Sell us your penny auction website

Do you run a penny auction website or a lowest unique bid website?

We are actively looking to purchase existing penny auction websites – even including the domain name and hosting package, where applicable. It doesn’t need to even be running our software! It doesn’t need to be established or making a profit, although this would help and make your website a much more desirable asset for us. We are also looking to acquire an existing penny auction franchise. Don’t delay any further, contact a member of the team today for a no-obligation appraisal!

Need a Zeekler Script (Zeek Rewards)?

Need a Zeekler Script (Zeek Rewards)?

If you are looking for a similar website to Zeekler or ZeekRewards, then you’ve come to the right place. For the past few months, phpPennyAuction have been commissioned to create a Zeekler Rewards style system as an additional plugin to the regular penny-auction format. If you are interested in previewing it or trying out a live demo then contact a member of sales today.

What is Zeekler?
Zeekler is rooted in online penny auctions, but one that has expanded to let users invest through an “affiliates” program that also has thousands of members. Those users say there’s money to be made — lots of it — one of the reasons for the company’s continued growth and popularity. We have an affiliate module already integrated into our software as a default feature, however the full functionality of our ‘Zeekler Script’ script can only be realised with an additional plugin.

phpPennyAuction Nulled – Myths about free software

phpPennyAuction Nulled – Myths about free software

Every so often we get an email from someone saying they want a free copy of our software, since they can easily obtain a free copy from the internet with a little searching. However the truth is that “nulled” software is not free. Myth #1 – Using nulled software won’t get me into trouble so it’s worth the risk. Not true! phpPennyAuction actively pursue copyright offenders through the courts – you can find out more about our latest judgement here. Myth #2 – A nulled copy of phpPennyAuction is the same as the retail version. False – you will only find older versions of our software (some going back to 2008!) that are more commonly shared. Buying the latest version entitles you to the latest security updates and all future upgrades are FREE. Older versions have vulnerabilities, fewer auction formats, dated templates and more – adding new features will cost you MUCH more in development costs than it costs to buy one of our scripts, guaranteed. Myth #3 – I can’t afford to buy the software. Again this is false, we offer a monthly payment plan making our great software affordable to anyone. Myth #4 – All software companies make massive profits, you won’t miss my custom. If only this was true! We are a small business and likewise appreciate every single one of our customers. That’s why we provide 100% free updates for life, we don’t believe in “punishing” those who have already paid for our software. Don’t forget that less income for us in turn equates to a lower spend on software engineers, support and marketing specialists, which means more potential competition on the market for you and your work.

The above points show that the only party seriously affected by the illegal use of pirated software will most likely be you. You’ll strip yourself of support, help, and product updates, get unwanted attention from the law and may risk a major lawsuit you don’t have a chance to win in the event your project turns out to be a huge success. In the process, you will waste more money and time on trying to do everything yourself. Is all of that really worth it?

Free Penny Auction Script

Free Penny Auction Script

Do you need a free penny auction script? Unfortunately, a lot of the ‘free’ scripts available are stolen, nulled or otherwise illegal for commercial/personal use. Whilst you might think that you are getting great value for money by purchasing penny auction script/software that is free, the costs are often much greater – do you have time to manage resources of your server when it collapses under strain? Do you have the funds available to refund your customers when the website stops working? As with anything, when starting up a new business there are several risks involved – why make it harder for yourself by using an illegal copy of someone else’s software?

If something is too good to be true, then it probably is! Don’t run the risk of using stolen software as this might subject you to civil or criminal prosecution.

Please note that we do NOT provide free penny auction scripts, and there are no websites or resellers permitted to give our software away for free. Our website packages start from $250. If you are serious about starting a penny auction website, then avoid free penny auction scripts that are available as, experience dictates that they are worth less than nothing.

Penny auctions and gambling

Gary T — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:42:44 +0000

Penny auctions and gambling

One of the hottest topics in recent times with regards to penny auctions is whether or not they are in fact gambling. Many of the forums dedicated to penny auctions and gambling websites contain page after page of debate material on this controversial subject.

The fact is that while penny auctions can indeed be considered as similar to gambling, they do not have all of the features or meet all of the criteria to actually be classed as gambling. Unlike gambling where the return on your upfront investment is directly related to luck, penny auctions do not contain the same risk factor as luck and chance. The reason for this is because you are not waging your money on the probability that a certain event will happen. Instead, you are spending your money on a bid to place on an auction that you have a fair chance of winning.

In any form of penny auction – with exception to lowest unique bid auctions – the last bidder to bid will win the auction and the prize. It can therefore be said that your chances of winning on a penny auction are more based on your skill of choosing the correct time to bid as opposed to sheer luck.

How people win penny auctions

Those who are particularly successful at penny auctions tend to be more skillful with regards to the timing of their bid placement. The majority of penny auction winners tend to place a sufficient number of bids at the correct time, while at the same time placing the lowest number of bids they possibly can in order to minimize their own costs.

Create your own penny auction website with phpPennyAuction

So are penny auction websites legal? Yes they are, unless of course they are fraudulent. No existing penny auction websites have ever been regulated or closed down for contravening any US gambling laws. And are penny auctions gambling? Although the line between penny auctions and gambling is extremely thin, penny auctions are not regarded as gambling due to the element of skill that is involved in order to win.
