bidwey is the greatest entertainment shopping experience ever to come along. We are a collective Network Purchasing website. In a sense using crowd sourcing to pay for the items. Meaning that collectively through a network of people you can purchase an item. The process in which we operate determines who retains possession. In this case and unless otherwise noted, it is last-to-act.
The first step is to become a member. Memberships are free and each member must be logged in to bid on any item. Bids are $1.00 each and will be stored in the member’s account where they can be used to bid on items. A member can buy bids in prearranged bundles to suit your needs.
The process is simple. Each item has its own specific amount of bids required to purchase that item. The amount of bids that have been currently collected are hidden from view. A member must place one bid to see their current Line-of-Progression. Members will apply bids toward an item, one bid at a time. Each bid shows their current Line-of-Progression. Once all the bids are collected, the item is deemed sold. The member that applies the last bid is the winner.
Each time a member applies a bid to an item, that member will be given their current Line-of-progression for that item (e.g 4750 bids to Fill it up). If the bid was not last bid required, then the member will have the option to bid again. If a member applies another bid to an item that the member has previously bid on, that member will be then given the updated current Line-of-progression (e.g. 4749). Bids might not be consecutive due to other members also bidding on the same item. This process continues as members collectively apply bids to the same items. Every bid applied to an item reduces the remaining balance by one bid on that item.
Once the amount of bids required for an item reaches the bidwey reserve, a member has the option to Fill-it-up. By using this option the member will be responsible for applying the amount of bids remaining for that item. By doing so the
member has purchased the item for that amount.

Shill bidding is when the seller of an item has a third party bid on their item solely with the intent of driving the price up and not for the purpose of buying the product. Commonly seen at large auction and penny auction sites. At bidwey, shill bidding is useless since the price goes down with every bid applied.

Yes, by placing a bid on a few items or as many as you like, you can see which item is closest to the Fill it up or beyond. Once you find an item close to the Fill it up being active or close to being the Last to act, keep bidding on that item to try and win. After you bid on an item a few times, you can start to gauge how fast people are bidding on that item. Keep in mind that our history shows the closer to the end it is, the faster it will move.

Aside form being the best online entertainment shopping website in existence. The reality is that our operation gives a member the best opportunity to buy items at the lowest prices possible in our opinion. It also gives the member the opportunity to purchase an item that may otherwise not be in their budget.
No. You can only see your personal bidding information after a bid is made. We do not show other member’s bidding information to prevent collusion. If a member shares their Line-of-progression with another member, this information will actually work against them. Remember, the idea is to let a network of members apply bids to the lower the cost of the item.
When a member sees a pending banner over an item, that item is in the checkout process by another member. Should the member not be able to pay for the item for any reason, the banner will be lifted and bidding will resume where it left off. Upon approval of the purchase, the pending banner will be replaced by a sold banner. That item will then be replaced by new item for bidding.
If a member’s payment methods are declined, the member will forfeit the right to buy that item. The pending will be removed and the item will resume bidding where it left off.

Of course there is, heres what we suggest. Bid on a few items and see which one is closest to the Fill it up or closest to the last required bid. After you pick one, bid again and see how far your line of progression has moved. Based on that information, you can gauge how fast other members are bidding on that item. When the item hits the bidwey reserve use the Fill it up or try to be the last bidder, which ever you choose.
