Posties get free stuff from HP

This post is brought to you by HP, the leader in Digtal Photo Printing and Photography

Recently HP went on a Postie Patrol with PPP. The whole thing was documented in a pretty cool video that you can watch down below. They were in the giving mood in their visit to Chicago and hooked up a postie with some great HP Digital Cameras and Digtal Photo Printing gear. My favorite parts of these videos is the introduction because it kind of gives you a sense of who exactly the person is behind their big mass of HTML and everyday talk. (That and the I heart HP on her head was also funny.) Not only that, but these Patrols are really cool now that you can get some sweet HP gear for it.

Here's the video:

X Entertainment to change the Epic Zone.

The Epic Zone started off as a few small posts from an angry guy named the Epic. Now after almost 3 years on the web the Zone has grown. Hey that rhymes. Anyway, the Epic Zone is supposed to be going through a change over the next month or so. The site will be more than just the angry rantings of the Epic, this time we'll be bringing in some great new features. Soon, all users will be able to add their own rants, news, and funny stuff to the Epic Zone via their home page. We'll be signing up accounts in the near future so keep an eye out for that important update. There's no date set for this, but we're expecting it to be pretty soon.

Oprah, You're in Trouble Now

This post was proudly brought to you by HP, the leader in Digital Camera Technology.

I have one serious problem here guys. You see I woke up this morning to a loud thump and found that no one was home. I went out to see what's caused the noise and that's when I found... it. There was a note taped on the fridge, how did they know I would go there first? The note read like this:

"Dear Epic,

We have your mother. You need to follow my instructions very carefully if you ever wish to see her again. I am on a hunt and I need help from the best, that's where you come in. I need pictures of that guy who played Steve Erkel on that one crappy show. You need to get me some digital photos of you standing next to him, none of that photoshop garbage, and print it out. Once you do that just call this number (taken out for security reasons). You'll know what to do after that.

-Oprah"

That's right, Oprah kidnapped my mom and the only way I can get her back is by finding that guy who played Steve Erkel and taking a picture. There's only one problem here, I don't have a digital camera. I could use a sweet digital camera from HP to take my pictures of that dude, also a photo printer would help. Please guys, I am broke and have no way of paying for a camera. I need this to save my mom. After all, who will make dinner while she's gone? Hurry please.

Site will be back up.

Tomorrow night the Penny-Auctions web site will be returning to business. We'll be offering up a total of 9 more games that are all starting off at a penny. Check out these auctions tomorrow night so you can jump on the good savings. There should also be some other sweet items coming in the near future so keep your eyes glued to the site in the coming weeks.

Karaoke

This is a paid ad:

Most people love going to the bar on Karaoke Night. It doesn't matter whether or not you're the greatest person to ever sing a note or just some drunk on the stage. Karaoke is a fun thing to do and you can take the party home with you. If you're looking to have your very own karaoke party than just check out this Home Karaoke Machine Guide for more information on these great machines.

Xpic gallery being updated soon.

Jack Xian of Xpic left this following message on the home page of Xpic.

"Right now I'm working on a huge celebs update that will add about 20 celebs. So who would you like to see that's not here? I'll be checking this section out so add your comments and suggestions."

This sounds like really good news for those of whom are looking for some high quality pics. Jack doesn't usually disappoint.

*Credit Advice*

This ad is paid for using PayPerPost:

I am here today to talk about my opinion on Credit. Credit can be such a great thing if it's used wisely. The problem with credit is that it's designed to take advantage of those who aren't smart enough to manage it properly. Many people will advertise 0% credit cards, but those are mostly for people with great credit. If you're looking to build some credit than you may need to review some credit card advice. In case you're not sure what's going on in the world of credit cards, you need to check out this page about credit card news. This will help you manage your credit better so you can apply for those great 0% credit cards.

Site Will be Down.

Due to the hectic christmas period we won't be updating the site over the next day or so. This is going to allow all of our future auctions to end after Christmas. So if you didn't get what you wanted than just check us out afterwards. We should return with new items on Wednesday. Thanks.

NOS

This ad is brought to you by Nitrous Direct:

Are you looking to make your car faster and more powerful? NOS could be a quick solution to your power problem. If you need to get an edge on other racers than you should get some Nitrous. Nitrous Oxide can make your car gain speed in an instant and it's not a very expensive upgrade.

