What is Nethunter?

Nethunter presents a new and exciting way for you to shop online

We feature Live Auctions every day, offering you top brand, designer products at fantastic savings over high street retailers. Our auctions provide a fun alternative to traditional auctions. No longer do you have to set yourself a target price to buy the product. Our auctions traditionally end with an ending purchase price which is far, far lower than any other auction.

Every day we feature products such as LCD Televisions, Designer Hand Bags, Top of the line Mobile Phones and more. No Matter what your looking for; chances are there is an auction running where you can 'Bid and Save'

Take a look at some of the auctions we are running now. If any of them take your fancy, why not get some Bid Tokens and join in the fun?

Unlike traditional auctions, there is no risk of an automated program 'sniping' you at the last second. When a bid comes in during the final 30 seconds, the counter is reset back up to 30 seconds - This is to give someone else the chance to bid if they're interested. If no-one else bids and the counter reaches zero, congratulations: you've won yourself a bargain!

Even if you don't win the auction, you never have to leave Nethunter empty handed. Any time after you've placed your first bid in an auction, you can choose to buy the product for a discount, getting back the cost of the bids you placed in that auction. You'll never have to pay more than the Worth Up To price for any products. The auction will continue as usual, so other bidders can battle it out.

How Can I Play?

In order to be able to get in on the fun you need to register an account with Nethunter

Simply follow the easy step-by-step process to set up your account, purchase some Bid Tokens, and that is it. You are all set up ready to bid your way to a bargain!

How Do I Change My Details?

Once you are logged in, you will see a new tab has appeared called 'My Account'. If you click on this tab it takes you to your account summary page showing you a whole host of information including which auctions you are bidding on, your bid token balance, any Bid Buddy you may have configured, and any outstanding items

You are also able to edit aspects of your account from this page. Simply click the 'Edit My Profile' link, and you will be able to update your address, position on the map, email address, and passwords.

How Much Does A Bid Cost?

In order to participate in the Live Auctions, you will need to purchase some 'Bid Tokens'.

Each bid token costs 60 cents and entitles you to place a single bid on a single auction.

Bid Tokens may be used anywhere within the Nethunter group, so they can be offset against the purchase price of an item in Shop Direct, used to pay for listings in Classifieds or for placing bids in the Live Auctions

Bid Tokens Are Available in 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, and 500 packs with bonus tokens awarded for larger purchases

Can Everyone Be A Winner?

While every auction has to have a winner, this does not mean you have to lose out -- you never have to leave Nethunter empty handed.

Any time after you've placed your first bid in an auction, you can choose to buy the product for a discount, getting back the cost of the bids you placed in that auction. You'll never have to pay more than the Worth Up To price for any products.

The auction will continue as usual, so other bidders can battle it out.

Participating in the auctions is easy. You can take part in one of two ways:

To play manually, simply go to the auction page that interests you. When you are ready to play, click on the 'Place Your Bid'

button. Your bid will be placed and your name will go to the top of the winner list

To play using 'Bid Buddy', go to the auction page that interests you and configure your 'Bid Buddy' to place the bids for you. For more information click on the relevant section in the help menu

How Does Bid Buddy Work?

'Bid Buddy' is your own personal automated bidding system. It bids for you when you haven't got the time to follow a live auction. Simply choose the maximum number of bids that you want Bid Buddy to use and when you would like Bid Buddy to place the bids.

Bid at any time - This will keep your name at the top of the winners list until all Bid Buddy has reached your maximum bid allowance
Bid during the last 30 seconds only - This will only bid during the last 30 seconds of the auction, giving you greater control over your bid usage

Once these parameters are set, Bid Buddy will then bid automatically for you.

How does Bid Buddy know when to bid?

If there is just one Bid Buddy booked to bid in an auction, the bids will be placed automatically within the timescale you specified.

If two or more users have setup a Bid Buddy for an auction, each Bid Buddy will take its turn in rotation, this ensures that your bid tokens are not used up in one fell swoop and that your bids are placed to ensure maximum probability of winning.

