Good Bye Tupperware Parties, Hello Dubli Auction Parties

I was at the Dubli launch in Sydney of the Australian shopping mall recently and Dean Mannheimer was the speaker. Dean Mannheimer is a Dubli USA Vice President and Master Franchisor. Dean gave a great overview of what the Dubli organization is now, what it is heading towards and the huge potential it has to diversify along the way. One thing that struck me was a You Tube video shown at the launch of a recent Dubli Auction Party held in the USA.What stuck me was how excited and engaged the participants were, they were having a real blast. In the video there was a group of about half a dozen Dubli Business Associates (BA's), who are people that have joined Dubli as a work from home business opportunity. They were all sitting around a table in one of their homes in front of their laptops and were all on-line and looking at the Dubli lowest unique bid auction website.What they were all trying to do was to secure the lowest unique bid on a brand new Ford Mustang GT valued at $32,000 US in the closing hours of the auction. To be successful in Dubli's Unique Bid auction your bid needs to be the lowest AND unique (two bids for the same amount mean that the bids are not unique) at the close of the auction. It appears that they were bidding on a range or group of prices each time rather than just a single bid. This enabled them to narrow down their search for the lowest and unique bid. The auction tells you straight after you place a bid if your bid is the lowest or not and if it is unique.Kourtney Swift secured herself the legendary sports car for only $855.50, which is equivalent to a discount of incredible 97%! So you can imagine the excitement at the party when the auction ended and Kourtney Swift realized that she had the lowest unique bid! When the auction closes you have the option of purchasing the item for the successful bid amount. The Champaign corks were certainly popping at the party.You may think that you have to be a Dubli BA to hold an auction party but the good news is you don't! Anyone (with a valid credit card) can purchase Dubli credits after registering for free (it takes only minutes to do this on-line) and then can use the "tell a friend" option on the Dubli website to advise their friends to do the same. You could then invite your friends to come over to your place and for them to bring their lap top computers with a portable wireless toggle so they can get onto the internet. You probably need to work out at the beginning of the party if you have a successful bidder at your party, are you all happy to collectively pay for the item and then to share the proceeds if the item is sold or are you happy for the one person to pay for and keep the item themselves. You want this sorted beforehand so not to have any confusion or animosity amongst your friends.I imagine that these parties could really catch on (and make a Tupperware Party seem pretty boring) especially as Dubli add a mix of enticing items to the unique bid auction. For example at the time of writing this article Dubli has on its unique bid auction two 24-Karat 10-Ounce Gold Bullion Bars available with a combined value of $22,500 US. You can check what the top items are on the lowest unique bid auction by going to the Dubli website and clicking on the unique bid tab then on the "Top Auctions" tab. If you search on You Tube for the "Dubli Party" I am confident you will find the video I saw recently that was the inspiration for this article.
