Perhaps you have come across the websites which offer low bid auctions on various items. This is a new concept where contestants like you can bid on various exciting prices on offer and if you make the lowest unique bid, you win! Registration is free; so why not try your luck ? Low bid auctions are gaining in popularity and is really fun to join, bid on them and win free gifts.

Today I came across Bid4Prizes.com implementing the same concept of “lowest unique bidder wins” reverse auction game. You can either bid online or through SMS from your mobile phones to participate in the sweepstake. Their website is very well designed, user-friendly and has a good how-to guide if you are unsure about the mode of operation.

They are currently having free to participate auctions on items like Bose iPod Sound Dock, Zen vision, water scooter, Stiletto SL100, multimedia chair, canon powershot camera, epson movie mate, Apple iPhone and high value items like Samsung 50″ plasma TV; even a Scion XB car!

After registration, you can choose the auction item to bid on. Make your bid in cents. Say, you make a bid for $1.10 and when the auction closes, if none bids lower than or equal to $1.10 (the lowest unique bid), then you’re the winner! You only pay shipping charges and taxes if applicable. So what are you waiting for? Register with Bid4Prizes.com and bid now and win cash prize. Who knows, you might be the winner of a plasma TV!

Well, online auctions are nothing new. A large percentage of the internet population have come across online auction portals like eBay sometime in their life. A considerable percentage of them register and bid or list their products for sale. But how many of you have come across auction sites where the lowest but unique bidder wins? This is still an interesting and newer idea based on the some sort of modified “reverse auction” concept. I came across such a new auction site BassaBids.com which implements the same idea.

The site is new and still in beta, but looks impressive; currently running weekly ipod shuffle auction which is free to participate and win. Just registered at the site and placed a bid for the ipod but it wasn’t unique. After a few more tries, I was able to bid a unique yet low value. And yes, it seemed funny and I enjoyed doing participating in it. Some other auctions are also running for laptops, motorcycles, plasma TV and a car. So people who want to get access to goods very cheaply such as ipods, laptops, cars & motorbikes should try out BassaBids.com

The “lowest unique bidder” wins an auction. Its the person who has bid the lowest amount that no other person has bid. When two people place the same bid, that bid is no longer unique. When a person has a unique bid but there are others that are lower, then it’s not the lowest. To win any of BassaBids online auctions, you must be the one with the lowest & unique bid at the auction end - this clarifies the term “lowest unique bid” which determines the BassaBids auction winner. You can bid online currently and SMS bidding for selected countries will be available shortly as said by the website.

So, go ahead, try this online auction site and feel free to participate in the weekly free ipod shuffle auction while it lasts. Who knows, you may be the winner!

Online stores and online shopping are hot and increasingly becoming popular in the developed countries these days.

The concept of collecting and using Online Coupons is quite simple. There are various shopping and coupon directories on the web who offer coupons for various online stores listed categorically so that they are easy to find. A coupon search engine is generally also present which allows the consumer to do an advanced online coupon search. Online coupons are usually some code numbers or special hyperlinks.
