Buy an iPhone 3G and you name your price

Aug. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- The iPhone 3G is finally here in the Philippines and you can buy a shiny, new unit dirt-cheap only in Auction.ph.  

Auction.ph, the foremost online shopping mall in the Philippines, has an ongoing online promotion entitled iHoopla – The Cheapest iPhone 3G Ever!  The online event gives Auction.ph members a chance to name their desired price for the most desired gadget of 2008.  Participants in the promo can guess a price anywhere between Php1.00 and Php5,000.00 in Php0.50 increments (Php1.00, Php1.50, Php2.00…).  Essentially, the maximum price tag a winning participant will pay for is Php5,000.00.  The estimated selling price of the iPhone 3G (8GB) is at Php30,000.00++.

To join, Auction.ph members simply have to log in and visit the iHoopla event page.  The member automatically gets one chance to guess a price for the iPhone 3G.  Non-members can join as well by signing up for free membership.  They automatically earn one chance to guess a price after the sign-up process.  Participants can earn more chances by referring others to sign-up for membership, answering a quiz or by downloading and posting items available on the event page.  

After the 3-week period, all the guess prices cast shall be raffled electronically.  The participant who cast the winning guess price first, wins the promo and gets to buy a brand new iPhone 3G for that price, tax-free.    

iHoopla was launched last August 15, Auction.ph’s 2rd year anniversary and will be open until September 4. The winning guess price shall be revealed on the event page on September 5 at 3.00pm.
