The document introduces a Competitive Shopping Marketplace that allows consumers to bid against each other using pre-purchased bids to win auction items at discounts of up to 95% off retail prices. It works by having consumers compete in auctions using $1 bids, with the winner able to purchase the item at a steep discount. This generates revenue from bids while offering discounts, increasing sales and profits for merchants. The marketplace benefits consumers by providing entertainment and steep deals, while benefiting merchants through increased revenue and sales.

9. Competitive Shopping Quick Facts
• Bids cost $1 each
• Each bid increments the auction price by $0.01 (a penny)
• Each bid resets the auction clock to the 10 second mark
• There is one winner per Competitive Shopping round
• Every Competitive Shopping round offers a Buy It Now option
• The Buy It Now price is the retail price minus the total value of spent
bids.

10. Competitive Shopping Example
A $25.00 Amazon gift card sold for only $2.50 in a recent Competitive Shopping round.
The winner was able to purchase the gift card at a substantial discount of 90% off the
retail price.
$ 2.50 (Competitive Shopping Price)
$ 25.00 ( Retail Price)
In total, there were 250 bids. With each bid costing $1, plus the final value price of $2.50
the Competitive Shopping round generated $252.50 in gross revenue.
The net profits earned in this Competitive Shopping round was $252.50 - $25 = $227.5
Because the Buy It Now option allows a user to apply the total value of their spent bids to the Buy It Now price, net profits may be lower
depending on how many users elect to use the Buy It Now option.
