GRANTS PASS, OR - There’s an old saying, “It’s an ill wind that blows no one any good,” and that’s proving true in the online auction business. Continuous changes at industry giant eBay have sent alienated sellers searching for new business venues. Sites that were previously considered “alternative” have become mainstream, and this has certainly been the case with OnlineAuction.com (OLA.com). “This is the busiest I’ve ever seen our site in August,” says OLA CEO Chris Fain.

Adding to OLA’s popularity have been on-going upgrades to the site that are tailored to meet member’s needs, as well as innovative advertising such as the OLA/YouTube contest.

Sellers join for $8.00 a month, or a Founding Member fee of $196.00 which offers a bonus package that more than equals the price, plus a free store called “My OLA House”, and the guarantee that their membership rate of $96.00 a year will stay the same for life. Says a spokesman about their “My OLA House”, “What’s unique about it is it’s not just a store, it’s an auction house. The benefit to both members and buyers is that our search application is available to items in the auctions and also in the sellers’ OLA House. When someone types in what they’re looking for on OLA, if it’s in an auction it will show up, or if it’s in an OLA House it will also show up! We know that members work hard to build their businesses and we want to promote them and their products.”

Buyers may join at no cost or may choose to become Verified Buyers for $4.00 per month. There are no listing or final value fees at OLA.com, and feedback remains a two-way street.

Reverse auctions gained popularity in the late 1990s as a result of the emergence of Internet-based online auction tools.
A reverse auction (also called procurement auction, low unique bid e-auction, sourcing event, e-sourcing) is a tool used in industrial business-to-business procurement. It is a type of auction in which the role of the buyer and seller are reversed, with the primary objective to drive purchase prices downward. In an ordinary auction (also known as a forward auction), buyers compete to obtain goods or services. In a reverse auction, sellers compete to obtain business.

Reverse auctions are used to fill both large and small value contracts for public and private commercial organizations. In addition to items traditionally thought of as commodities, reverse auctions are also used to source buyer-designed goods and services, and have even been used to source reverse auction providers. The first time this occurred was in August of 2001, by America West Airlines (now US Airways).

The legality of low unique auctions has been proven by the American, British and the Danish governments who are all using the low unique auction concept.

Each item offered, is set at a maximum bid price. A Sony Vaio Laptop worth 1100 Euro is guaranteed to sell for no more than a 5 euro bid cost.

The auction winner is the person who bids the lowest unique price. If 100 people bid ½ to 5 euro, but only one person bids 10.93 Euro, then this becomes the lowest unique bid and wins. If there isn’t a unique bid, Low Unique Bid Auction identifies the amount that got the fewest bids, and then awards the item to the first person to bid that amount. The winner only pays the bid price and nothing for the cost of shipping the goods. That’s for free.

We prefer to describe Low Unique Bid Auctions as “a strategy game”. And we have added a number of features to make the game more interesting. Low Unique Bid Auction lets users see if their bids are the Lowest Unique but it also gives them the chance to see approximately where the lowest unique bid is by telling the bidder if their bid is a “unique but not lowest”, bid, this way there is a fair chance for all bidders to work out where the Lowest Unique Bid is, then it’s just for the “strategic” person to wait to the right moment to bid, and make their number the lowest and unique.
We are sure that in a very short time after opening, we will have our first brand new car as an auction lot.

John Hughes, assistant professor at Harvard Business School, said the Low Unique Bid Auction system is so simple it appeals to a lot of Internet shoppers. Especially up to the holiday seasons and up to Christmas.

Low Unique Bid Auctions have the right concept for a success, said John Hughes.
They are offering the items at a real low bid price, no shipping cost or hidden cost for the bidders.
No one else is offering you that on the Internet today.

With the recent constraints eBay has placed on products delivered electronically, sellers are becoming more creative in how they market their services or items that might otherwise be a lousy fit or eBay. Take the anti-aging skin care industry, for…

MoneyAisle.com, a web site where banks competitively bid for customers through secure, live auctions has been launched by NeoSaej Corp.

NeoSaej of Burlington, MA, has developed a novel online auction strategy that it says should produce better interest rates for bank depositors. Its proprietary algorithms allow online vendors to engage in sophisticated behind-the-scenes bidding against each other before their offers are presented to customers.

MoneyAisle.com is set to open with over 100 participating banks and to introduce the first two of its product offerings: certificates of deposit (CDs) and high-yield savings accounts, according to the Burlington, Mass.-based company.

MoneyAisle Says,

Upon visiting MoneyAisle, a consumer simply types in the amount of money they have to invest in a CD or high-yield savings account and (in the case of a CD) how long they want the CD to mature for (three months, six months, one year, 18 months, etc.).

Within seconds, MoneyAisle shoots your request to the banks in our network and they respond with their best rates for that particular CD or high-yield savings account-in real time. The banks have a fully automated process set up, so you can utilize MoneyAisle 24/7.

MoneyAisle captures the best overall rate and then sends the winning rate in each round of bidding back to the banks to see if any of them will beat it.

The bidding is repeated as many times as necessary, until there is only one bank remaining, and the best price is left standing.

The consumer then ends up with the highest possible rate for the CD or high-yield savings account at that given time. If the consumer wishes to buy, he or she merely has to accept the winning bid and will then be taken to instructions for opening the account.

Notice those one and two word descriptions common throughout the world which can cause problems if a potential bidder searches eBay for ‘hatpins’ while you’ve chosen ‘hat pins’. This means it’s usually best to use both versions for your listing, especially in the title.
