HappyBids is a new type of auction that combines the best of
online shopping with entertainment. Enjoy the experience of joining in live auctions and trying to get great deals!

HappyBids features new in the box manufacturer merchandise only! Bids start at $0.01 each and have no reserve unless stated otherwise. Bids are $0.60 each, try us out and you could be the next big winner!

Every time a bid is placed in a penny auction the price increases by one cent. When the clock becomes lower then 2 minutes every time a bid is placed the clock will increase anywhere from 8-12 seconds every time. When the clock increases this gives other users the opportunity to place another bid (similar to the 'going,going,gone '). The Auction will then end if there are no further bids and the clock (counter) has hit zero. Be the last one standing and you will receive optimum savings!

A downtime, or outage, is an occasional and unforeseeable problem with the internet, and means that bids cannot be placed during this short period when we are offline. If we experience downtime at any point, we automatically increase end time so that our bidders are not left at a disadvantage. It is impossible to place any bids while the system is experiencing downtime, so any bids attempted during this period will not be accepted or debited from your account. If this situation does occur, we advise you to refresh your screen regularly, either by pressing F5 or the refresh button on your browser. In the event that an auction ends prematurely due to a system outage or an unforeseeable disruption in service, all ended auctions will be reviewed on a case by case basis. HappyBids reserves the right to deem any won auction as null and void during a system outage.
