What is blitzpenny?

Welcome to blitzpenny, the home of exciting, fast-paced auctions on the internet. Every day we sell brand new top-name products at incredibly low prices in auctions. Here's how it works: To get started, you need to buy some bids. Bids cost 65 cents each and are sold in packs of 20,30,40 50, 100, 250 or 500. Bidders have the choice of placing single bids, or, using an electronic bid assistant called the "BidButler". Alternatively, you can bid via the phone. Each bid placed increases the price of the product by 2cents and the auction countdown by up to 20 seconds. To help keep track of the money spent on bidding, each auction displays the amount spent on bids by the customer and how much the bidder would save overall, if they were to win the auction at that moment. The "last bidder standing" when the countdown reaches zero, wins the auction - usually at a very low price. Winners save, on average, 65% when compared to the recommended retail price. Even if you don't win the auction, you never have to leave blitzpenny empty handed. Any time after you've placed your first bid in an auction, you can choose to buy the product for a discount, getting back the cost of the bids you placed in that auction. You'll never have to pay more than the Worth Up To price for any products on blitzpenny. The auction will continue as usual, so other bidders can battle it out.
