Buy It Now
Bid-Bob.com Buy It Now Details:
- This program allows you to bid on our auctions in a “risk free” format.
- Once an auction is complete there is a clear winner, and then there are other Bidders who have spent bids along the way but did not win the auction.
- If you are one of the Bidders that did not win the auction, but spent bids along the way the ‘Buy It Now’ Feature is a great way to receive more value for your efforts.
- If you choose the ‘Buy It Now’ option, you may purchase the auction item for the auction retail price (i.e. a $50 Gift Card has an auction retail value of $50). Bid-Bob.com will then return HALF the bids you spent during the auction to your account.
- If you really want a $50 WalMart Gift Card or an Amazon Kindle Fire, the Buy It Now Feature allows you to purchase that item regardless of whether you win the auction. If you don’t win and choose the Buy It Now Feature, we’ll return half the bids you spent during the course of the auction. The Buy It Now Feature applies to anyone who placed at least 2 Bids on a specific auction, yet did not win the auction.
For Example:
If you bid 100 times on a $100 Gift Card but do not win the auction, you have spent about $50 worth of bids. Your cost is $50, and your return is $0.
When you decide to use the ‘Buy It Now’ Feature:
Bid-Bob.com will refund 50 Bids to your account, and you may purchase the $100 Gift Card at the auction retail price ($100).
Your cost is $150 for the item PLUS the 100 bids you spent.
But instead of having a return of $0, you receive $25 in bids back to your account and you take home the $100 Gift Card. Using the Buy It Now Feature, you virtually ‘break even’ on an auction that you don’t win. You’ve spent $150 Dollars and have the item you wanted PLUS $25 in Bids back in your account. If you do not choose the Buy It Now Feature in this example, your Cost is $50 in spent bids and you don’t have the product OR half the bids you spent on the auction back in your account.
Why Use the Buy It Now Feature?
- This rewards the bidders who are ready to aggressively pursue Auction items at pennies on the dollar. Regardless of whether you win or lose the auction, your investment of time and spent bids will allow you to take home the product you are pursuing.
- This is a great way to shop for the holidays, or any other occasion. At Bid-Bob.com, you have the chance to win great products and gift cards at up to 98% off Retail Price (including the cost of bids and shipping). With the Buy It Now Feature you are bidding with a virtual “safety net” if you don’t win the auction.
- Bid-Bob.com will return ½ the bids you spent on an auction, so you have a chance to win another auction without having to buy another Bid Pack.
How does it Work?
- Once the auction is completed and someone else has won, simply ‘Click’ on the ‘Buy It Now’ icon and fill out the brief form so we know the specific auction you are choosing for the ‘Buy It Now’ Feature.
- A member of Bid-Bob.com will call you to complete the transaction, or you will be sent an invoice to pay for the auction item.
- Once the item has been paid for, you will receive ½ the bids you spent on that auction back in your account and the item will be on its way to you within 1-5 Days!!
