Bilibid: Veteran bidders stands tall in this new Piso Auction Site.

They give super discounted prices of gadgets, gift cards, vacation sprees and cellphone loads to Filipinos nationwide. They are this Piso Auction Sites that are emerging since June of 2011. 


Pisobid started out the barrage and was followed by Bidangbidder that turns out to be a failure. Then Bilibid came up just months after Pisobid launched its site.


I was pretty excited when this site was launched because it's new and less bidders are registered. However, when the site first auction started, I have noticed numerous and familiar names in it. Names like:



hunter357
papa888
hermanculannay
fortdan023
prettyhazel
jazon168
huggieboy
rogue07
jackklaus
buyandsellme
These are just 8 of the names that comes up in every piso auction site in the country. I can consider them as veterans of the game but, how about the newbies, do they stand a chance from this big guns of bidding? 


I ALSO LEARNED THAT SOME OF THESE NAMES HAVE ISSUES WITH PISOBID THAT IS WHY THEY WERE BANNED FROM THE SITE!


I really want to join in Bilibid but I think I do not stand a chance with these names. They get everything from GC's to the major items.


Take a look at this: This list is only from Aug 30-Present. Notice, how many times these names won!



And lastly, take a look at prettyhazel:


This is the same person who sells bidpacks and the wife of fortdan023:


MEMBERS LIKE ME WHO DOESN'T SELL BIDPACKS, IS NO MATCH WITH THIS WOMAN!


As I am writing this, more or less 60% of the winners in Bilibid is won by the names above. You don't believe it? Check the Winners link in their site.

I really hope Bilibid will impose fairness to their site so that each and every member has the chance to win just like what Pisobid did to theirs. They made NEW AUCTION TYPES to cater every member so that everyone has fair chance to win and these names are not present on their site.
