An exclusive Apple iPad 16GB was bought for a spectacularly small 81 pence through BidChase.com – an exciting new internet based auction site taking the UK by storm where highly desirable products can be bought for pennies.
Just launched, BidChase.com is part of a thriving new breed of websites that are already a huge hit in the US. Based on the ‘penny auction model’, items such as the Apple iPhone 16GB (sold at £7.67, RRP £529.99) Apple iPod Shuffle (sold at £2.39, RRP £60), Sony PlayStation 3 120GB (sold at £3.23, RRP £299.99) and Apple iPod Touch 32GB (sold at £14.69, RRP £269.99) have been be snapped up for a fraction of their retail price on the site.
People bidding for an item pay a small fee (75p) to place each bid. Each bid adds just a penny onto the total price of the item and extends the end time of the auction by 10-15 seconds. Just like a traditional auction, whoever has the highest bid when the clock stops, wins!