An early Merry Christmas

In case I get swamped over the holiday season and can't get to the blog fro a few days I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope you guys all get what you want for the holidays. Of course if you didn't get what you're looking for you can always request it right here on Penny Auctions. That's what I'm here for folks.

Ok, I'll tell.

This post is brought to you by PayPerPost and proceeds go to help keep Penny Auctions Alive:


As of Monday the company that lets me sell blog advertising, PayPerPost, will be requiring all of the posts made using the system to be disclosed. In other words, I HAVE to let everyone know that I'm being paid for my ad. It's not too bad of a plan, but to me I think it takes away some of the freedom that the users had. Oh well though, I always let people know about my ads anyway so it's not a real big deal. The fact is though, many advertisers on this site have some pretty good products to sell. I've been to a few advertiser sites and liked them so don't just ignore those guys cause it's an ad. Oh well, that's the FCC taking our freedom away.

Free Code

I'm in a generous mood tonight so I'm going to give all of you a coupon code for Penny Auctions. This code can only be used once so it's a first come first serve basis. If you win something and the coupon has been used than I am sorry, but you have to pay the full price. Anyway, the coupon is PA983. To redeem just win one of our Current Auctions, Contact us through eBay with the Contact Buyer feature and tell us the code. After that you'll receive an invoice with 10% knocked off the auction ending value excluding shipping costs.

*Need a raise*

We'll I'm working for a very young company, but it's never to early to think about a raise. Afterall, with all of the junk I deal with I deserve a raise. That's why I'm going to get my boss some Performance Review Software so he can manage his review of me easier and I can get my raise on time. I'll also be getting him a box of chocolates, but that's besides the point.

The deal with Guitar Hero II

Alright so I'm looking at the finances here and it turns out that the money we've set aside for our special deals section was more than enough to get Guitar Hero II plus the guitar for a giveaway.

So here's the official deal on Guitar Hero II. Anyone buying an item from us between now and January 15th will be entered to win Guitar Hero II. If you don't want to buy an item you can just donate the site $2.00 and you'll be entered as well. On January 31st we will draw the name for our winner. The winner will receive:

1. The Guitar Hero II game
2. Guitar Controller
3. A 15% off coupon for Penny Auctions

That's not all though. There will be two other names chosen. The first runner up will get a 10% discount on their next purchase from Penny-Auctions and the second runner up will recieve 5% off of their next purchase.

*Btw, you are entered once for every item you buy OR every $2.00 you donate. Therefore you can enter as many times as you'd like.*

*Financial Advice*

If you're not the kind of person who can keep track of your finances than you should look into the Thrifty Scot. Thrifty Scot is a finance site that can help you with such things as choosing the right credit cards, or handling your mortgages wisely. The site is updated on a daily basis and they give all of the latest financial news and tips. The Thrifty Scot can really help you out with your secured loans and the questions you may have about home insurance.

Not only that, but the Scot can also help you decide what savings accounts would be right for your needs. It's true that the Thrifty Scot really does have everything you need when it comes to financial information.

Pile up the savings.

From now until the end of the year all item requests will be 5% off. That's right, if you request an item and win the auction for it you will get 5% off of the auction value. The discount is only available for the person that made the request so get to our Request an Item form and start typing in your items. We'll try our hardest to get those items to you.

*Promotion*

Everyone out there running a business is looking to make themselves more recognizable in their industry. Well something that can help people remember your company name would be some great trade show giveaway items such as pens, mugs, etc. I have all kinds of pens from businesses that were handing them out. Later on this kind of name recognition will be helpful.

Suppose I am looking to promote penny auctions. If I hand out some pens and people take them than they just might think about my business first when it comes to finding items to buy on the internet. When you're running your own business you have to weigh the gains from certain things. When you're promoting your business you need to weigh in the idea of getting some trade show giveaway items that can help get your name out there. Because afterall, if no one has ever heard of your business how will they know to go there?

Xpic X-Girls coming soon.

Modeling is a billion dollar industry. With such competition it's sometimes hard for people to get a break. Many of them like to post promotional pictures of themselves on MySpace. Xpic wants to bring them together by adding on some great pictures of amatures on MySpace. The site will feature some great pictures of Amatures that you would probably never see otherwise. So get ready, one of the greatest amature databases ever is about to be seen. Xpic - The Hottest Place to Find Babes Listed on MySpace.

