Wabbit's Foot

I was looking up the etymology of the word "auction" this morning and stumbled on something called "reverse auction games". "Reverse" simply means that the item up for bidding goes to the person with the lowest unique bid, instead of the highest bidder. The operative word there is "unique". Check this out: say a 2007 Honda Civic is up for bidding and 3 people get in on the action. If Jack and Jill both bid 5,000; and Jim chucks in a measly 50 cents, Jim gets the car... and he doesn't even have to fork over his 50 cents.

The game's essentially an online sweepstakes. It's relatively easy to play and with how it's set up, it's like they're almost giving away free gifts and cash prizes. Yup, there's even cash up for bid.

Maybe it's time I got lucky.