Hint:

You can increase or cancel your Bid Buddy at any time.
There is no maximum of bids on the Bid Buddy, as long as you have bid tokens in your account.
Bid Buddy will not allow you to exceed the number of bid tokens in your account. This allows you to safely bid on other auctions without worrying about ending with a negative bid token balance.
In the event your account balance is less than the amount your Bid Buddy is setup to utilise, your Bid Buddy will cease bidding on your behalf when your account reaches zero.
We recommend using Bid Buddy to bid during the last 30 seconds of the auction. This gives you the most control over how your bids are placed. And gives you a higher probability of winning the auction.

Why did the auction end before all my Bid Buddy bids were placed?

Bid Buddy will not place bids against itself. If you are the highest bidder when the auction ends, all unused Bid Tokens are automatically returned to your account.

Advice On Bidding

There are many different approaches people can take to try and increase their likelihood of winning. There is no 'sure-fire' winning strategy, but here are a few tips to help you get started, as well as a few of the traps that novice bidders sometimes fall into.

Place your bid in the last 30 seconds of the auction.
It is not advisable to wait until the last second before placing your bid. If you run into a problem you will likely not have time to resolve it before the auction ends. And, as the timer is reset when a bid comes in, there is no benefit to you to do this.
Use your bids wisely, determine which auction you want to be part of and stay focused upon that one. Bear in mind that certain auctions are likely to attract far more interest than others.
Use Bid Buddy to your advantage. This is a very powerful tool which if used correctly can ensure your place at the top. You can still bid manually when Bid Buddy is set up, and it will not bid against you. This way, you can ensure that no matter what problems you may experience Bid Buddy is backing you up so your bid goes in.
Turn someone's Bid Buddy against them - some people will use a Bid Buddy because they cannot be at their computer to watch the auctions. It is easy to fly in and win with a quick single bid if your rival has gone through all their allocated bids
Watch how everyone else is bidding - you can see the details of the last twenty bids placed, which can help you work out people's bidding styles and allow you to come up with a strategy to beat them.
Use the Shout box, where you can talk to different bidders and Nethunter Support, you can ask questions and gauge how serious your competition is. It is also useful for seeing whom may be using a Bid Buddy.
Check out the latest winners - this will let you know the likely interest in the auction you are in and perhaps provide a rough guide to what some past auctions have gone for.
Watch the auction end time - if it ends at 5pm you will know that quite a few people will be driving home from work at this point. Similarly if it ends at 7pm people might be having their dinner, in which case there will be fewer bidders online, making it easier for you to snag a bargain

In the end it comes down to timing and perseverance. Find the item you want to win, get your tokens ready and stick with it.

There is no limit on the total amount of auctions you can win, but no single user is permitted to win more than eight auctions per month. It is totally down to you how many you decide to participate in.

When Does An Auction End?

Each auction has a countdown timer, when this timer reaches zero, whoever is the top bidder at that time is the winner. However, to give everyone a fair chance of winning, the timer is reset to the auction seconds increment each time a bid comes in within the specified reset time of an auction. This is to give everyone a chance to bid if they wish to.

If multiple bids are received within the specified reset time of an auction, the timer is reset to 3 minutes to give everyone the opportunity to top up on bids etc. The actual end of the auction is determined by the bidders. If no bids are received in the specified reset time then when the timer runs out the auction is over.

What's The Difference Between The Auction End Price And Our Retail Price?

Auction end price

This is the end price of the auction. This is the price you pay for the item.

Our Retail Price

This is meant as a market indicator of the high street value of the item. It has no relevance to what you pay as the winning bidder.

Why Hasn't My Bid Been Registered On An Auction?

On rare occurrences, users tell us that even though they bid before the countdown ended, their bids did not get placed and the auction ends. In these instances, the most likely explanation is so-called "Internet lag times". These are time-delays in the transfer of data between your PC and our servers. Mostly those delays (lags) occur because single parts of the internet connection are overloaded, or due to unreliable internet connections

This, unfortunately, is a general problem with your internet connection.

There are a few ways of helping minimize this problem:

While bidding on Nethunter do not download large data such as video or audio files from the internet.
Don't send emails with large attachments while bidding on Nethunter.
Make sure that no other users such as family members, etc. are using the internet while you are bidding.
Do not wait for the last second to place your bid.
Use your Bid Buddy to ensure that the bids are placed

What Happens To The Auctions During System Downtime?

