
