Frequently Asked Questions
- As opposed to traditional auctions where the highest bid wins, at Winnit.com members bid SMALL to win BIG! Winnit members bid against each other by placing their guess for the lowest, unique amount on any given product, which results in a winning price that equates to a small fraction of retail cost.
- Your bid will be deemed the "lowest, unique" at the close of an auction if you are the first (and only!) member to bid a price as close to zero as possible without guessing a price that someone else has already bid.
- The goal of a reverse auction is to guess the lowest bid that no one else has already placed on an item. Once your first bid is registered, Winnit will provide you with hints to help you locate the current lowest, unique bid in an auction (unless of course the lowest, unique bid is yours!)
- Yes! You may place as many bids as you would like in any given auction!
- The option of serial-bidding allows you to place multiple bids between two set prices at one time. For example, if you wish to place bids from $.25-.50, you can use a serial-bid and enter the range as $.25-.50, allowing you to effectively cover every amount between them. Please note that you will be charged a fee-per-bid for each amount within your selected range.
- If a single Lowest Unique Bid has not been received by the close of an auction then the winner is determined by the lowest bid amount that has been placed by exactly two members. The member that placed this bid amount first will be deemed the winner. If an auction does not have a bid amount that exactly two members have placed then Winnit will find the bid amount that three users have bid and apply the same rules.
