BidRodeo is a new and fun way of shopping. It is a new type of auction called a penny auction, speed auction, or pay-per-bid auction. The auctions are for new and exciting merchandise like iPods, laptops, cameras, video games - all brand new and factory sealed. With our auctions, unlike some other sites, the winner gets to buy the item at a great discount, often 50% or more!
Multiple auctions run at the same time. All the items on auction are being offered by us, so you do not have to worry about being scammed by unscrupulous internet criminals. Each auction starts with a low initial price - $0.10, for example. It is set to end within a limited time. The basic idea is that auction participants pay a small amount of money for each bid. Every placed bid increases the price of the item by a small fixed amount ($0.10) and adds 10 seconds to the auction clock. The person who is the top bidder when the auction clock runs out is the winner. They get to purchase the item at the final auction price, which is most often a very attractive discount.
