June 15, 2011 - PRLog -- MONTREAL, QC, CANADA - Bid Penny Deal, a new online auction website, officially launches today at 2:00PM, EST.  To sweeten the pot during the launch period, the company will also be hosting a series of prize giveaway drawings, leading up to a Grand Prize drawing the 6th of July.

The company, proclaiming itself to be a new kind of penny auction site, vows to raise the bar for on-line penny auction sites, by ensuring that it is irreproachably fun, fair and transparent.

When asked to explain what makes Bid Penny Deal so special, Alain Paré responded, “What’s not different? We built this company to provide something we saw sadly lacking in the penny auction industry… transparency. Everywhere we went, we found some level of chicanery or downright dishonesty. We tried to find a site where we could have fun and get a fair chance, but we had no luck, so we decided to start one. We soon found that we’d have to do a lot of things differently to accomplish that.”

Bid Penny Deal is the brainchild of four co-founders, Alain Paré, Stéphane Raymond, Daniel Côté and Alain Pilleniere. They began their design process a year ago, opened the site to public-beta, and learned that they had still fallen somewhat short of what users really wanted from a penny bid auction website.

About six months ago, they began a total redesign and a second, more exhaustive closed beta process, in order to ensure they were properly focused on what their users hope to see in a penny auction site.

“Our beta testers were phenomenal! I think some of them put in as many hours as we did ourselves, in order to find all the bugs, make sure everything was clear and easily found, helping us make the site an enjoyable experience in every regard. We really should have gotten them more involved at the very beginning,” said Paré.

Alain Paré went on to say that after their first false-start, they decided that simply providing one penny auction site that was fun, fair and transparent wasn’t all they wanted to accomplish. They now hope to set a new standard of excellence that hopefully, will spread throughout their industry.

“We hope to see lots of visitors taking home some great items, so we can show them what an honest penny auction site can be like,” said Alain. “We’re going all-out on this, because we believe that people will appreciate the difference that BidPennyDeal.com will offer it’s users.”

Paré added that for a limited time, visitors can use the coupon code “BPDLAUNCH” to receive a 10% discount on their bid purchases.
