Interesting concept, eBay addicts would go nuts
If I was living and working in the US, I know a few people who would be addicted to Bid4Prizes. What happens is you join the site and you try to bid as low as possible, and the lowest bid amount with only one bidder (i.e., the bid amount is unique amongst all other bidders) wins. You can play by SMS (unlimited bids) for $9.99 a month (wow, that could build up) or for free online.
If you’re one of those majorly lucky types, you should know that you’re restricted to winning only once every 90 days.
So to sweeten the deal, they will give you ‘points’ for every bid you make, and you can redeem those points at the shop. You’ll need to bid at least 100 times to get a laser pointer and 325 times to get a twee leather backpack (yeah — what a bargain). IMHO, if you’re doing it by phone, it’s only really worthwhile if you’re bidding on every single sweepstake they have on the site every month, every day. There are 17 prizes on the site at the moment, one of which is an Apple iPhone. Are they even out yet?!
I can definitely see the addictive quality of this site.

What do you mean, “This post is sponsored”? By whom? For how much? Eh?
And, Andrea… you succumbed to Twitter? Oh, woe is us!
Hehe. I’ve been writing Blogsvertise posts for months. It makes a few bucks to pay for hosting.
Oh yeah, and Twitter is cheaper for moblogging than GPRS!
