Hello friends and lotters! Are you fond of joining some competitions or games online that have price? Have you ever experienced winning online? Well,I just did,yahu! And I received the item I won just yesterday afternoon,yahu again,haha! I really wanted to give my hubby a gift I know he really likes to have and it's kinda expensive. I learned about a site,an auction site where you bid for a certain gadget and win if you're the last bidder. And I was lucky enough to have won the camera my hubby wanted,yehey! It's a Nikon DSLR camera! I attached the picture here for you to see. It really feels great! Share your experience!

I am a member of Stamp Wants and I am a philatelist,which means I collect stamps.I am just overwhelm to the fact that my address was here in the Philippines yet they still send it to my address.It does not mean that stamps are very few here,in fact I have thousands of stamps in my collection.

Wow,that's really great! But may I ask what's the stamps for? I know that stamps are used for sending some letters. Is it hard to get some stamps in your place?

Oh,so now you are going to bid too,yahu! My tip for you my friend,go for bid packs first like 50 bid packs and another product so you can have more bids in the future. And let them bid first,if you feel like they don't have any more bids to bid,then that's the right time to enter,haha! Usually, when there are only two bidders left,the bidding is almost to end. Good luck my dear jai!

Hi mtr Reading the headline, I was tempted to search for Yahu! and hey I did find it To be honest, I dont have that luck with me to win any lottery! The only time I did win was way back, it was a table clock - the consolation prize! And I had promised that whatever gift I would get I would give it to the friend of mine from whose shop I had purchased the tickets. I did gift it to him and he placed that gift on the shop - years later, when I revisited his shop, his shop had become bigger but the clock was still on his cash desk - and that did make me feel on top of the world. It is really great to know that you won the Nikon DSLR camera... an expensive one... and now, I am sure to see more pictures of you, dear crystal and hubby on mylot

Though we have never met in person, I have always felt so close like family with you and crystal too... maybe this is why you could be confident that I would comment on the "yahu" and this closeness is a definite plus thing which tells me I and dear little crystal would go together well As for the friend and the clock, yes it is a memoir of our friendship. He has been a good friend though our friendship is not that very close I wish you a good exploration of the camera... as I am sure the features on that Nikon would be easy

Oh,you are indeed dear to me my dear buddy! And I treasure our friendship that much. It was only here in mylot that I was able to have foreign friends. And if it's not because of this friendship,I wouldn't be even close to our Indian neighbors next door. You Indians are so kind and friendly! Waaa,with regards to the camera,I was trying to explore it last night by just reading the manual and I did not continue the exploration 'cause I can't even attach the lens to the cam,so afraid I might break it,waaa!

Haha,I knew you'd search for yahu again dear buddy! When I was writing yahu,I thought of you,haha! It's really feels great to see your gift still exists to the one you gave your present,that makes one important and special and that only shows my friend that you are special to him. Wow,that would be a big help on my side buddy if you're gonna bond with my little Crystal,haha! Am still exploring the camera buddy,hubby told me to use it first while he's still not here,haha!

Hello mtrguanlao! Congratulations on your win. I use to be a regular at a sweepstakes website and I have actually won a couple of nice things. I won a 50 inch plasma television in 2005, and in 2008 I won a Bose CD player/radio. I have won smaller items like perfume as well. It is an excellent feeling! I have a friend who just won a brand new truck a couple of months ago. It is shocking to a lot of people but it can be done. Of course a percentage of taxes has to be paid on winnings, but it is worth it. Congratulations again! :)

Wow,that's truly amazing! You are so lucky! I wonder what sweepstakes site it is. And your friend is so lucky to have won a truck,wow! I wish to win a car or a house and lot but I don't see any site that offers those prizes in our country,haha! As with my winning camera,I only paid for the shipping fee. Congratulations to you too apickett!

Oh,that is one thing somehow saddens me apickett,most sites are US based. I'm from Philippines and I'm sure it's not applicable in our country. Good luck to you!

Thank you. That was wonderful and I need to start entering more sweepstakes again. I think the website is mainly US based unfortunately. There are a few sweepstakes for the United Kingdom and Canada though. I'm not sure where you are located. But anyway..congratulations again. That would be an awesome camera to have!!

I never tried such contest online, moreso the type of competition which you have just won. I am not good at bidding nor fond of purchasing something through internet. What you've got thou would be a good remembrance to your hubby.

Hello my dear bhaby! Thank you! Oh yes,it's expensive,that is why I stood up when I saw the word Ended in that auction site and my username was there and I shouted, I won,haha! My parents even asked me if that is not a scam,I said no,they only believed it when the camera was delivered at home. The staffs took a video of me and asked me some experiences regarding my winning moment,kinda shy in front of their video cam,oh my,haha! Oh,with regard to the cam,I tried to explore it last night and I was afraid I might break it,waaa!

Thanks my friend viju! He was really surprised when I told him about it,haha! Actually, my plan was not to tell him about my gift for him but then he told me he's going to buy one since he saw a dslr camera in a low price some place in the US,oh my! So i got no choice but to tell him that I already have one for him,haha!

Oh wow! congratulations ... I never heard about an auction site before. I had heard about a site where you play games and win prizes. My nephew used to play there, but I guess he never won anything there. I guess people have to be really lucky to win anything online. Cheers

I actually known the site last year but it was only now that I became active since I needed to win some for my hubby,lol! I just thought I might have it and luckily I won,yahu! There are actually so many auction sites existing now but I go for one that is available in our country.

Congratulation...! In India we have a website called www.jeetle.in/ where I am a member since last 2 years. But till date I have never been able to win anything. Here in the site the lowest unique bidder gets to win products in exchange for the price he/she has done bidden.

Hi there. I have actually looked at the auction sites, but when it came to actually signing up, I would decide to hold off, cause I didn't know if it would be worth the money you have to pay up front for bidding. I may decide to give it a try if I can make myself get off my pocketbook. The economy changed my financial life so drastically in the last 3 or so years, that I have been quite stingy on buying anything that I don't need or my momma doesn't need to have. I haven't ever won anything online, altho when I do surveys with Inboxdollars every now in then, I get added to drawings for cash, but I have never received any notification that I have won anything. Odds are very low anyhow, right? I am very glad for you that you were blessed in winning something that you wanted as much as you wanted that nice expensive camera for your husband. Talk to you later!

Hi LJ! I know there are free bids they give upon signing up. What I did was to use those free bids to bid on some bid packs and I was lucky enough to won 50 bid packs,that was my first winning! And I used those 50 bids to bid for some products I like again but unfortunately,I lost almost 35 bids. But I was lucky enough to won the camera by just 6 bids so I didn't buy any bid packs. But I also bought some bids last year when I was just new and so excited to bid,lol! I bought almost $10 for the bid packs and still no regrets since I won worth more than $10 recently,and that is the camera, and I'm so happy for it. Oh yes,there are some survey sites that are giving some lottery sweepstakes when you participate in their surveys. Well,what's good is you got it even without their notifications,right,lol! Great to see you here LJ!
