The basic idea of bid4prizes is for you to find a prize that you like and place a bid to win it. Unlike many of the most popular auction websites where the highest bid wins the prize, with bid4prizes the lowest unique bid wins!

What is a standard auction bid?

A bid in any standard auction is normally the price that an individual is willing to pay for the product he/she is bidding on. IE: Let's say you bid $1,500 on EBay for a 60" HDTV that sells new for $2,000. At the end of the auction if your $1,500 bid is the highest bid you "win" the auction and now you pay for the prize. As the highest bidder you "win" the $2,000 TV for only $1,500 and you are happy!

What is a bid4prizes low unique bid?

The bid4prizes low bid auction is an auction "game" with real prizes that you actually can win. Here is how the game works: You find a prize you like IE: 60" HDTV that sells new for $2,000 but instead of bidding and paying $1,500 for it you bid .75 cents. Once you bid we will tell you whether your bid is low, high, unique, or duplicate and the game begins! Your job is to try and use the game tips we give you to determine the lowest unique bid which will win you the prize. The best part of all is that if your bid wins the prize you don't pay the .75 cents, you do not even pay for shipping. You just win the prize for free!

What is a unique bid?

A Unique Bid in the bid4prizes auction game is where one player has a unique bid amount that no one else has bid. This can be any amount from .01 cent on up. Remember in order to have a chance to win any prize you must first get a unique bid. Since you do not pay for the winning bid amount you could bid any number you want just make sure you get a unique bid for a chance to win that day's prize.

What is a duplicate bid?

A duplicate bid is when someone bids .01 cent and another person bids .01 cent. Because there are two bids for the same amount they cancel each other and now .02 cents would be the next lowest unique bid and so on until the auction ends.

What is a low unique bid?

The lowest unique bid is the lowest bid that was cast without any other player bidding on that prize with the exact same amount. IE: On the 60" HDTV every penny from .01-.75 all have two or more bids on them but .76 only has 1 bidder. When the auction ends whoever bid .76 owns the low unique bid and wins the 60" HDTV! If this is you imagine how happy you are now! To see and hear from actual winners click HERE .