Downtime, or outage, is an occasional and unforeseeable problem with the internet, and means that bids cannot be placed during this short period when we are offline. If we experience downtime at any point, we automatically add ten minutes on to the auction end time, so that our bidders are not left at a disadvantage. It is impossible to place any bids whilst the system is experiencing downtime, so any bids attempted during this period will not be debited from your account. If this situation does occur, we advise you to refresh your screen regularly, either by pressing F5 or the refresh button on your browser.

I'm Using An Old Browser, Why Can't I Bid?

Nethunter is a technically advanced website that makes use of the latest methods to provide live, bid by bid information to your browser.

To make sure our members get the very most out of their experience on Nethunter we took the decision to block older browser which are incompatible with modern design techniques. There are actually very few blocked browsers of which Internet Explorer 6 is by far the most commonly used.

There's a whole host of reasons to upgrade your browser beyond using Nethunter. The latest browser versions allow you to view modern websites as they were meant to be seen, they are quicker, more secure and are regularly updated with new features.

You don't even have to pay to upgrade We suggest upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer or searching online for any of the following FREE browsers for more information about what they offer: Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari.

Each offer slightly different features which may or may not suit you but they are all capable of running the most modern websites such as Nethunter.

The Timer Jumps. Why?

In order to ensure the accuracy of the countdown timer, Nethunter constantly checks the time on your PC with the time on the server. If you have any internet lag this is noted and the clock is adjusted accordingly. This is why you may see the clock 'lag' for a second or jump 2 seconds. Due to this, Nethunter advises that you do not wait for the closing seconds of the auction before placing your bids.

I Cannot See The Auctions, I only Get A Loading Auctions Page. Why?

Nethunter uses Javascript in order to display the auctions and to ensure the timer is accurate. Unfortunately, Javascript requires a good internet connection. If you have a slow connection speed then you will not see the auctions, only the loading page. You have a couple of options that may help you see the auctions

Make sure you have no downloads going in the background
Make sure you do not have any high bandwidth sites open such as Youtube
Test your internet connection with http://www.speedtest.net.
Nethunter recommends at least a 1Mbps broadband connection speed

I Tried To Bid At The Last Second But My Bid Was Not Registered. Why?

On rare occurrences, users tell us that even though they bid before the countdown ended, their bids did not get placed and the auction ends. In these instances, the most likely explanation is so-called "Internet lag times". These are time-delays in the transfer of data between your PC and our servers. Mostly those delays (lags) occur because single parts of the internet connection are overloaded, or due to unreliable internet connections

This, unfortunately, is a general problem with your internet connection.

There are a few ways of helping minimize this problem:

While bidding on Nethunter do not download large data such as video or audio files from the internet.
Don't send emails with large attachments while bidding on Nethunter.
Make sure that no other users such as family members, etc. are using the internet while you are bidding.
Do not wait for the last second to place your bid. As the timer gets reset to 30 seconds once a bid is received, there is no need to wait for the closing second before bidding
Use your Bid Buddy to ensure that the bids are placed

If you receive any form of correspondence requesting such information, please report it at once to Nethunter Support.

DO NOT give out privileged private information over the phone or via email. Nethunter accepts no responsibility for account abuse.

Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts for the sale of Goods by Nethunter to the Buyer and shall prevail over any other documentation or communication from the Buyer. Acceptance of delivery of the Goods shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the Buyers acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Any variation to these Terms and Conditions (including any special terms and conditions agreed between the parties) shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by Nethunter. Any complaints should be addressed to Nethunter at the address in the Contact Us section of the website.

New Account Signup

No employee of Boot Technologies Ltd, Nethunter, nor any of our suppliers will be permitted to open an account with Nethunter or participate in either Live Auctions or Shop Direct. No person under the age of 18 is allowed to open an account with Nethunter and/or participate in either Live Auctions or Shop Direct. Anyone found to have fraudulently opened an account shall forfeit all rights, benefits, purchases, bids or auctions won using the fraudulent account. Under no circumstances will refunds of bid tokens be made for accounts closed due to fraud.

