The Appeal of Penny Auction Sites

If Penny Auction Sites are nothing more than a scam, then why can’t people simply stay away from these sites? Oh yeah, you can win big-ticket items at very low prices, right? Though most people know that it’s highly unlikely they’d ever win some big prize and that they could be better off saving their money- some are still unable to resist and still opt to buy bid packs.



If Penny Bidding Sites are as nefarious and true to their online reputations, why do they remain ‘Legit’? Why are consumer watchdogs turning a blind eye on these reprehensible internet hucksters known as Penny Bidding sites? Aren’t they alarming enough to have consumers up in arms? Not really. I don’t see the BBB or some big brother government trying to shut down these penny sites off their territories.

Penny Bidding sites are legal as far as the laws of the internet and the country they operate in are concern. Because like porn and gambling, Penny Auctions are entitled to exist, we may not like them- what they stand for and how they operate- but no one’s forcing anyone to sign up. You sign up at your own risk. And if you do decide to risk it, you better know what you’re in for! And just like porn and gambling, there’s no going back once you’re hooked! That’s how unequivocally engaging and addicted these penny bid sites are. It’s a cheap and quick thrill where the returns are ruled by probability, chance and luck.

  1. I suggest to read the terms and conditions first before signing up. I have to agree that you sign up at your own risk. Anyway, most of my friends are into Ziinga. According to them, they don't encounter any issues and it seems to be legit. One of my friends won an Ipad 2 last month. I don't see any problem with that though.

  2. I agree on the chance and luck part, there's no real trick to these penny auctions especially with Ziinga no less. if you bid, don't expect to win big. I don't think Penny Auctions are scams, but you do get what you deserve... pennies and nothing of value.

  4. You only need to watch Ziinga for a short time to see that they use bots. You can only win when they turn off the bots! Look at auctions that has ended, ppl only win at short times days apart!
