Smokoo Users Score Big

Feb. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- A SmoKOOL Weekend for RobTheBru

It has been a golden two weeks for RobTheBru. What RobTheBru wants, RobTheBru gets. One thing we know about RobTheBru, he loves shopping. On his last two Smokoo auctions, RobTheBru bought a Mini Cooper Countryman for R89.80, and now a thrilling Hot Air Balloon ride for a mere R84.80.

Not only has the Smokoo shopper secured two of the biggest auctions this month, but he had a lot of fun doing it.

It only takes one bid to win an auction, the final bid. RobTheBru knows this all too well. It’s the final bid that counts. To get you to that point is where different bidders apply different strategy.

The Smokoo editor is looking forward to discussing strategy with the bidder, and promises to publish the interview on the Smokoo blog as soon as it’s written.

The Hot Air Balloon Ride experience comes with an evening at the luxurious Valley Lodge along the Magalies River. The experience is for two people, and both parties will be pampered at the exquisite spa, in-house.

The two will wake up early on Sunday morning, at the crack of dawn, for the exciting thrill of the open air.

Smokoo is South Africa’s premier shopping experience. Shoppers are getting bargains regular shopping sites can’t match. Smokoo is the future of shopping. This is the beginning of web 3.0. Smokoo leads the way.

Prospective bidders must first register an account with us and may then buy a quantity of prepaid bids for use later when they find an item on which they would like to bid.

A typical auction will last for a minimum of 24 hours, but it is in the dying minutes that all the thrills begin!

Contenders now use some of their pre-purchased bids in an attempt to be the last person to place a bid before the automatic countdown timer closes the auction.

The purchase price of an auction item will increase by small, standard increments that often amount to just a few cents whenever a new bid is placed. Each new bid will also result in a stated number of seconds being added to the continuing countdown and will thus allow an opportunity for a further bid from anyone quick enough to beat the time limit.

The winner of an auction will then need to pay the closing bid price to complete the deal and arrange delivery. Thus, the total price paid for the item will amount to the value of the pre-paid bids used plus the purchase price and delivery charge. Together this invariably represents a big discount on the recommended selling price of the item.
