SO 4 of us go onto PRIZEWISE and start bidding on stupid stuff just cause the auction is about to go off. yeah we are all sick gamblers but it is fun. Anyway i just won the Egyptian Hand Paint on Papyrus. I dont even want it just fun to do and see us win.

I have to admit that I sold off my TFCT today, but not because I don't believe in the company, because I do. I just see a lot more plays right now. I will however be back, and hopefully not chasing it up. I went onto the prizwise sight yesterday for the first time and loved it. Its a win-win situation for buyers and sellers. I think once more people find out about this site, it will be more popular than ebay. It will take a while, but this is a good long term hold.

For those of you who are curious about the taxes for prizes won on prizewise, the following is the response that I received from their customer service rep:
"Thank you for the email. We apologize for the slow response. At the end of the year, a 1099 form will be sent to winners of sweepstakes. You will be responsible for paying taxes on the market value that was listed on the sweepstakes page, not the number of tickets it sold for. If you have any concerns, contact customerservice@prizewise.com or call 1-877-PRIZEWISE.
NW"

U must be in it to win it. I have won 2 out of my eleven prizes. This site is addicting once you actually start using it. Investors should really take note of how many raffle tickets are sold during the day. keep and inventory of how a prize started and ended. I have been very happy so far from what i see. Lots of raffles going off each day now...the Plasma Tv will be the biggest prize to go off sometime during next week, Good Luck i got 30 bucks in that raffle.

TV IS MINE!!! Has anybody tried to email Steve. I mean this guy is great. He responds so quickly to your suggestions and ideas for the site. I dont know many other CEO's that would be so quick to do this. Sure it is small company but still it is a great sign for investors when the head of company cares so much about your ideas. Ok now back to bidding on some more stuff...PRIZEWISE.COM>>>>God i Love this site.

ooo...just had a great idea. How about creating an auction on eBay for your item, and telling people not to bid here (on eBay) but to win it for $1 at prizewise.com. I've seen some people actually do that...request that no one place a bid.

Just to let you all know incase you havent been keeping up with the auctions..about 1k in prizes go off a day now. You say well that might not be good because they only get 17% of that but the fact of the matter is no advertising has really been done. THe commercials will make this a household name. Then there will be thousands of users on the site everday. That means more prizes close out and not these small ones. Soon cars,boats, and houses will go. Then this site will be one of the most popular sites ever. You got to love how this has started out and who knows how big it will become...if it becoms 10% of Ebay you are taking about a company that is worh of 6 billion. Arent you glad you got in on the PPS @ .xx

I've been keeping my eye on the winner's list to see if there are any frequent winners from 06/24 3pm to 06/28 10am. This is what I've come up with so far:
winners frequency $amount ci69fc 7x $1,835 fredbird89 4x $2,867 2 people 3x avg/$68 9 people 2x avg/$160
I found it interesting that "ci69fc" has won seven times. Not only that, but 5 of his prizes are $200 and higher. Knowing this I sent prizewise an email asking them to find out, or at least confirm, that those prizes won were won with a reasonable statistical probability. Meaning that the individual has not been winning with a mere 2 to five to tickets on all sweepstakes, because I find it very hard to believe that a person can be that lucky if he did win those raffles with a very, very small amount of tickets. Once I get their reply I will post it on this board. GLTA

Very true they could very easily win these things for themselves, family members etc.

Surprise..surprise...guess who won another prize...cci69fc (X-Box Console a@ 300 tickets)! Is he/she really that lucky? I suggest everybody email prizewise and find out what the hell is going on.

My guess is that these buyers are prob. sellers who found a loop whole their prob. buing more than half of their owen tickets and hey they don't win they still make money but if they win,.. I expect that X-BOX Game Consol back on PriseWise. just a little loop whole.

Looks like a lot of support at .10 but then again I thought we had it at .11 LOL. My average is .112 so I guess I am now an Investor. haha

I am one of those people that have won 3 prizes. I got the $50 gift card and 2 DVD's. Actually at first 3 of my fellow friends and i just got all the tickets for the DVD just to make sure the site was legit cause we only saw ci6 winning all of the prizes. then i won the $50 gift card with 2 tickets. It is legit, but i agree with the fact that people are trying to win their own prizes back so they can repost and make money. I dont have any items up for sale yet. Maybe the site should not allow you to bid on your own item? I also heard they are not allowing any new post for gift certificates?

did you all just see this. THE Plasma tv. sold out this morning...had 2000 tickets as of 2am last night..this morning at 11am it has 1100..30 minutes later it sold out. This could be a very good sign. Could mean traffic is very high or could mean two people are bidding stupid amounts for a t.v.
