How it works?

Penny Auctions

 

Welcome to Bidserk, home of some of the most exciting auctions on the internet.  Our auctions work a little bit differently - once you’ve got the hang of them, we think you’ll love them.

There’s a few key things that are different from other auctions you might have used online:

 

          1.   Bidding on our auctions starts at just 7c(unless otherwise specified in auction box) with no reserve prices.

          2.   The price only goes up by 7c with each bid placed.(unless otherwise specified)

          3.   If a bid gets placed in the final moments, we extend the auction by up to 20 seconds.

          4.   Each bid placed on an auction costs just $0.65 to $1.00 enabling us to offer such amazing deals.



 
Let’s take a look and see how this works in practice:

Here’s an auction that’s currently running – the bidding’s reached US $6.11 01, and there’s just 10 seconds 02 to go:

Let’s look and see what happens when you bid.
Each bid placed costs you $0.75.

First – you’re now the highest bidder 04  You can also see that the price has gone up by 7c 03 and the countdown has reset to 10 seconds.05  You’ll also have one less bid in your account.

If no one else bids in these 10 seconds, then "SOLD" – you’ve won!

Zero Bid Auctions

 
Zero Bid Auctions go down in price on every bid.
 
The Start Price is based on the street retail value of the item and is the price before the first bid.
 
The "Current Price" is hidden. To view the current price, a Bidserk member must spend a single bid credit. The price is then displayed for a few seconds and the price goes down $0.50 cents for everyone
 
For example:
 
Suppose the Start Price for a product is $299.00 and it has been bid down to $199.00. The "Start Price:" will now show $299.00 and the "Current Price:" will show "???".
 

 
Once you click on the "Show Price" button, the following three things will occur:

04First item price will be hidden with "???"

04Click on "Show Price" button item price will go down $0.50. You will see that the price is now $89.50.
