Discount shopping alert. Here’s something different that I discovered while looking for discount shopping sites. Trader Auction Games has a shoppers raffle where you can win prizes of up to $75 cash each month just for shopping with one or more of the shops who sponsor their site. Because it’s new not many members are requesting their raffle tickets, so, for the people who do, an entry into the raffle gives them the best chance of winning cash or other prizes of any site I have ever visited.
On delving deeper into the site I learnt all about their free auction. I’m deadly serious, it really is free. How they work it is very ingenious. They have designed their free auction so that members of the Trader Auction Games site can sell their unwanted items for points to other members, as members accumulate more points, they then trade up by bidding those points for bigger and better auction items. They can even bid their TAG points for several cash auctions. Yes, they bid points to win an auction of real cash money up to $200 in value. These guys aren’t kidding when they say they have a free Internet auction.
The items listed in the auction at the time I looked included jewellery, beach towels, money, books, Avon and Mary Kay beauty products, baseball collectors cards, toys and other goods of real value. It appears to me that Trader Auction Games is trying to be a one-stop shop and doing a very good job of it.
As well as the above, the TAG City has a random prize draw where winners are drawn every 2 hours. Prizes include cash and other sponsored items from participating shops. As is now customary, Trader Auction Games has stepped outside of the box in designing their random prize draw. The Trader Auction Games site guarantees that all members will be drawn to win prizes or money in the TAG City sweepstakes every 2days. Winners are drawn in blocks based on the first letter of their first name. So, all the people whose names start with the letter F may be drawn this time, then 2 hours later all the members whose first names start with L may be drawn and so on until every letter in the alphabet has been drawn. It takes forty-eight hours and then it begins over again. There is of course a catch and that is that you only have 2 hours to claim your prize once your name has been drawn. You can win up to $500 cash in the TAG City sweepstakes.
I enjoyed the TAG site so much that I rate it five stars when it comes to online shopping, games, competitions and free excitement.
