Tips for Successful Reverse Bidding



Bidding is the usual way in which a product is sold in the presence of multiple buyers in an standard auction . The person making the highest bid, usually wins.

A unique bid auction is new and different from this. In a unique bid auction – sometimes called a reverse auction – you are bidding is to make a unique offer. And in this case, the bidder quoting the lowest UNIQUE price for a bid becomes the winner.

It is best illustrated with an example: an HD TV is quoted at a price of $3000. Now, two people make a bid of $2.60, three people bid $1.51 and only one person makes the bid for $1.66. In this case, the winner will be the person who has made the bid of $1.66. Even if there are people bidding a lower price than this, the bidder of $1.66 is the only (and the lowest )unique one.

Reverse bidding is an unusual concept but it is interesting and profitable too as it enables bidders and auction visitors to get items at a considerably lower price. Reverse bidding auctions have gained much popularity amongst the more usual Internet auction sites. Many Australian online auctioneers are now choosing to make the lowest unique bid the winner for their products..
