It depends on one's situation. If you have read and understood the rules of the game and have checked the tips, you have the general idea of what tool you would use,still for a specific auction.
Make an observation on some auction first before joining. If the timing is right, assuring that there'll be no disturbance for that whole time that you have to be alert and focused with the opponents' possible action plan, and you have no problems with your internet connection then you better not use it so as to save some tcredits. Also, consider the density of participants if the auction is of great value to bidders. they are most likely on guard as you are.
In business we must be risk takers, but just take the risk acceptable for you.

Using the Autobidder is fine if you have at least 500 TCredits to use, as it will use them very quickly.
I personally don't like using Autobidder for two reasons:
Firstly, because i know how annoyed (& how the game lacks fun) when others use it.
Secondly, because it bids as soon as someone has overbid you rather than wait & see if someone else bids, & therefore save your TCredits until it is NECESSARY to bid.
It really is a matter of preference. Myself, I prefer not to. Many others do like it. it is whatever works for you.

Nice question.
I think both are good but you must use auto-bidder very careful it just slams your T-Credits if your opponents use it!
I personally use it only when im sure that auction comes to end.
So i think you should be very careful with auto-bidder have eye on it all the time.
Mostly i prefer to place my bids manually and feel the whole process from start to win.
This is a good question .in my opinion you should leave auto-bidder for when you are more experience in auctions and have more finance.
auto bidder involves setting a timing for allowing bids on your behalf on at certain time intervals(need to have many TCredits for this) while normal bidding involves putting a bid while monitoring who is participating in auction like who is trying to dominate and who is entering the auction.( you are able to control your bids)
To me manual bidding you have more control over your Tcredits.
To me the best as a new comer to auctions is manual bidding!For reasons specified above.

I only enter the auctions for TCredits and always use Auto-Bidder.
Why? Because I'm only interested in gaining the Bonus VP and this is a great way to get the extra VP you might need to reach the next rank.
So if I'm short say 100 VP, I'll set Auto-Bidder to use 100 TCredits and then forget about it. Depending on how any are in the Auction, this can easily add the required VP to you monthly total.
If I win, great, more TCredits for next month, if I lose I don't care, I'm more interested in my Rank at the end of the month.
I'm not here to play games but to run a business.
So really it depends why you enter a particular Auction as to which way is the best.

My preference is not using thee auto bidder. The reason is very simple, when you use the auto bidder, and you are overwhelmed by the number of bidders, you waste a large number of Tcredits when maybe the value of the item is not worth fighting for. By going the manual way, you have the chance to gauge what kind of bidders you are dealing with and so you can plan strategy depending on the bidding trend and safe more credits while winning big.
Both auto-bidder and manual bidding are useful in terms of winning Pricebenders auctions. You just need to know when to use them and how! For instance, if you had enough TCredits, and given the history of the product being auctioned, you would do well in the 2nd half of the auction using auto-bidder than manual bidding! But avoid auto-bidding when you don’t have enough TCredits or at the beginning of the auction!
In my opinion there is no rule for winning Pricebenders auctions. You need to outsmart more experienced bidders and that can be hard sometimes. If you choose auto-bidder in wrong moment of auction it can easily 'eat' all Tcredits that you meant to use for current auction. When you want to win an auction you need to have enough Tcredits and enough patience to win it ;) Don't spend Tcredis as soon as auction starts...Wait until there is nearly and of it and then be persistent. When you get enough experience in winning auctions than you will know how and when to use the auto-bidder...I hope this was helpful;)

I personally do not like the auto-bidder. I think that it takes the personal touch out of the auction. You can not go to an auction and not be present to place your bids. Not only that if you are bidding against a person using the auto-bidder most of the time your bid is never posted as the higest bidder, the auto-bidder over-bids you as soon as your bid is placed. Some members have an infinite amount of T-Credits that they can use and this drives up the price to where most of the new and a lot of the older members can not afford to bid.
This is just my personal opinion.

It depends on the strategy. Using the auto-bidder involves implementing definite plan as to how much you think the winning bid will be and place your bid and the number of hits to suit. The thing is if someone else is more on target you must be prepared to accept the loss. the non bidder to me is more safe in that you bid as you see fit. the process that way can be longer though. Hence depending on your approach both could work for you.
