How low can you let the price go? That is the question buyers must ask themselves when shopping on iBuySell, as they try to score the greatest savings.
Your typical auction works with bidding driving prices up. iBuySell flips the script, offering items at a discounted price that continues to drop until someone chooses to freeze – or buy – a sale item. Others who were hoping that the price would drop lower before pulling the trigger are out of luck.
iBuySell is a peer-to-peer marketplace that hosts real-time sales, that aims to inject the online shopping experience with both great deals and excitement. Buyers can also browse by category and find discounted items ranging from fashion to handbags, designer jewelry to home goods and tech. Discounts can reach as high as 80% off retail price.
The big star of the show, however, is the live selling. Sellers name the actual price of an item, the discounted price she is willing to begin selling at, and the lowest price he will accept. Live sales last 90 seconds, the price dropping from the discounted price until someone clicks freeze first.
iBuySell provides sellers with an effective model for unloading items in a hurry. There’s no waiting around for auction dates, no tedious email exchanges that can drag on indefinitely. I’m thinking of a recent move, when I had a million things to do and didn’t want to bother with all the legwork involved with selling via eBay or Craigslist. I would have loved the simplicity of iBuySell, snapping a picture and selling within minutes – without hassles.
The marketplace works well for individuals and businesses. It’s a solid vehicle for turning inventory quickly and introducing a crowd to more discounted items in existing online e-commerce stores. Plus, the buyer/seller engagement is direct, charged with the rush that the live sale brings. In terms of customer engagement, iBuySell ranks high on the scale of entertaining.
It’s also worth mentioning that the platform is anything but a dumping ground for undesirable items. Shoppers will pleased to find a number of premium brand goods available at special offer and as part of the live sales.
So, if you’re looking for a fun and fast way to move inventory or you love making opportunistic, bargain purchases, download the mobile app (for iPhone or Android) or see what’s selling at the moment at ibuysellapp.com.
