Interview with MadBid Mini Winner

First Mini Winner

MadBid: Congratulations on winning a brand new MINI!
Sandeep: Thank you!

MadBid: How did you feel when the timer hit zero and the auction closed?
Sandeep: ‘Wow! Is it really me?’ This was my first reaction when I won. I had to pinch myself to believe that it’s not a dream but reality.  I made a friend of mine read the subsequent “congratulations e-mail” a couple of times before I jumped with joy. I now know what it means to be on top of the world!MadBid: Is it true that you only got your driver’s licence 2 weeks ago?
Sandeep: It is.  Having passed my practical test I really wanted to buy a car… then I came across MadBid and said to my self “why not a red MINI?”

MadBid: So how did you first hear about MadBid?
Sandeep: A colleague of mine at work recommended it to me.

MadBid: What did you first think of MadBid?
Sandeep: I could not believe the prices at first…but after I understood the concept I thought it was very attractive with the 1p increases. This gives everyone the chance to win as the price only goes up very slowly. Also, the opening hours are very good, allowing people to bid both during the day and in the evenings.

MadBid: What was the first product you bid for?
Sandeep: I placed my first bid on an iPod Shuffle – and won it!!! After that I went for the TomTom which I got for 10p. With the TomTom in the bag all I needed was a car (laughter) so I started bidding for the Mini… and the rest is history…

MadBid: What advice would you give to people new to MadBid in terms of bidding strategy?
Sandeep: I would give two pieces of advice: (1) have patience (2) use autobids in a smart way:

The key is to wait and follow the auctions very closely. Try to understand how the other bidders are behaving.

Autobid is a great tool and it can be used in many ways. One is to exhaust competitors – as I did on the Mini auction. I ended up wining the Mini on autobids so that tactic worked for me!

MadBid: Any other advice you would like to give other MadBidders?
Sandeep: Be smart about your bidding. I always set up a maximum limit of how much I am willing to spend on a particular product. This way I always have a budget which I don’t exceed.

MadBid: What other products would you like to see on MadBid?
Sandeep: Well, I would like to see more SLR cameras and maybe some home appliances.

MadBid: Finally, remember to drive carefully in your new car!
Sandeep: I will. At least I won’t get lost as I will have my TomTom with me too!

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
