Leading UK managed hosting and cloud service company iomart Hosting has helped Edinburgh-based Bidbroo - www.bidbroo.com - create an online auction site that allows people to get high street products like televisions and cameras at knockdown prices.

It is based on the idea that the lowest unique bid wins and combines the fun of shopping with the entertainment of an auction house, all hosting on the web.

Bidbroo founder Mike Christopherson said:' As every auction reaches its conclusion a real feeding frenzy takes place. With the help of iomart Hosting we can react fast and efficiently to that customer demand and will be able to cope with more customers as we grow the company.'

Phil Worms, Director Marketing of iomart Group, added:' The concept behind Bidbroo is really exciting and we're delighted to be playing our part. By its very nature an online auction ends in a bidding war and causes spikey web site traffic which requires on demand hosting services to make sure that the end user experience runs smoothly. iomart Hosting is delighted to have been chosen to work with Bidbroo and no we weren't the lowest bid!'

The way the unique bidding system works is that the lowest individual or unique amount that has been bid for an item wins. So, if several people have bid 1 pence but one person has bid 2 pence, then the 2p bid wins. Bidbroo makes its revenue on the number of bids made.

Since its recent inception, Bidbroo has attracted registered 4,500 members and now has big plans to expand its customer base as word spreads of its unique shopping portal.

It has just launched a new feature called 'Price Drop' which means that an item's price drops as it is revealed with the scenario repeated until someone cannot contain themselves any longer and purchases the item for the reduced rate.

Phil Worms added: 'Bidbroo's business model of delivering a highly interactive online user experience coupled resulting in traffic peaks and troughs perfectly illustrates the benefits and power that flexible cloud services offer today's businesses.'

Bidbroo itself is the brainchild of Swedish entrepreneurs Mike Christopherson and Per Tegelof.

Reverse auctions and traditional auctions are very different. In a traditional auction, bids from potential buyers inflate the price of an item until the highest bid wins. In a reverse auction, the buyer submits the auction and the participants are the potential suppliers of goods and services. The suppliers vie to get contracts by offering lower and lower prices. The winner of the auction is the supplier with the lowest bid.

Holding reverse auctions online reduces costs to a minimum, and the relevant documentation is available to all parties involved in the auction.

How do reverse auctions on Aligero work?

The reverse auction system on Aligero is available as an online web application. Registration for buyers and sellers is quick and easy. To set up an auction, buyers enter their requirements, estimated cost, date of delivery or completion, additional documentation, and the auction termination date. Candidates wishing to participate in the auction put in their offers. Participants may not to sit together in the same room.

During the auction, bidders can see the offers and respond directly, adjusting their prices to their best offer. The winner of the reverse auction is the candidate offering the lowest price. After the auctioned work is completed, buyers and sellers can evaluate each other. These reviews help others select trusted users.

Using online reverse auctions can save buyers up to 30% on goods and services. Because suppliers can view the other offers and compete for the contract, the buyer always gets the lowest price possible.

PEZ® collectors have a new home at eBid, the largest and most established eBay alternative with free listings, zero or low selling fees and a vibrant international community spanning the US and Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australasia.

The urban myth that eBay was started by Pierre Omidyar to help his girlfriend find collectible PEZ® dispensers has lived for over a decade. Today, the reality is that enthusiasts are rapidly moving to eBid.

PEZ® enthusiast and collector for over 20 years, Richie Belyski from South Carolina, moved from eBay due to their high listing fees at the beginning of the year. Richie, the editor of PEZ® Collectors News (www.PezCollectorsNews.com) and organizer of US PEZ® collector conventions says: 'eBid is growing rapidly and is very easy to use. No listing fees, low selling fees and free dealer stores make it a great place to connect with others and to make a profit. I'm urging all PEZ® collectors to join eBid.'

This month, eBid unveils a new site design along with hundreds of technical upgrades and enhancements to make the site quicker, slicker and easier to use together with a promise of no more auction fees ever for a one off payment of $49.49 special offer.
The highly anticipated changes include fashionable colors, intuitive navigation and simple functionality changes. Among these, eBid releases its proprietary 'Ninja Lister' application to dynamically enable offline auction creation and ease the transfer of auctions from other sites. Additionally, the site is expanding shipping options in the US with the inclusion of Fedex. Members now have three options - Fedex, UPS and USPS.

Mark Wilkinson, eBid co-founder says: 'We are delighted to welcome the PEZ® Collectors Community to eBid. We've been in business over ten years and in an ever changing e-commerce online environment, this validates that we are moving in the right direction. Our competitors' members are joining us in droves and this influx demonstrates our ongoing commitment to continually improve.'

In October 2009, after becoming one of only three inaugural partners in Google's new Product Search Marketplace Partner Program, which enables online shoppers to have up-to-date information to make smart buying decisions, eBid grew 16% month on month and since officially launching in the US in September 08 after beta testing, eBid has grown from 1.3 million live auctions to 3 million with 10,000 live stores.

According to James Massey, the CHR publisher, who also publishes WhatSellsBest.com, a website tracking top collectibles sold on eBay. The price disparities between cheap homes and rare collectibles (selling on eBay) can be astounding at times, but it's not all that uncommon.

Massey stated, he'd seen a lot of houses selling on eBay for less than $5,000, especially over the last year. "It makes sense people don't want to be tied to a cheap home in an area facing a lot of economic uncertainty. But, sometimes, the best long term investments are bought when nobody wants them."
