While lowest unique auctions usually require winners to buy the product at their bid price, some prize competition sites simply give away the prize to the player who submitted the winning bid. While lowest unique bidding competition sites are nothing new, we continue to discover new sites that are built around this concept. Here is a quick snapshot of some great examples we recently came across.
Swoopo is one of the most popular lowest unique number bidding sites in Europe, with over 94,000 auctions successfully completed so far! Formely known as Telebid and founded in 2005, the site features a wide selection of prizes on offer, particularly gadgets and gaming consoles. Every closed auction features lots of information to allow you to tailor your gameplay, including the amount saved by the winner versus the normal retail price of each item. The site also features a wide range of types of auctions, all
Knockout bids runs games built around the concept of submitting guesses to win prizes on the site. Players can register to buy guesses, which they can use to play any of the games on the site. Prizes on offer include digital cameras, camcorders and iPod Shuffles. To invite players to have a go, the site is currently offering the chance of winning 5 guesses for free.
Lowest Unique Bid uses a similar concept to offer popular prizes ranging from PS3, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 consoles and bundles, to bigger prizes such as cars and scooters. Players register to buy credits on the site, which they can use to bid for the prizes featured in the live auctions. The site features all the results of past auctions to help players use this information when bidding.
Last, but not least, Bidster is originally a Scandinavian site that has a strong presence in the UK and across Europe. It features a wide selection of prizes and as a testament of its popularity, regularly offers players a chance of winning luxury sports cards, including Audi TT Roadsters.
Similar sites are regularly appearing online, offering players a new way of winning prizes online. Unlike traditional auctions, the winners of lowest unique number auctions only ever have to pay a very small amount to take possession of the prize. In most cases, they are only required to pay a standard bidding fee.
Happy bidding! |
