Unbelievable. What business models people think of. Limbo is a mutant bidding site that has been around since October 2005. It’s a game where you compete against other (real, live) players to find and retain the lowest, unique bid. If your bid is the lowest and unique (no one else has submitted the same) then you win! Keep in mind that if someone else puts in the same bid, then yours is no longer unique. And the game moves to another, higher unique number. Don’t think of overloading the bids by submitting all numbers because there is a daily limit of 20 bids per person.
Damn.. somebody actually won a Mini Cooper for $50.43! So you are thinking “How can they give away those prizes for nothing?”. Seems like the guys at Limbo have created partnerships with big companies who give away stuff in sweepstakes all the time. Limbo provides these big companies to still throw away their ‘prizes’ but get a heck lot more eyeballs and action in their target customer age (18 to 35 year-olds).
I was so intrigued by it, I signed up. Haven’t played much, but I can tell right now that it is addictive. I’ll update this post when I find out more (or win
).