*No Hassle Banners*

Build A Sign is a site that helps get you banners custom made for your site. If you're unable to make a nice banner yourself than these guys can give you Custom Banners at a low cost. All you have to do is go to the site and customize the look from size, style, and more. If you're unskilled with banner making than I suggest this for yourself.

Guitar Hero II Free?

That's right we're going to be giving away Guitar Hero II with guitar. This chance is once in a lifetime so check it out. Any customer from now until January 15th will be entered into a drawing for Guitar Hero II. The winner will be chosen and announced on January 31. Good luck and happy bidding folks.

*Poker*

I have today a link to a great site for some Free Poker stuff. It's called Poker Savvy. This site will show you how to be the best poker player around. The site can give you some great tips, good discounts on online casinos and much more. So check out Poker Savvy and hopefully you'll be able to find something that is right for you.

More items coming soon.

I've gotten a hold of a few newer releases for various game consoles. They will be posted very shortly. Check out our great list of items and don't forget to support our sponsers. They are what keep us alive.

*Affiliates*

I'd like to announce the great idea of an affiliate program from our sponsors Pay Per Post. Currently PPP is offering an Affiliate program that can earn you boatloads of money really easily. The site that let you have paid posting on your own personal blog will now give you up to $15 for every person that signs up and posts something on their own blog using the PPP system. It's so easy that we'll be taking part in this system and we are going to be looking around for some people that are looking to make some money off of their blogs. In fact, if you would like to email us we can hook you up.

We need requests.

Come on guys, Penny Auctions needs some item requests. We want to know what you want to buy. We're also offering 5% off the item to the person that requested it. So go now and request stuff.

*Jack Black*

Check out this video via Maxim Online. It features the one and only Jack Black in an interview with Maxim.



I have to say his newest movie release looks like it's going to be completely awesome. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. Even then, when the newest Jack Black movie is released on DVD you can almost be certain to look for it on Penny auctions as a Penny Deal. I hope to be checking out the new movie pretty soon so hopefully I can get a review up for you. Either way, check out this video for now.

Guitar Hero II

Has anyone played this? I just did for the first time and I was blown away. I was going to try it at Wal-Mart, but I'm glad I didn't. I probably would've fought the little kids for it and got banned from the store. Oh well, either way it's awesome and I love it.

*More stocking stuffers*

If you're dealing with a different type of person perhaps the right stocking stuffer might be a radar gun, rifle scopes, or maybe some binoculars from Optics Planet. Regardless, Optics planet has everything you need for someone into hunting, fishing, or maybe even just bird watching. Optics Planet also gives free shipping on orders of 29.95 so check them out.

Stocking Stuffer

Penny Auctions has put up one heck of a stocking stuffer. An Apple iPod Shuffle is a great stuffer for this holiday. No matter what size stocking you have this tiny MP3 player will fit in nicely. Not only that, but Penny Auctions is selling it along with free shipping. It will make it just in time for the holidays too. How cool is that?

*Thanks*

I would like to take this chance to thank my advertisers that are purchasing blog ads from me through a company called PayPerPost. PPP offers us the chance to use this blog to make extra income. I have used all of this extra income to actually make and maintain the Penny Auctions website I started. In fact, without the ad revenue from this blog and PPP, Penny Auctions wouldn't exist. Now I know I could have used this money for buying gifts and all, but that's just silly. Instead I can use the profits from Penny Auctions to do that. In case you're unsure about Penny Auctions, check out the site. That's www.penny-auctions.net. All of our products are bought with ad revenue and the site is completely funded by blog ads from PayPerPost. So thanks PayPerPost. You've helped me create something great.

Free Shipping!

During the month of December we will be offering free Media Mail shipping through USPS on all of our video games. You can check out the current set of auctions or you can request video games and they will also be set with free shipping if we can get a hold of them for you. Free Shipping only applies to Media Mail, for other shipping rates, see the auction you're bidding on for prices. We're going crazy for deals so take advantage.

*Find a Russian Woman*

It might not be well known but, millions of men from US, UK, Canada and Australia meet, marry and have loving families with Russian brides? Many couples create successful families and raise wonderful kids who go on to be useful parts of society. Marriages to Russian brides have a proven track record of success. You can also find a loving Russian wife at Lovers Planet - a dating site that focuses on international online dating.

