the tip of my tongue

[lauralh]

ok does anyone remember that site a few years back where you could bid on something at a low price, and if enough people agreed to pay that price, you could all buy it for that much?

Liquid Price? That was one like that, but I'm not sure it was the popular one.

doesn't seem to exist now, though.

[girlstyle.livejournal.com]

no, but it sounds like an excellent idea.

Damn I remember that ...now it's at the tip of my tongue too. Was it priceline in a previous incarnation?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

i don't think so, it sold primarily consumer goods

Yeah, I know what you're talking about, I just think that there was William Shattner mixed up in there some how.

argh.

none of those look familiar.

haha, myspace.

yeah! i got about $100 in amazon gift certificates from those original myspace guys when they would occasionally loose files of mine. of course they didn't give me the $10,000 in certificates i felt entitled to when they went out of business and deleted all my files with only three days notice. not exactly surprising though.

I believe that the bidding mechanism you are talking about is called a "reverse auction", or a "Dutch auction". You might simply try doing a websearch on either of those terms, and see if anything that pops up sounds familiar?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I did, but no luck... reverse auction isn't quite the term I want.

Sorry for the crappy group email, but I'm trying to get the word out as efficiently as possible. :)
