How SmartBid Works

Welcome to SmartBid! We're an exciting new auction game where you can win great products for pennies! Our auction format is different from traditional sites such as eBay, keep reading and we'll fill you in:



1How do our auctions work?
At SmartBid, it's the lowest, unique bid that wins. Here’s an example - let's say at the end of an auction, the bidding looks something like this:
How-it-works
First, we take away all the non-unique bids. We are left with 3 and 5 cents. Since 3 cents is lowest among all the unique bids - it wins!

Each bid requires a small bidding fee starting at $1. A small fee to get your product for a fraction of it's retail price. Also, all auctions have a maximum number of bids, which are the how many bids remain before it will close.
