Hello,

Pick The Price popularly called PTP is a contest in which the participants are required to correctly predict the final price of an auction or the closest to the final price if no exact picks are entered. Whenever an auction's final price is represented by more than one entry, the first entry received is deemed the winner.

Each win gives you a share of the daily Zackpot and a ''Hammer on the head'' gives you five shares of the daily Zackpot. For those who don't know, a ''Hammer on the head'' is the term used whenever a participant predicts the exact final price of an auction. One TCredits is deducted each time you enter for the contest and there are no win limits.


I have won the PTP almost a 100 times and i have won ''Hammer on the head'' numerous times too, though i have stopped playing for a while now. The strategy i use is simple. From studying the auctions i have come to know that most auctions are won below the $10 mark. With that at the back of my mind, i randomly pick any number from $0.05 to $5 for the cheap items like gift cards, Movies, TCredit Packs, S builder, CSAs etc and i pick between $10 to $38 for the expensive items like IPad and Electronics.


I rarely base my pick on previous won prices or history except when i find it difficult to make a guess. There are some particular days of the week when the auctions ''hots up'' and you see very high final prices. A look at the latest winners will assist you to know the trend of how prices have gone or would go.

Luck plays a very important role in the PTP and the amount of TCredits that you are willing to lose also matters. There are some times that you will go days or even weeks playing without a win, in the process losing hundreds of TCredits and there are days when you just have the right touch. But be comforted that even if you don't win, you get MRP, MRPs you can use to buy more TCredits.

Playing the PTP is one very good way to increase your loads of TCredits and also helps you know who the ''big dogs'' are and who to avoid especially when you want to play the auction yourself.

I advice that before you play the PTP, you purchase at least 100 TCredits pack with which you can start to build up on. I assure you, within a month and luck on your side, you should be able to accumulate close to 1,000 TCredit or more.

I hope that was helpful.
