Get a Sony PlayStation 3 This Month

by Ingrid on February 28th, 2006

InformationWeek says that UniqueAuction.com will be auctioning off PlayStation 3’s in mid-March for less than 1% of the retail price. They will be auctioning off 10 of them and each auction will last one hour.

Unfortunately, “mid-March” isn’t very specific, but if I hear when, I’ll post about it. Unless this is all some big elaborate joke and the world is taking advantage of the fact that I’m home sick today and half-asleep.

But I think this is real.

At UniqueAuction.com you can bid on anything from an iPod to a trip to the moon for very little money ($5 and $100 respectively).

Roger Kim, a database programmer who lives in Seattle, became a member after discovering the site in December while scouring Web sites for Microsoft’s XBox 360 when they were nearly impossible to find. “The winning bid on one XBox I bought was $3.40, but it took about 60 bids at $1 each to win,” Kim said. “You lock down your bid. Then in the last few seconds, you try and cancel out the other bids higher then yours to become the highest unique bid.”

Hm… it’s kind of like an arcade game.

Anyway, if you’re itching to be one of the first people to get a PS3, UniqueAuction might be your solution. Good luck.

And if one of you wins it, I’m coming over to play.
