If there was a way to Pick the Price every time then you can bet collusion is at play! There is no way to know how an auction will end when you can't control whose playing, how much buying power they have, nor how long the auction last. The idea here is to reward those who play the game.

If you play Pick-the-Price, there are some general things to consider like:

1. Type of Auction

2. Time of Day

3. Budget

4. Competition

5.

HA - that question is like asking what is the best way to predict the weather (or the LOTTO numbers) these days? ;-)

You can check the history of the auction prices to see if there is maybe a certain trend, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the LUCK of the DRAW! Obviously you will stick within the set price norm - which can range from 0,27 cents to $ 35.49 to $55.00 - at any given time - but I think Lady Luck plays the deciding factor in any of these predictions.

Then again

I think the best way to predict the final price
in the "Pick The Price Game" would be best done
after a little research.

Check out what the item has gone for in past auctions.
The time of day or night and was it on Tuesday or Saturday.
All of these variables have impact on what the final price
will likely be.

Of course, all of the research can give you past history,
past prices, etc... but one variable that is hard

The best way to guess Pick the Price figure is to note the time the auction is to start, then click on the "history" link above the entry box.

This will take you to pages full of past auctions for that item. Look for past auctions that started on the same day of the week, as close as possible to the same time of day. Remember that the time shown in the auction list is the time the auction ENDED, so if the auction time is 14:30 CT and auction was 2 hours long, the start time

Hello Friend,

Predict The Price or PTP is nowadays getting more attractive and it’s truly beneficial for an affiliate who doesn’t want to participate in the rigorous and time consuming process of participating in PriceBender Auctions.

If you are willing to participate in PTP, you should do your homework thoroughly and systematically. In this regard, you should go through the past winning prices and the patterns of winning before you enter into the PTP contest of a particular

I tend to look at the previous prices of the same item but most importantly it has to be the price of the same item at roughly the same time as the auction. I get a relative average guess price from that.
Then I look at the type of auction: first time winners (1WA) and no autobid tend to end relatively earlier, so I just go lower than the guess price I have, otherwise I go slightly higher.
I am not saying this IS the way to do it, but this is how I worked mine out and I have won already

Watch lots of auctions and track what a particular items averages selling for at various times of day and in various auction types.

A item in a 1 WA auction will usually sell for less than an item in a DP or double Points auction. An item auctioned at 3AM SFI time will usually sell for less than the same auction held at 3PM SFI time.

It's a law of averages game. You need to know average prices for the type of auction, time of day, and type of item and then make your best educated

Dear Manuel,

Knowledge always increase the efficiency. Prediction is imaginary that what could be happened in future. No body knows about the future. So we predict something always on the basis of analsis the past. So to predict about PTP game, the best way would be as follows:

1) There are tips link on PTP game page, should go through it.
2) There are price history under each product. must check.
3) Keep in mind the time of auction of the product, check same time

Hi Manuel Gil

I feel the best way that has worked for me is to first decide what item you want to predict the final price for, then do some research. Once you pick the item, go back and look at the last 5-10 (I like to use 10) bidding win prices for that item. Next I add up the total amount of all 10 winning bids. The last thing is to take the average of that total.

Here is an example:
The item I am picking is the 300 T-Credit pack.
The last 10 winning bid prices

Actually, there is no best way to calculate the final price in the Pick the Price game.
But you can try this:

Before you enter the amount, try to check the price history of the item you want to predict. You can also consider the time of the auction. There are times that the winning price is too low and sometimes it is high. Compare the times when the winning bid is low or high and sometimes you can also consider who are the bidders.

You can also observe first the way some
