Bidders often wonder how many pennies they should put after the dollar value of their bid. Do you always ask yourself, “Should I bid $24.10, $24.50, or $24.98? What is the perfect penny value? Do pennies even matter?”
You are not alone. eBay veteran “puppetplay” still can’t decide after 12 years and hundreds of intense bidding wars. ”It seems like the more I want the item, the more pennies I add,” he says, “but then I come back around to zero and it starts over. Help!”
At BidSlammer, we call this the “perfect penny,” or optimum penny value. Since eBay’s inception, bidders of all kinds (not just snipers) have debated this: If such a value exists, knowing it would give that bidder a big advantage.
