Nope... the auctions are won by whoever has the most unique bid.

Read the faq on the site... a good idea for once....

Just read the faq, a very cool concept. Interesting.

Its basically a lottery. From how I understand it, unlike a regular auction, if you bid $10.05 for something - you are committed to paying $10.05 whether you 'win' or not. That's why their reserve auction is based on a minimum number of bids.

For the 350Z for example, the max bid is $720. Let's say that the winning big is $585.20 - there are a ton of bids for less than that amount, and the aggregate of those bids makes up for the selling price of the item. If you bid $520.82 you basically bought a $520.82 'ticket' for a chance to win the 350Z.

MrJackMeHoff · 11-29-2005, 11:25 AM

thats retarded if you lose on high dollar items tho..

I don't think it works that way.. the way I understood it is: you can get any number of bids in, but each bid costs you $$$. For example, to get 1 ticket for 350z will cost you $10, and you can strategically pick tickets. You will pay the winning price at the end, but they make money on people buying those $10 tickets.

Manowar · 11-29-2005, 11:28 AM

wtffff i dont get it

Biggy2 · 11-29-2005, 11:41 AM

would you want to sell something on this site? it's definitely a buyer's market.

This would make sense too.. It was hard to tell from the site exactly how much it cost to place a bid.

dig420 · 11-29-2005, 12:45 PM

who the hell wants to work that hard? I'd rather just have a firm price and pay it.

Platinumpimp · 11-29-2005, 12:58 PM

Doesn't matter how it works, its most definately a scam.

spideriux · 11-29-2005, 02:25 PM

nice one !

Bex · 11-29-2005, 02:28 PM

Looks like a scam to me.

nofx · 11-29-2005, 02:28 PM

fucking confusing

Quote:

Similar to other online auctions in the quest for encouraging fun, Unique Auction is truly unique in some very unusual ways.

On Unique Auction the maximum price for any product is 20% of the retail price.

For example a product with a retail price of $100 would be sold under the Unique Auction hammer for a maximum price of only $20.

Our unique platform ensures that no bids can exceed the $20 maximum price threshold and the highest unique bidder under $20 wins. Each bid placed has an administration cost of $1 for members and $2 for non-members.

Furthermore, Unique Auction does not require luck, but more importantly skill and strategy providing everyone with an equal opportunity of winning.

Unique Auction is an online auction that is based on value and entertainment with countless opportunities. The chances of winning depend on you.

Basicly that's just a stupid fucking lotto...

Furious_Female · 11-29-2005, 03:54 PM

This was tried before in a true lottery fashion. People paid $1 per ticket and could do it on cars etc. You need some huge volume to get it off the ground.
