BidRivals is temporarily off-line.

All auctions are paused and will resume as soon as we are on-line again. All placed bids have been saved.

In order to be fair to all users, we have designed the BidRivals system to have daily site maintenance updates, this gives the database time to catch up which ensures all auctions run smoothly.

We have scheduled maintenance updates daily at:
08:15 (GMT+1)

During Maintenance updates the site will be offline for an estimated 10 to 15 minutes.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are doing our utmost to have the system on-line as soon as possible.

Best regards,
The BidRivals Team

While the site is down, here are a couple of steps to become a Winner on BidRivals.com:

1. Check out our FAQ's and How it works section: This will make life easier for you and will help you learn the easy way.
2. Be prepared: Make sure you have enough bids for the item that you intend to win. As a rule of thumb, the higher the value of the item, the more bids are required.
3. Study the closed auctions. Try to have a look at closed auctions of the same type of products you want to buy. You will see the numbers of bids that users have placed.
4. Start slow. If you are a beginner, practice your strategy on lower value products because they attract less users, so there is less competition.
5. Focus on one auction at a time. Don't spread your bids out on a whole lot of auctions; keep what you have in reserve for winning the auction you really want.
6. Take the NO RISK option. Bid on auctions you want to buy, so even if you don't win the auction, you can still buy the item and get the value of your bids placed back as an auction. No loss there!
7. Don't miss out on the action, even when you are not at your PC: the BidAgent is a powerful tool if you use it smartly. With the BidAgent you will place offers in the last seconds of the timer, even if you are not there.
8. Keep your expectations realistic: More expensive auctions generally have more Competition. Be ready to go all the way if you are going to take down the experienced bidders.
9. Keep an eye out for hidden opportunities: If everyone is bidding on the latest iPhone then net yourself a great deal on the gift card.
