BID AND EXPRESS YOUR LOVE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

Auction Site Offers Couple Items for Lovers

Petaling Jaya, 22 January 2013 - Consider this: Doesn’t fancy dinners, bouquets of flowers or boxes of chocolates sound clichéd for Valentine’s Day? Not to mention expensive and short lived.

So, how about trying something different for that special someone this Valentine?

As we progress into a highly tech savvy community, we find ourselves giving up roses and chocolates for iPhones and Tablets. These gadgets are highly useful, improve our quality of life and definitely make great gifts.

Sold.my celebrates love and the joy of being a couple by introducing carefully selected His & Hers couple items for up for auction from 4th – 14th February 2013. Items include pairs of matching InstaxMini8 cameras, iPod Shuffles and matching portable speakers.

A fresh take on online shopping, Sold.my offers pay-per-bid auctions which adds fun and strategy to the whole shopping experience. In these auctions, the starting price of the item is RM0.00. Each bid costs the user 1 Token (Tokens need to be pre-purchased) and will increase the bid price by as low as RM0.01* per bid. When the auction closes, the final bidder will have the item delivered to his/her home after paying the final bid price via online payment.

Apart from the special couple items, the popular site also offers a range of diverse gadgets and lifestyle products up for auction. All products on the site are brand new and sourced from reputable sources. Imagine what a great gift a brand new iPhone or branded handbag would be!

Even if you have a limited budget, Sold.my can still help you impress your sweetheart. On average, winning bidders can enjoy huge saving of between 60-80% off retail prices.

Take for instance, the bidder who won a new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for RM 3.74 and another who won a 16GB Apple iPad with Retina Display for only RM 1.91! These insanely low prices could never be matched at a department store.

“We chose to offer products that are useful and could be kept by your side almost all the time. Couple items are a good way to show your love to each other, symbolically saying you are my other half..” said Sold.my co-founder, Tian Qiuyan.

For new users, the site offers detailed guides for new bidders and also various types of auctions to suit different skill levels and preferences; Free Auctions, Beginner’s Auctions, *1 Sen Auctions, 5 Sen Auctions, Manual Auctions, Normal Auctions and Blind Auctions.

The auto-bid option is available for those who need to go about their everyday chores and cannot sit in to bid.  Simply set your bid limits and the intelligent auto-bidder will do the work for you.

“At Sold.my, we offer a slightly different shopping experience with the same ultimate goal – to purchase what you like. There is strategy involved when it comes to bidding, and our customers love that element of a challenge.” shared Qiuyan.

“While this method of bid-and-buy shopping attracts mostly male bidders, we also find that more and more women are starting to warm up to the idea as well. We hope that the couple items will attract more women to try us out, and who knows, it could be the start of a new shopping relationship,” she added.
