  HOW IT WORKS
 
 
Bidding on a BidMadness auction couldn’t be easier!
Just follow 3 basic steps and you will be on your way to successful bidding.
  1. Register your details to become a Member (or as we say, a BidManiac).
  2. Select a product and enter an amount you think will be the Highest Unique Bid without bidding more than the listed Maximum Bid Amount.
  3. Click on the "Bid Now" button to submit your bid. When you confirm your bid an Admin Fee is charged and is payable at this point.

That’s it! We told you it was easy.
 
For a more detailed description of the bidding process please continue reading below.
For a description of the various auction types and variables, read this page.
 

How Does BidMadness Work?

BidMadness online auctions offer you Genuine Brand New and Guaranteed Bargains at a fraction of their retail price. All items available at auction will be sold to the Bidder who submits the Highest Unique Bid which is below the listed Maximum Bid Amount!

A summary of the bidding process is outlined below:

  1. Register as a member
    You must be a registered member of BidMadness to participate in the auctions. There are no joining fees. It’s totally free to join! Registration is important as it enables us to contact you if you are the winner of an item. It also protects the integrity of the auctions against fraudulent activity.



  2. Select your item of interest
    You are able to view the range of products on auction by clicking on the links in the Product Category box. Once you have chosen an item that interests you, click its "More Product Info" link to read a full description of the item and view larger images.
     
     
  3. Enter your Bid Amount ensuring it's no higher than the Maximum Bid Amount
    When you are ready to bid click on the green "Bid Now" button. Enter your Bid Amount in the "My Bid" field ensuring it is not more than the listed Maximum Bid Amount.

    You can bid as many times as you like. There are no restrictions on how many bids you can make on any auction unless the auction states that it has a bid limit.

     
  4. Click the "Bid Now" button again



  5. Confirm your bidding details and charges
    A Bid Confirmation page will now show you a summary of your bidding actions and charges. It will include the following details:
    * Auction Name and Number
    * Your Bid Amount
    * Admin Fee charged for the bid (where applicable)
    * The number of times you have bid for the item
    * The discount applied to the Admin Fee (where applicable)

    If you are happy with the details presented, click "Confirm Bid". If you are not sure of your bid you can click "Cancel Bid" and be taken back to the main page for review.

    Once you confirm your bid the listed Admin Fee for your bid will be charged to your account. If your "Money Box" does not have enough funds you will be asked to buy extra credit.

    Note: During the bidding process you are only charged the Admin Fee for each bid. The final Winning Highest Unique Bid amount is only charged to your account if you are the Winning Bidder at the close of the auction.

  6. Bid Status
    The screen will refresh and update your account details and you will be given a clue and shown whether your bid was Unique, Not Unique or the Highest Unique Bid.
    The clues we provide will let you know how close to the Highest Unique Bid (HUB) you are. Use these clues as part of your startegy to determine your next bid.

    If you have enough bids remaining you can bid again...and again...and again!

    A summary of all your bidding on an item will appear at the bottom of your screen and all your account, bidding and transaction information is shown to the right of screen in the "My Account" box.



  7. The Bidding Clues
    BidMadness is the only Unique Bid Auction Site that gives you clues to help you find the Highest Unique Bid (HUB). It's sort of like a game of "Cold and Hot". The closer you get to the HUB, the better the clue.

  8. Highest Unique Bid Wins!
    If your bid is the Highest Unique Bid when the auction closes then you are the Winning Bidder and the Winning Bid Amount is charged to your account.
    BidMadness will deliver the product to you free of delivery charges (Free delivery applies to Australian customers only, unless specified).


    The Highest Unique Bid is the highest amount you think no one else will bid. It is not necessarily the highest amount but the highest unique amount.

    For example, an item may have a Maximum Bid Amount of $12.00 and two people may have bid $10.50 and your bid was $6.40. Even though $6.40 is lower than $10.50, your bid is the highest unique bid since two people had bid the same amount of $10.50.
This was a summary of the BidMadness auction process. Further details can be found in the HELP, FAQ's and Glossary pages.
