Since Anybidwin.com’s sales system
is completely transparent to all bidders, it is recommended to take advantage
of this fact in order to increase the bidder’s chances to win.
Every
auction displays the list of bidders arranged in descending order of bids. On
display are the bidder’s user number, city of origin, and the bid’s position. The
bid’s Dollar amount, however, is blocked for as long as the auction is
live.
So
let’s examine this situation:
Every
bidder knows his own bid amount and can see his position number in the bidders
list. So if you recognize your user number and city on the bidders list and it
is positioned at number 4, then it is possible to determine the bids above you
and take the appropriate action.
This
strategy is known as “Bracketing” and here is an example how it can be
utilized:
The
bidder places several bids at consistent intervals. Bidding on an item with
maximum price of $950.00, using 5 Cents intervals: (Any interval can be used
and tweaked later)

The bidder can place a new bid in order to move up its position or to strike out the bids
above and thus move up.
This strategy is especially effective in the last hours of the auction.
