The first thing you need to ask yourself is how much Tcredits are you prepared to invest. If you would use auto-bidder then don't join auction with below 300 Tcredits on your account! 95% of the time you will see your Tcredits vanish.
So it all starts with your budget. The amount you can invest in Tcredits.
You could only try to win 1stWIN auctions or Junior auctions with 200-300 Tcredits.
But it all depends on timing, when is auction held and general timing in the auction.

I believe that live bidding is the way to go, unless of course you just want to earn double MRP's in an auction and are not worried about winning! Or you have a few hundred T-credits and want to dominate a particular auction, presumably because you want the item very badly and are pressed for time!
In my experience tracking auctions and observing who is bidding as well as when and how will give you the best chance of winning any auction.
If your goal is to win efficiently , then always

Winning the Pricebender auctions really need a bit of expertise and right timing to really WIN the item at the price that you can really smile.

What is essential in this auction bidding is how many T-credits do you have.

If you have more than enough T-credits to risk, auto-bidder will be effective to use with the proper timing and well thought of plan of action.

But if you have limited T-credits, I think you have better chances of winning in non-auto bid as all bidders

Which is better for winning Pricebenders auctions: using the auto-bidder or not using auto-bidder?

My answer is.

Auto Bidder is a good tool to win the auction. But it should be used in the right way.

Auto Bidder is required to include at the right time, in order not to lose a lot of TCredits.

Not at the beginning of the auction, when the weather is great.
Already at the end. In the final time.

If there is not a lot of players, with

Good question.

If you can afford a lot of T-Credits, go ahead and use the auto-bidder. Just be careful when setting your prices. I would recommend keeping your eye on it though in case someone else jumps in and starts using auto-bidder too. You will spend quite a few T-Credits if you don't pay attention to it.

My personal auction option is- No Auto Bidder. I can watch how others are bidding, and see my competition before I ever spend a T-Credit. By timing my bids, I save T-Credits

There are several ways of better usage with this Auto Bidder tools. But first, it all depends on ones budget and game techniques.

In every game, it is a need to understand and master each game. Some low budget TC owner prefer to use manual bid as this helps them saves their TC and let them read the game and the environment. Unless you own a large quantity of TC, and they use the Auto Bidder all the way which are sure to win in the end.

Most of us normally play the tactical way,

Hi,

I have tried Auctions without Auto-bidder`s tool and was overly irritated by some auto-bidders coming in to make the Auctions tiring and not fun to do.

Auctions that are strictly tagged NAB "No Auto-Bidder" are more relaxing because you know you are competing with real people clicking the ~BID~ button and not Robots 'so to speak`

I am not discouraging the use of Auto-bidders if you have lots of TripleClicks credit to play around with, its easier to win

I personally have not used an Auto-bidder to participate in auctions and have won.

For auctions, you need to consider the product you're interested in and how much you're willing to bid on the product. This would be the same when using an auto bidder.

For both methods - auto bidder or manual, you need to create a strategy that works for you with each method. Method alone, does not guarantee you a win.

I typically review items that I am interested in then consider

For winning Pricebenders auctions with using the auto-bidder.
You should know some important key points

1. Use the auto-bidder when there are less bidders and no one using it.

2. Use the auto-bidder when you have more number of Tcredits.
