Five Tips for Successful Reverse Bidding

by Nick Scoleri

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.

Reverse bidding in a unique bid auction is different from this traditional form of online auction. Here the idea behind a unique bid. And so in this case, the bidder quoting the lowest price for a bid that no-one else has also bid, becomes the winner.

For example, a mobile phone is quoted at a price of $600. At auction end two people have made a bid of $1.60, three people bid $1.50 and only one person made the bid of $1.55. Here, the winner will be the person who has made the bid of $1.55. This is because $1.55 is the lowest, unique one - no one else has made an equal bid to this 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..