By opening an account with Nethunter you agree to abide by all rules and regulations of the site, that you are aware that by placing a bid or making a purchase on Nethunter website you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase the item, either at the ending price of the auction should you be the winning bidder, or at the fixed price of the item if purchasing via the Shop Direct section of the website.

All bids submitted for Goods in the Live Auctions section of the site, or purchases made in the Shop Direct section of the site, shall be deemed to be a legally binding offer by you to purchase Goods pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and are subject to acceptance by Nethunter.

We reserve the right not to accept an order for any reason, and reserve the right to reject a new account signup in the event that an offensive username has been selected or if in the opinion of Boot Technologies Ltd or Nethunter the username chosen is misleading or improper.

You are only permitted to open or maintain one account with Nethunter per person. Attempts to open multiple accounts will result in the closure of all accounts. In the event that Nethunter or Boot Technologies Ltd see fit to close an account, that individual will be barred from signing up or using the service in the future.

Live Auctions / Shop Direct

Within Nethunter website there are two distinct methods of purchasing products, either at a fixed price via the Shop Direct section, or on a bidding basis within the Live Auctions. Shop Direct items are available to all registered site visitors at all times and can be purchased immediately. Live Auction items are available to all registered site visitors, however; due to the nature of auctions, the price shown is the current price level and not the final price the item will be sold at. The final price is only known upon the completion of the auction and only the winning bidder is able to purchase the item at that price.

Live Auctions - Bidding

In order to participate in the Live Auctions, an account holder must have bid token credits in their account balance with which to place a bid. Bid tokens can be purchased from the site at any time, and are instantly credited to your account balance upon completion of payment.

Bid tokens which are purchased, or which are awarded as bonus bids for bulk purchases of Bid Tokens, carry no expiration or use-by date, are not valid for use outside of the Live Auctions section, and are non-transferable. Bid Tokens which are received as a free signup bonus will expire and be removed from your balance after 30 days if they are not used.

To place a bid on an item, and make yourself top of the queue and current winning bidder, navigate to the item and click the green 'Bid Now' button. Your account will be debited the amount of bid tokens the auction requires, most items require a single bid token per bid placed, but for example the Honda Insight automobile auction requires three bid tokens per bid placed. You will become the new winning bidder and your account name will appear atop the list.

Live Auctions run for a period of time, and end when the countdown reaches 0 seconds. Once the clock reaches zero, whomever is the last person to bid is the winner, at whatever price the auction ends at, irrespective of that price level. If in the specified reset time of an auction a new bid is received, the countdown timer is reset to back to the specified reset time. If in the last minute of an auction, multiple bids are received simultaneously, the countdown timer is reset to 3 minutes of time remaining due to the late flurry of activity and interest in the auction.

It is possible to enter into a automated bidding arrangement via the Bid buddy whereby you instruct the system to enter a fixed number of bids on your behalf, either commencing immediately or to start when a certain amount of time remains in the auction. Any automated bids made on your behalf by the Bid buddy are considered to be identical to any normal bid made yourself and entail the same acceptance and formation of a legal contract to purchase.

Shop Direct - Price & Payment

What Are The Fees For A Listing?

It is important to us at Nethunter that you find the classified site easy to use and informative. That is why we have developed it in such a way that it is easy to place or search for a listing.

To make things even easier we have only two pricing structures.

For all standard items there is no listing fee at all. You only pay a completion fee of just 7.5% of the end price of the item when the auction has ended. This way you only have to pay when your item has been sold. Also the fee is capped to a maximum of 50 Euros per listing.
For larger, more expensive items such as automobiles, properties, boats and other high value items there is an upfront flat listing fee based on the value

€10 per week for values up to €10,000.00
€15 per week for values from €10,000.00-€30,000.00
€20 per week for values over €30,000.00

Please be aware that any product deemed to be offensive or illegal will not be approved for publishing on the site.

I Won An Auction But Don't Want It

A bid or commitment to buy on Nethunter is considered a contract and you're obligated to purchase the item.

