There are so many choices today for great online shopping. From specialty etailers to brick and mortar online stores to online auctions and more. So when you buy something, how do you know you're really getting the best deal?
For many of us who are so lucky with being able to do online shopping we find it is no longer a luxury. In fact, it's an outright necessity. Usually a local store or shopping mall does not carry the products that we often buy online. And sometimes when they do, some of us shop online for the better or best price, and the good feeling that we get when we find that we scored a good deal.
And, while 2008 was not the best year for ecommerce online shopping given the flurry of economic conditions, eMarketer reports that U.S. retail E-commerce sales for 2008 was at about $136 billion just up a slight 7.2 percent from $127 billion in 2007. And Amazon had a stellar holiday season selling 72.9 items per second, according to Web Pro News.
And, while the U.S. State Department of Commerce starting tracking these statistics since 1999, for many of us online shopping with the intent to get the a great deal is a necessary part of our shopping habit.
Although they didn't see double digit growth, to me that number tells me people are still buying online and that there is opportunity whether you are a buyer or a seller.
At Dubli You Drive Down the Price for a Fun Online Shopping Experience
You know that there are many ways to find hot deals online from closeout retailers to auction houses such as eBay or shops like Amazon. In many cases, you may be buying last year's model or a discontinued style, color or make, or a new item that is just at retail or just shy of retail.
As an alternative to the good shopping you can do on eBay and Amazon, there is a way to have a fun online shopping experience with Dubli, a great online shopping auction site where you can get great deals that no other online vendor can match. How? Because the lowest bid wins. Imagine if you were able to pay $0 for an item, would you consider that be a great online shopping deal? I guess it would depend on how much the item is worth to you, right?
Okay, how about a $5,000 WalMart gift certificate? Someone recently got it at Dubli for $0. That's a great experience isn't it?
Or would you pay $20 for an iPod touch rather than retail price. It depends what is it worth to you, right? (Check out Online Radio interview to hear how a woman spent $8 to buy a $350 Microsoft X-Box.
You Drive Down the Price
Dubli is a fun shopping portal that is not like eBay It is an online auction shopping site with a ton of fun mixed in. Unlike eBay and other online auction houses where the highest price wins, on Dubli, you get great bargain online shopping because you drive the price down. How do you do it?
Easy. When you go to the site, you register for free and then you purchase what are called "Dubli bid credits." The product categories vary and you can find electronic products such as iPods, GPS, flat screen TVs; or designer goods such Vuitton bags or motor vehicles such as the Mini or packaged vacations and more.
How Bid Credits Work at This Unique Big Discount Auction
The product information details are given except for the price. The way the Dubli system works is that you use your Dubli "bid credits" when you want to see what the price is for a product. To view the price, one Dubli credit is used at a cost of .80 cents or less (depends on how many you buy at a time). Once you view a product, the price is automatically driven down by 25 cents.
A Quick Overview on How Dubli Works
o Each click on "show price" lowers the actual price
o The price drops in .25¢ increments
o Each "show price" click costs .80¢
o When the price is right - just buy it!
So when you have thousands of people bidding on a product, you can see why you obtain it for what you feel the product is worth to you. If you wait too long, someone else can buy the product right from under you. That's why the bargain online shopping deals on Dubli are at 90% below retail!
Now, that type of online shopping is fun and exciting and you don't have to drive to eight different stores for a low price. Dubli has a total of three auction platforms. The one mentioned above, and that I like best, is the "Xpress" option. When I use a bid credit to view the price I decide whether it's low enough to purchase. I can then decide to watch it or click to buy it.
You can learn more about the other two auction types after you register at BigDiscountAuction to receive your F.R.E.E. bid credits. There are items that you can win for $0, or use your credits to view the price of an item and drive it down.
I know you want to save money, so I thought I'd bring this unique online shopping with fun to you.
