I was remarking to a friend the other day how much I dislike Ebay now. It isn't like it was in the beginning, with your everyday people selling their things online to make a buck. In fact, I have a TON of baby girl clothes that are in perfect condition, but I'm not even going to bother trying to sell them on Ebay because people don't seem to use the site the same way they used to. Now, it seems to be geared more toward businesses selling products without a storefront. Which is fine, but I don't find their products to be discounted at all, and it just seems like "big business" as usual.
As I was looking around on the web, I stumbled upon Bidazzled . What a cool site! It's relatively new; launched in November, but already taking the auctioning world by storm. What I like about this is bids are purchased prior to bidding. This way, the price increases on a few cents rather then by what your actual full bid is. After you bid a few seconds are added to the clock, and if no one else bids the product is yours. So, if there's some high-ticket item and your bid is $1.20 with no bids after you, when the time runs out the item is yours. Fun! And, if you don't win, you receive up to 50 "bonus bids" as a thank you for participating in the bidding. So, no losing!
Another unique aspect to Bidazzled is it's creation. It wasn't set up to be just an auction site, but rather a way to help fund a cancer charity called The Ruch Foundation. Hey, if I can save 80% off of retail and help a charity at the same time, I'm all over it!
If you register on the site (no obligation to do anything other than register) before January 15th, you'll get 15 additional bids free. Just use the code BBP1202A. Right now, bids cost only $1.00, and if you buy a pack you can get them for as low as $25.
There's also a good referral program too where you get bonus bids based on the number of people you refer who register. Free is good!
For more information you can visit their blog. There's a lot of good information on there.