However, if you feel that you have a legitimate reason for not buying the item, you can contact the seller and explain your situation. Many sellers are willing to work with you if you communicate with them openly and honestly. If you haven't done so already, request the seller's contact information and call him or her. You may be able to work things out to everyone's satisfaction.

If the seller doesn't respond in the way you hope, keep in mind that failing to purchase an item you've won can result in an unpaid item being recorded on your account. If you get too many unpaid items recorded on your account in too short a time period, your account may be restricted or suspended.

I Have Not Been Paid For My Finished Listing

If your buyer doesn't pay you, here's what you need to do:

Contact your buyer. Like everyone, buyers can have emergencies or computer problems. The buyer may not be able to respond to you right away. If the buyer doesn't respond to your email, you may want to request their contact information and give them a call.
Send a payment reminder. Send your winning buyer a friendly payment reminder between 3 and 30 days after the listing closes.

My Listing Was Removed. Why?

If we removed your listing, it's probably because it either violated the law or one of our policies or because the item's rights owner (for example, Guess or Louis Vuitton) asked us to remove it. This can happen even if your item is genuine.

To find out why we removed your listing, be sure to read the email we sent you. If you don't see an email from us, check your spam folders.

My Account Has Been Suspended. Why?

There are several reasons why an account may be suspended:

Serious violations of Nethunter's Rules and Policies
Non-payment of fees (often resolved by updating your credit card or debit card information)
Aggressive or abusive behavior to other members or staff

If your account is suspended, we'll send a notification to your email account. The notification includes the reason for your account suspension and the steps you can take to resolve the suspension.

Can I Cancel My Bid?

As a general rule, you can't retract or cancel a bid. When you place a bid, you agree to pay for the item if you're the winning bidder.

However, honest mistakes sometimes occur. You can cancel a bid if you have a valid reason for doing so as defined below and only if the auction has more than 12 hours to go.

Valid reasons for retracting a bid include:

You accidentally entered the wrong bid amount due to a typographical error.
The item's description changed significantly after you entered your last bid.

Changing your mind is not a valid reason for retracting a bid. Before bidding, be sure to carefully review the listing.

How Long Does A Listing Last?

You can choose how long you wish your listing to be available for:

7 Days.
14 Days.
21 Days.

After this period if your item is not sold you will need to re-list it.

I Have Won, How Do I Contact The Seller?

Once you have won an auction your details are passed on the the seller of the item. They will contact you to arrange payment and delivery.

If they have not contacted you within 7 working days of the auction ending please contact Nethunter Support.

How Long Should I Wait Before Contacting The Seller?

Sellers should contact their buyers within seven business days after the listing ends.

Remember many Nethunter sellers keep regular business hours and some don't respond to emails during the evening, on weekends, or on holidays.

If you don't hear from the seller within an acceptable time period, you should request the member's contact information from Nethunter Support and call them.

Note: Buyers can only obtain a seller's contact information if they buy one of the seller’s items. Sellers can only obtain the contact information of a bidder or buyer of one of their listings.

Nethunter requires that all members have updated contact information on file with us at all times. If you request the seller's contact information, and find that it is incorrect, please let us know.

Buy Now Information

How to Buy Now During a Live Auction:

While an auction is live, you have the option to stop bidding and utilise your spent bids to purchase the item at a discounted buy now price.

This will not cause the auction to end, it simply allows you to stop bidding and apply the value of your spent bid tokens towards a purchase of the item.

The number of bidders who can choose to buy now is limited and will fluctuate -- some auctions may allow three or four bidders to utilise this option, some only one or two.   Once the allowable number of bidders choose this option, this option will end, so if only one buy it now is allowed and a bidder chooses to purchase this way, no other bidders will be able to purchase at a discounted price.

Beneath the bid button and Bid Buddy area of the auction details page, you will see our buy now price, the total amount of bids you have spent on the auction represented as a discount against the buy now price, and your discounted price to purchase at. If for example you have placed 50 bids towards an item which is a €100.00 buy now price, you will see a €30.00 deduction applied, and a resulting €70.00 buy now price.

You have the ability to purchase the item at this discounted price at any time during the auction, once the auction ends, the discounted buy now ability ends.

