Hungryhammer.com Bares Its White Bits And Shows Competitors It's NOT Cool To Be "a Clone"

Sept. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- HungryHammer.com was established by the High Cloud Group in 2009 after seeing the clear gap in the entertainment auction industry for providing personal customer service and a transparent bidding engine.

Alex Pyda, Head of Media & Communications at HungryHammer.com says: "We had been watching the industry for a number of months and realised that there was a clear gap available for a site that was based on the core values of honestly, integrity and professionalism."

"There are a huge number of sites out there who have just purchased a "clone" from a foreign website for a few hundred dollars. We know because we bought one and pulled it apart to see what the competition were using."

"It was the best investment we ever made and found out so many things about bidding engines, unfair practices and that some sites out there were run by 16 year olds from their bedrooms"

Pyda explains how Penny Auction sites work and how users can capitalise on them: "Look our industry is not about providing an alternative from shopping on the high street, it's all about providing a fun and dynamic experience for the user as entertainment."

"HungryHammer was built from the grass roots up. We have a development team in house who have built every single element from a blank page and developed it into something that is a user experience. Our bidding engine is so accurate and we know it works that we've even displayed the milliseconds to our users - who else does this?"

"When we tested the "clones" that 90% of the sites out there have bought (have a search on google for "penny auction clone" and you'll see how many there are out there) we were so shocked by how badly designed they were, users hadn't got a chance of winning as the bidding engine would crash or worse close early or with 2 winners!"

“We've spent around £100,000 so far on just website development alone, now that’s commitment to users!”

"Users must look carefully at who they’re spending their money with, same as any other industry around the world. Yes it can be tempting and the offers out there may seem too good to give away but just look carefully at who you're dealing with. If you wouldn’t deal with them face to face, why deal with them on the internet.."

In order to show people that they have nothing to hide, HungryHammer has now opened up a Central London collection service for auction winners to collect their items next day. Pyda says: “...nobody else offers a collection service and this is us showing our commitment to users and not hiding away behind a website”
