New Patented business concept - need reviews please

    reviews and comments desired-new business concept-the reason----

    We noticed that everyone was struggling with rent, paying for gas, buying groceries, etc. In other words, prices for everything were going up and nobody's salary was going up to match the increased costs we all have to bear. We thought long and hard about how to make things financially easier for people and www.TheCheapestBid.com was born.

    some more info is here....http://www.squidoo.com/TheCheapestBid

    New patented Lowest Unique Bidder gets the auction prize- which is either a GAS CARD or VISA CASH CARD

    We have traffic- obviously not targeted because signups are few and far between as of today.

    Comments/review of the concept
    ideas how to target traffic
    conversion ideas?
    all comments are welcome

    thanks
    Mike

    This is a really good concept. I would comment on blogs related to the things being auctioned, press release and a news release at IMNEWSWATCH.com.

    Good concept, I've seen sites like it before, so it's not really new. uniqueauction.com is a similiar site.

    it's a neat design, but it's definately not new, and surely not patented ;)...

    yes the concept is patented by the US govt and cannot be copied...and its not like Unique Auction in that TheCheapestBid.com rewards the LOWEST unique bid...the other major difference is only GAS and Cash are being auctioned...things EVERYONE universally can use!

    i should say its patent pending it's in a conditional state with the patent office but we are covered

    i wanted to thank tylons and reessma1 for their comments...we will be doing as you suggested

    Well, the idea seems good at first glance, not sure that it would work on this side of the pond. one of your card images needs adjusting as it is a bit square, best of luck with it :cool:

    P.S.