The amount of reduction you can get on the item is up to the In store price only. Any bids placed after this amount has been reached are not counted towards further reductions in the price.

How do I place a bid?

Participating in the auctions is easy. Simply find the auction you want to bid on, go to the auction page and place your bids.

If you win the buyer will contact you to arrange payment and delivery

Where can I see which auctions I am bidding on?

Once you are logged in, you will see a new tab has appeared called 'My Account'. If you click on this tab it takes you to your account summary page showing you a whole host of information including which auctions you are bidding on and any outstanding items

Because of this, we ask our members to refrain from using foul or abusive language, from using racial epithets, from posting offensive comments, and to at all times be respectful to fellow Nethunter members and Nethunter staff.

Please note:

Any member breaching the above guidelines will receive a warning about their conduct on the first instance.
Any member breaching the above guidelines a second time will receive a final warning regarding their behaviour.
Any member breaching the above guidelines for a third time will have their Shout Box access suspended for one month.
Any member breaching the above guidelines for a fourth time after coming back from suspension will have their Shout Box privileges revoked permanently and not be permitted to chat or interact with fellow members or Nethunter staff.

CAPTCHA

A CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer. You've probably seen them — colorful images with distorted text at the bottom of Web registration forms. CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from "bots," or automated programs usually written to generate spam. No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.

About 200 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. In each case, roughly ten seconds of human time are being spent. Individually, that's not a lot of time, but in aggregate these little puzzles consume more than 150,000 hours of work each day. What if we could make positive use of this human effort? reCAPTCHA does exactly that by channeling the effort spent solving CAPTCHAs online into "reading" books.

To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are currently digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages are being photographically scanned, and then transformed into text using "Optical Character Recognition" (OCR). The transformation into text is useful because scanning a book produces images, which are difficult to store on small devices, expensive to download, and cannot be searched. The problem is that OCR is not perfect.

reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read correctly.

But if a computer can't read such a CAPTCHA, how does the system know the correct answer to the puzzle? Here's how: Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is given to a user in conjunction with another word for which the answer is already known. The user is then asked to read both words. If they solve the one for which the answer is known, the system assumes their answer is correct for the new one. The system then gives the new image to a number of other people to determine, with higher confidence, whether the original answer was correct.

How Do I Participate In A PickPocket Auction?

To take part in a PickPocket Auction, you need to preregister your interest and purchase a PickPocket Bid Wallet.

The sign up period will end a few minutes before a PickPocket Auction is scheduled to start, so do not leave it until the last moment or you will miss out.

Once you have signed up for a PickPocket Auction and purchased a PickPocket Bid Wallet, you are guaranteed the ability to participate in that PickPocket Auction and to have a chance at winning the item.

Once the sign up time has passed and the pre-auction phase commences, the system will calculate the bid increment for that PickPocket Auction.

Once a PickPocket Auction starts, you will see your personal bid countdown timer start ticking. In order to remain an active participant in a PickPocket Auction, you must bid before your timer reaches zero and continue bidding each time your timer resets and recommences its countdown.

A PickPocket Auction will continue to be active until a predetermined amount of the total pool of bids have been placed, at which point the auction will end and the last person to bid shall be the winner.

What Happens If I Win ?

If you are the participant whose bid meets the predetermined level, congratulations you are the winner.

Winning a PickPocket Auction means that you have the right to purchase the item being auctioned at the price the PickPocket Auction ends at.

PickPocket Auction Personal Countdown Timer

Each participant has their own fixed amount of bids and their own independent countdown timer.

When a PickPocket Auction commences, the starting price will be €0.00 and everyone's timer will start to countdown towards zero.

As long as you continue to place a bid each time before your personal countdown timer reaches zero, your timer will reset and start counting down again.

To remain active in a PickPocket Auction, a participant must continue to place bids in order to prevent their countdown clock from reaching zero.

If your countdown clock reaches zero, all remaining bids will be spent automatically and added to the item total. If this automatic spend of remaining bids should trigger the threshold, then the auction will end and you will win.

