Jump in on our Memorial Day Weekend Giveaway!

May, 24th 2013 in Contests, Events by Matt Carney

QuiBids promos are back! Memorial Day’s here and that means a nice long weekend ushering in the dog days of summer. You could spend that time out and about enjoying the sunshine with friends and family but we’re all jealous and want to keep you to ourselves. So here’s a little promo to entice you to spend a little more time indoors this Memorial Day weekend.

We’re giving away thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes (14 products in all, which means you have 14 chances to win if you bid each day!) and you don’t even have to purchase anything. Just place a bid in an auction each day Saturday through Monday and you’ll be entered for one chance to win in that day’s prize drawing. Placing more than one bid doesn’t increase your chances of winning that day’s drawing so you it’s not to your advantage promo-wise to place multiple bids (though it definitely is when it comes to, y’know, actually winning auctions).

Add these Oklahoma tornado relief auctions to your Watchlists

May, 22nd 2013 in Charity, Events, News by Matt Carney

If you turned on the news for even a few minutes in the last two days then you’re probably aware that central Oklahoma’s recently had a rough go of it. Tornados touched down in the area Sunday and Monday, destroying homes and claiming lives in Carney, Moore, and Shawnee.

While QuiBids is headquartered in Oklahoma City, several of our employees live in Moore (the suburb is immediately south of OKC, about a 15-minute drive down I-35 from our offices), and we’ve built personal and communal relationships with a lot of people affected by the tornados. The entire community of Oklahoma’s been devastated, but we’re already in recovery and rebuilding mode, led by the Red Cross and many other non-profits, local churches, and relief organizations.

Please consider donating to the central Oklahoma disaster relief efforts

May, 21st 2013 in Charity, News by Matt Carney

Part of being an Oklahoman is always knowing where to seek shelter.

QuiBids is based in Oklahoma City and the vast majority of our employees were either raised in Oklahoma, educated here, or both, so we know better than most what you’re supposed to do in the spring when the cold and warm fronts collide and tornados start spinning. Yesterday’s storms brought destruction on a massive scale in central Oklahoma, specifically Moore (an OKC suburb where several QuiBids employees live) and Shawnee, a smaller city east of the OKC metro. Whole houses were leveled and as of this post publishing, the state medical examiner has reported that 24 people are dead.

Looking for a deal on QuiBids? Check out our luggage sets!

May, 17th 2013 in Products by Matt Carney

With all the flashy electronics and universal free shipping (for U.S. customers) even on large items like furniture, certain must-have products tend to get overlooked on QuiBids. Customers go for less-essential but really fun stuff like video games and golf clubs which means more practical-minded shoppers can snag huge wins on less-bid-upon items.

May 18, 2013 - QuiBids' Gameplay Saturday Event

Gameplay Saturday: Your chance to win extra big!

May, 15th 2013 in Events, News by Matt Carney

Did you see this weeks’ big e-commerce news that Amazon introduced a new feature called Amazon Coins? We’re flattered to see the big boys incorporating gamification features into their service that have made QuiBids such a fun place to shop for years now.

And while Amazon Coins looks like a way for Amazon to monetize its apps, QuiBids Gameplays and Voucher Bids are your way of winning more auctions here. And this Saturday’s a historic opportunity for you to score a ton of Voucher Bids because almost every auction we host for that 24-hour period will come with a Gameplay! That’s four times as many Gameplays as usual!

Your Watchlist is now easier to use

May, 14th 2013 in Site Features, Tips & Strategy by Matt Carney

If you pay close attention to QuiBids’ Facebook page you might have noticed that we recently updated the functionality of your Watchlist. So here’s a little blog post entailing some more information about that update, with step-by-step instructions for how to use the new function and where on our site you can go to actually use this functionality.

To provide a little context, the QuiBids Watchlist is one of our most frequently used site functions and we expanded its capabilities so customers could add auctions to it from more locations on the QuiBids site. We think you’ll find that it makes it way easier for you to find auctions worth bidding on, and will save you some time!
