If you are like me, you look to online auctions for various items. Sometimes I’ll look for auctions on items that I can’t find around here, or I’ll look for online auctions for items that I found where I live, but think I can find a better price if I get them online via an auction. That being said, I’m sure you can imagine where I usually end up doing my auction shopping. LOL However, I have found an interesting new auction website – the concept is new, at least to me, and I’m wondering if perhaps it might be a new one to you.
Bidazzled is an online auction website which uses purchased bid packs for your bids. Basically what you would do is purchase a bid pack and then use those bids to bid on items you want. Bids cost $1 and are available in packages starting at $25. Each bid you use raises the price you’d pay for the item by a few cents and adds a few seconds to the countdown to when the auction ends, allowing other bidders time to submit a bid on the item. Auctions are over when no bids have been placed before the countdown runs out. In a way I can almost see an item that two people really want taking forever to end! 
Now when you sign up, Bidazzled will give you five free bids. They’ve actually had some people win Nintendo Wii’s using only their five free bids! (Wish I’d been one of them! LOL) Plus, you can use code BBP1202A to get more bids when you register between now and January 15, 2010. So that would be 20 free bids! Come one now, wouldn’t you like a chance at getting a laptop or Wii for way less than it would cost to buy it at the store? Yeah, you would. 
I’ve been checking the Bidazzled out and I will say this – it is an interesting format for the auctions and it is kind of fun to bid this way. Plus I can get amazing deals on the items. Oh – plus – you have the option to sell your item back to Bidazzled for cash (paypal or check), cash and bids, or bids. So if you win an item, they’ll offer to buy it back from you. If you decide you don’t really want or need the item, they’ll buy it back from you.
What I like best about them though, is that their profits go to a lung cancer charity. (The Ruch Foundation.) This means that not only can I get great deals on what I’m bidding on, but I am also contributing to a charity at the same time. Not too shabby huh? That and they have a pretty cool referral program which gets you bids for referring people. It works like this:
Amy refers Jack – Amy receives 5 bids
Jack refers Billy – Amy receives 4 bids
Billy refers Jessica – Amy receives 3 bids
Jessica refers Angie – Amy receives 2 bids
Angie refers Tommy – Amy receives 1 bid
So you can gain extra bids by referring new users and by your referred users referring users. Pretty cool.
All in all, I’ve found Bidazzled to be a website worth checking out.
