If you\u2019re searching the web for a good deal on the latest technology then you may have come across a reverse auction website.<\/p>\n

Unlike eBay, a reverse auction is won by the person with the lowest unique bid, but this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you\u2019ll be getting the best deal.<\/p>\n

Sure the winning bid on an iPad 2 may have been under a dollar, but the website easily makes a profit on the auciton by charging users for each bid.<\/p>\n

Membership to these Reverse Auction sites is usually free and but bids can cost up to a few dollars each…which means if you don\u2019t win, you\u2019ve simply helped to fund the auction.<\/p>\n
