Beter dan slap chips

Seller: Penny2007
Name: Penny Ackermann

During the four years of her bidorbuy selling career, Penny Ackermann has known only praise from her buyers.  One satisfied customer says: “Penny is beter dan slap chips”, which roughly means: “Penny is the best thing since sliced bread.” Read on to find out what kind of attitude makes this seller so fine.

Penny started selling on bidorbuy in 2007. That fact is a part of her bidorbuy alias, Penny2007. To date she has made over five thousand sales on the site and enjoys a 100 percent positive feedback from the buyers. With such a stellar record, it’s no wonder that Penny2007 was among the top bidorbuy sellers for Western Cape two years in a row. This is how Penny Ackermann describes her bidorbuy experience:

My name is Penny (Penny2007).

I am totally and utterly in love (and addicted!)

In love with and addicted to bidorbuy!

For as long as I can remember, I have also wanted to have an affair with someone (or something!) that wouldn’t lift the eye-brows. Not so easy to come by – until I met BOB about four years ago!

I have, during the past four years, “met” the most amazing and stunning “faceless” people! I have become part of a huge bidorbuy family and I adore every moment of it!

I have various items on offer, ranging from a variety of semi-precious “klippe”, a selection of genuine gemstones as well as solid Sterling Silver items of exquisite jewellery.

My sales technique? I don’t have one!

I pride myself in offering authentic items, because a happy and contented buyer is far more important to me than the few “bucks” involved!

I make a point of immediately mailing a parcel as soon as I have received notification of payment and I ensure that my packaging is of a high standard (and with a personal touch) so that the recipient would be thrilled when opening the parcel!

The cherry on the cake (for me) is the more than 5 000 positive ratings that I have received from my faceless and satisfied friends! The best one, thus far, I think, was when a happy customer proclaimed:

“Penny is beter dan slap chips!”  I can only hope that this buyer experienced his most enchanting moment while having “slap chips”!

My fondest memories of BOB?

I was fortunate enough to have been invited by BOB to attend two special dinners in Cape Town (2010 and 2011) and it was indeed a spectacular feast! It was great fun meeting fellow-Bobbers in real life!

I also adored meeting the “top brass” who make BOB run so smoothly and efficiently. They were younger (but also more impressive and fun!) than I had imagined!

What does BOB mean to me?

BOB fills my (sometimes) lonely nights AND I make a few extra “bucks” in the process! Best of all is that there is absolutely no pressure! I can do it whenever and wherever I like! AND… Whenever I need advice, there is forever a “big brother” on the other end of the line who is always gentle and helpful! Thanks, Bertus!

Most of all, BOB means having “met” numerous loving, caring, stunning, loyal and gorgeous fellow Bobbers!

I would have been SO much poorer without all of them!

    Wat kan ek se;… behalwe dat ek die voorreg gehad het om Penny persoonlik te ontmoet.. en dat ek die gesiglose Bob’eer “Ditto”! Haar persoonlikheid en “joie de vivre” is warmer as die somerson se sonstrale, wat ‘n mens knus omvou en koester op ‘n Lentedag. Penny, jy is voorwaar “skaarser” as die spreekwoordelike hoendertand…, en ek lig my hoed op vir jou!
    Jy is voorwaar.. “een uit ‘n miljoen”. Is ‘n voorreg om jou onder my vriende te kan tel! Daar’s net ‘n handvol.., en jy is een van hulle!
    Ems!

      For those who struggle with Afrikaans, we obtained a translation. Basically, E Willemse says that she has had the privilege of meeting Penny personally and that she highly appreciates Penny’s cheerful and warm personality. According to E Willemse, Penny is “one in a million”, people like her are “scarcer than hen’s teeth”, and E Willemse takes her hat off to her. (Penny must be bushing after all that praise – with pleasure, we are sure. As for us, we are most pleased to have sellers like Penny2007 on bidorbuy.)

    I know Penny now for a couple of years and me and my wife, Stein, are the proud owners of many an item won on BoB as advertised by Penny.
    I can assure you – what you see in the photo and read in the description – is absolutely true. I am one of those buyers that tests everything that I have won – many sellers can vouch for that! Up till now it was never necessary for me to query anything that I have won from her!
    Penny, I do hope that there will still be many good years in front of us – we are worried if we do not see any items advertised by Penny2007!
    Penny, mag die toekoms nog steeds so goed, en beter! – wees as die verlede! Jy is iemand wat mens op kan reken vir daardie spesiale item wat mens na soek.
    Baie groete, Philip en Stein