Russian wives are known as some of the hottest and sexiest women in the world. A typical Russian woman looks good enough to make your pants tingle. Dating girls from Russia is certainly different from your local dating experience. Most Russian ladies have well-developed family values. A Russian wife is great if you're looking for a long-term relationship or even marriage.

New plan on the board for Penny auctions.

I've come up with a new idea for the way Penny Auctions will run. If the idea is possible than it will bring a much larger number of items for sale on Penny Auctions. Currently it's very late and I have some other work to do, but come tomorrow morning I'll be crunching numbers to see if my plan will help the business. What's good for Penny auctions is good for you so keep it here for more information on that.

*Free Phone*

The hot deals website dealking.com is giving away a free T-Mobile Prepaid cell phone. The site has some very great deals on it and this isn't the only deal they have going on. You can also get the Go phone for free and many other cool deals that are only on dealking.com.

Freaky Fridays

From now on Penny Auctions will be posting all of its new deals on Friday. All deals will be running for 7 days and still start at one penny. This is starting this friday when we'll be releasing some great new deals for you guys. If you're into games and stuff just check it out.

*Gourmet Gifts*

Flying Noodle, despite the funny name, has been a Gourmet Gifts provider since 1995 and has had many award winning gift baskets. The company is good enough to be featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, and was written about in the USA Today. If you're buying for that one person who is really a tough person to buy for or if you're just looking to make someones day, a gift basket from Flying Noodle might just be what the doctor ordered. Gift Baskets are always nice to get, but a gourmet gift basket from Flying Noodle goes the extra distance without breaking the bank for you.

Deals for buyers.

Anyone purchasing something from Penny Auctions will receive a code for a 10% discount on their next purchase. These discounts are a way to show just how much we enjoy having you as customers. Afterall, without you all there is is just a bunch of crap. These coupons will be good for about 2 months until they expire next. Just another way to thank you for buying off of us.

*Rock Start Up*

Today I'm going to talk to you guys about a web documentary I saw recently about life at Pay Per Post. The PPP crew have interesting jobs indeed. Being a unique company that is growing very rapidly at the moment, there are some crazy things that go on around the business. Although this web documentary doesn't take on a crazy style like the Osbournes did when it was on TV, it sure is pretty interesting to watch.

I forgot to mention the shows name, it's called Rock Start Up which is obvious due to the title name of this post. The web documentary follows the working experience around PayPerPost. In case you're not sure what that is, well it's what pays for Penny auctions to stay alive. Users can take their blogs and attempt to make posts for money on there. The idea is very unique and the company has been rapidly growing as a result. It's sort of like a brand new concept. This company has really been growing fast so I can only imagine how much stress these guys are through. Oh well, I say watch is and enjoy, it's pretty interesting stuff. I think you'll like it just like I did.

Some games to be posted soon.

We've come across some great games that just had to be put on Penny-Auctions. We have Need For Speed: Carbon and Fight Night Round 3 for the Xbox 360. For the PS2 we have Tomb Raider Legend and the Godfather. These games should be posted tomorrow morning with Free Shipping. So check it out.

*Chatting*

One of the best ways to meet people is to check out a chat room. By getting into a chat with someone you can network, which is really important for a business. I hate when small businesses underestimate the power of a good chat with some potential customers. Try it out, it's a free way to promote and it really works well. I've managed to grab a few customers that way.

Hot Tickets for sale.

Hot Tickets are for sale on multiple items. The next item to be sold through our Penny Deals is Gears of War. The best way to buy a ticket is straight through our site. To find out how tickets work or how much they are check out our Hot Tickets page. Good Luck

*Stock Trading*

If you've ever wanted to get into the Stock Market than you should check out an easy to use tool called stockwrap. Stock Wrap is a free Stock tool that can be easily downloaded right here. Even if you're not really sure of how the Stock Market works, stockwrap can help you out there too. In case you're looking for even more information on stockwrap and how it works, check out wiki.stockwrap.com for more information. I've checked out this tool myself and I would say it's worth a look if you're interested in stocks. It can be a very useful tool and it's free so there's nothing to lose.

Hitman Contracts is now for sale on eBay from Penny Auctions. The popular hitman series came out with this 3rd installment a while back in 2004. This game is used and for the PC. It's not too hard on your system, you can bid on this right here
