BidButler Plugin
BidButler is a plugin that allows users to book some amount of automatically placed bids that will be placed randomly in the defined range of the price.
For example, the user might order 10 bids to be placed in a price range between $10 and $12. Then Bid Butler will randomly place the bids in this range in the last second of the auction. The exact second when it’ll place the bid is random.
According to the opinion of many users, BidButler is a most profitable addition to the penny auction software.
How BidButler works?
If you want to use a BidButler you have to ask him to place at least two bids. Your maximum price has to be at least one USD ($1) higher than the current end price of the auction you want to bid on.
Just tell the BidButler the minimum and maximum price at which you want him to place your bids, as well as the number of bids you’re prepared for him to use and he’ll do the rest.
What happens when there is currently only one BidButler bidding on an auction?
If there’s just one BidButler set to bid on an auction at the current price, its bids will be placed within the final 10 seconds of the auction.
The exact time that the BidButler bids varies – it can be at 10 seconds, or at 1 second … or anywhere in between. We intentionally mix it up so that other bidders are never quite sure whether your BidButler is going to act or not.
Once the BidButler’s bid had been placed the countdown jumps up by the prefigured increment – like after a regular bid. If it is a 20 second increment and the BidButler acted in the last second, it will go up to 21 seconds, and so on.
What happens when two or more BidButlers are set to bid in the same price range?
If there are two or more BidButlers bidding against each other, all the consecutive BidButler bids are placed immediately, and the price and countdown increase with each BidButler bid placed – therefore it’s not possible that one BidButler wins against another BidButler, all BidButlers are equal. Naturally, if one BidButler only has 10 bids and another has 11 bids the second BidButler will win at the end.
Can the user stop his BidButler?
No, the user cannot stop the BidButler after it had been set.
