BidBrat.com, an entertainment/style shopping website, is re-opening today under new ownership. As a special promotion, BidBrat.com will be sending a lucky winner and friend to a one-week stay at the Leina'ala Oceanfront resort located on the south side of Maui. To kick-off the re-opening, any existing or new member that registers and purchases a bid-pack from December 20, 2011, to February 28, 2012, will automatically be entered to win a seven-night stay on Maui.
Online shoppers have been flocking to penny auction websites to scoop up great deals on some of the most sought-after products such as: electronics, gift cards, video games, antiques, and collectibles. Who wouldn't want to win a brand-new iPad 2, laptop, Xbox, Kindle, or high-definition TV for a fraction of the retail cost?
What sets BidBrat.com apart from other penny auction sites is that BidBrat.com will be offering auctions to popular travel destinations and sporting events in addition to the items traditionally found on auction sites. 'I'm a huge sports fan and love to travel. I thought sports, travel, and entertainment/style shopping would work well together,' said J.B. Brock, President of BidBrat.com.
BidBrat's President stated he is excited about the current promotion to send a lucky winner and friend to Hawaii. This will be the second time BidBrat.com has sent someone to Hawaii. And the winner again will not be disappointed because this area of Maui is beautiful and offers many recreational opportunities: swimming, tennis, fishing, windsurfing, beachcombing and seasonal whale watching. You can stay busy with all the activities paradise has to offer, or simply relax and take in yet another spectacular Maui sunset.
And if that was not enough, BidBrat.com plans to offer travel packages to big sporting events in the near future. Brock said, 'I'm really excited about us putting together a March Mayhem Madness travel package for basketball fans. I know there are some college basketball fans that would enjoy seeing their team play in the men's or women's championships to take place in New Orleans and Denver.' Not to leave out the football fans, BidBrat.com looks to send two lucky winners to the 'Big Game' in New Orleans on February 3, 2013. 'Maybe my favorite team, the Cowboys, can compete with the Packers by then,' said Brock.
Brock was asked if electronics are the most popular items on BidBrat.com. 'Yes, electronics are always popular. Video games like MW3 and Battlefield 3 are extremely popular right now. However, one of our most popular items is the 'Dinner and a Movie' in the entertainment category where the winning bidders can acquire a movie and restaurant gift card valued at $50.' Just think - you can take your sweetheart out on a date for just a few dollars.
BidBrat.com offers a variety of auction types to choose from: 'Regular Auctions,' 'Last Bid Wins,' and 'Name Your Own Price.' Random 'no bid token' auctions will also be offered where it does not cost the user bids to participate. A 'buy it now' format will also be available on certain items for a more traditional format similar to eBay. Another ongoing promotion is you can receive five free bids if you 'Like Us' on Facebook and answer one of the questions on the Facebook page at Facebook.com/BidBrat and then subsequently post it on your profile. After you make your post, email us at comments@BidBrat.com.