PickPocket Auction Basics

There will be a preset number of participants allowed.
Participation will cost a fixed amount, which gives you the right to join in the PickPocket Auction and a fixed number of PickPocket Auction Bids.
PickPocket bids are only valid during the life of the particular PickPocket Auction and expire upon its end.
PickPocket bids are not transferrable or convertible, are not redeemable against Nethunter Store purchases, and cannot be banked for future use.
All of the PickPocket Auctions will start with a €0.00 price.
The price of a PickPocket Auction item will increase by a fixed amount each time a bid is placed.
Each participant receives an identical fixed amount of bids at the start of the Pick Pocket Auction.
PickPocket Auctions will continue until a certain percentage of the overall bid pool is used, at which point the auction ends.
PickPocket Auctions require people to actively participate to stay in the game, each bidder will have their own personal bidding countdown clock.
If a member's personal countdown clock reaches zero, all remaining bids will be automatically spent and added to the total.
If a PickPocket Auction exceeds 30 minutes in length, it will go into Sudden Death and the timers will shorten.
The winner of a PickPocket Auction will have the exclusive right to purchase the item at the ending price.

How Does a PickPocket Auction Work?

A PickPocket Auction works differently than any other auction you may have participated in.

A PickPocket Auction entails a fixed number of participants, each starting with the same number of PickPocket Auction bids. Once the limit of participants is reached, the auction will close to new sign ups, so don't wait until the last moment to decide to join in the fun!

Once you are out of bids, you are no longer able to participate in that PickPocket Auction, you cannot purchase more PickPocket bids or register for another position, so be sure to spend your bids wisely and choose your spots to bid carefully.

The whole idea of a PickPocket Auction is to get everyone involved -- if a participant does not place a bid within a fixed time window, all of their bids will be spent at once automatically. This means people cannot horde their bids and means that only active participants will continue to be in the game. But - if this automatic involuntary placement of bids causes the threshold to be met and therefore triggers the end of the PickPocket Auction, that person wins, so with PickPocket Auction you can snooze and NOT lose!

Once the predetermined threshold is met, the auction will automatically end, so while there is benefit in choosing your spots to place your bids, you cannot be too careful as you will miss the end.

We believe that PickPocket Auctions will reinvent the concept of an online auction, introduce even more fun into the experience, and allow people to try to win an item at a low price with a lower fixed budget for their bids than our Live Auctions.

Nethunter - Behind the Curtain

Nethunter Auctions - A Peek Behind The Curtain

Nethunter Auctions launched late in 2009 and has made a big splash in Cyprus and Greece.

At Nethunter we pride ourselves in being innovative. We have continued to grow and expand the concept to include new ideas and new methods to play.

Your satisfaction is our top goal and everything we do is designed to improve your experience.

Nethunter Support is available both online or via telephone six days a week with native English and Greek speaking staff
Auction times spaced throughout the week and weekend to allow everyone to participate
New products being added regularly in response to customer requests
Doorstep delivery and out-of-hours delivery to facilitate you receiving your purchase

Many people have emailed, phoned, and commented in the Shout Box about pricing and our supposed profits, so allow us to dispell some misconceptions:

Our employees bid on auctions to keep them going.

As per our terms and conditions, no employee, family member or supplier are allowed to participate.

Users are not real and are in fact automatic bids placed by the system to keep auctions running

We do not utilise automated methods or in any way effect the outcome of an auction.

Winners are not real and no actual products are being delivered

Our Shout Box is unique and allows our users to chat and interact amongst themselves at all times, and some of our users know each other "in the real world".

We have completed almost one hundred auctions to date, all of which were fulfilled, and many of our winners brag about their victories.

We make large amounts of profit on every live auction that we feature

While we are a business and strive to achieve profitability, as any company does, the guarantee of profit from a live auction does not exist. Experience shows that while some items do attract a large number of bids and end at higher price levels, many have not lasted very long and ended at very low price levels. While we would like to make a profit every time an item is auctioned, is it not always possible.

We have used commonly available free software to develop and maintain the Nethunter.net family of sites

All of the graphics, code, and design work are property of Boot Technology Ltd, and no portion of our websites contain any third-party auction addins, code or tools.
