This week marks the two-year anniversary since popular penny auction, SkoreIt.com, opened its doors to consumers and sports/gaming fans world-wide.

Happy birthday, SkoreIt!

Since they opened, SkoreIt! has made their mark on the map of the penny auction industry by operating a truly great site. From the start, they have offered stellar customer service, highly-desirable auction items, quick shipping, and a well-oiled script and site. However, SkoreIt! really hit their stride when they began advertising on ESPN and found a competitive market of sports-crazed fans who are willing to battle day-in and day-out on SkoreIt.com.

Since that time, SkoreIt! has grown exponentially, and so has their fan-base. In fact, SkoreIt! is the most talked-about site on PennyBurners. With a SkoreIt! Forum that has more than 5,000 posts and over 125,000 views, it's clear that their fans are passionate and always willing to discuss auction wins (and losses) and bidding strategies.

We have consistently been impressed with SkoreIt!, and even more so with Joe Crivello, COO, with whom we've maintained a great professional relationship over the years. Joe and his team are always seeking innovative ways to keep things fresh, fun, and lively on SkoreIt!, and overall, their plans have played out well.

SkoreIt! recently announced new product offerings, including a Health & Beauty Section, more electronics than ever, and even an Automotive Section. Not too long ago, they implemented the "Own Today (OT) Feature", where, on certain auctions, the losing bidders have the opportunity to apply the price of the bids they invested in the auction toward the purchase of the item at our listed retail price. This greatly limits financial loss, as most bidders typically only on bid on things they want.

SkoreIt! also listened to their fans when they asked for auctions free of bidding agents, a program provided by the site that bidders set to bid for them if they have to leave their computer. Thus, "All Action Auctions (AAA)" was born! With this feature, the auction is truly live, as bidders are not allowed to "set it and forget it". They must be present and paying attention to get the leg up on this one! This type of auction is my favorite, as it creates excitement and anticipation over who will give up or run out of bids first - and who will win.

There are plenty of great things we could say about SkoreIt!, but don't just take our word for it. There are thousands of reviews for them on the PennyBurners Penny Auction Forum. Feel free to join the community and ask questions, or participate in the lively discussions that happen daily. (It's FREE and EASY to join PennyBurners!)

SkoreIt! & U.S. Bank: A New Venture

Popular penny auction site, SkoreIt.com, announced today the release of SkoreIt! U.S. Bank Visa Gift Cards!

From their announcement:

"Only after a rigorous review by U.S. Bank are these cards being made exclusively available to SkoreIt! members, setting SkoreIt! apart from other auctions sites. These cards not only make great gifts for family and friends, but also are a win for you! SkoreIt! U.S. Bank Visa gift cards can be used anywhere where Visa debit cards are accepted, making them an extremely flexible and convenient gift.

Because of their value, we do have a few guidelines that are associated with our new SkoreIt! U.S. Bank Visa Gift Cards that we wanted to share with you.
