Online 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. At this early stage not many shoppers are claiming their raffle tickets, so, for the one’s who do, an entry into the shoppers raffle gives them the best odds of winning cash or other prizes of any site I have ever seen.

On fossicking further into the Trader Auction Games site I learnt about their free Internet auction. I’m not joking, it truly is free. How they work it is ingenious. Site owners have built their free Internet auction so that members of the TAG City site can sell their used items for TAG points to other people, as members gather more TAG points, they can then trade up by bidding those points for bigger and better auction items. Members can bid their TAG points to bid on one or more cash auctions. Yes, they bid points to win an auction of real cash money up to $200 in value. When these guys say they have a free auction they aren’t kidding.

A few 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 items 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.

In addition to the above, the site has a random prize draw where winners are drawn every few hours. Gifts, prizes, whatever you want to call them, include cash and other items from participating shops. As is now customary, Trader Auction Games has stepped outside of the box in developing their sweepstakes. The Trader Auction Games site guarantees that all members will be drawn to win prizes or cash in the TAG City random members prize draw every two days. Winners are drawn in blocks based on the first letter of their first name. All the people whose names start with the letter C could be drawn now, then 120 minutes later all the members whose names start with P could be chosen and so on until every letter in the alphabet has been picked. That takes about 48 hours and then the entire process starts over again. Yes, there’s a catch, and that is that you only have a short period to claim your prize once your name has been selected. Win up to $500 cash in the TAG sweepstakes.

I rate the Trader Auction Games site five stars when it comes to shopping, games, competitions and free fun.
