CircusPop Launches Reveal Auction

CircusPop Dubli

California based CircusPop.com just went live yesterday, they’re currently in beta stage and plan to have a full launch next week.

What is CircusPop?

CircusPop is an entertainment shopping auction based on the Dutch Auction (price dropping) concept.

CircusPop is a Silicon Valley-based company founded by three Stanford Graduate School of Business alumni. The company is backed by an experienced board including a prominent Hollywood executive, the founder of an iconic retailer and a tech entrepreneur who took her company public on the NASDAQ.

If you’re familiar with DubLi’s Xpress auctions it looks like CircusPop is very similar.

DubLi’s Xpress Auctions:

  1. All items have concealed prices that are not revealed until you place a credit.
  2. With each credit placed the price decreases by $0.25.
  3. Once you place a credit the price is revealed and you have the option to buy the item for that price.
  4. Credits cost $0.80.

CircusPop’s Auctions:

  1. All items have concealed prices that are not revealed until you place a bid.
  2. With each bid placed the price decreases by $0.25.
  3. Once you place a bid the price is revealed and you have the option to buy the item for the shown price within 60 seconds.
  4. Bids cost $0.99 for 1 and $0.75  when you purchase bid packages called “Bid Buckets.”
  5. After items are sold another similar item is relisted and the price is reset to the starting price.
  6. CircusPop says that they stand behind their prices and will return any bids that don’t reveal the lowest prices. We’re not quite sure what CircusPop deems the lowest prices, but this is sounds like a nice gesture.
  7. Promotions: Each week random auctions will experience a “price plunge” and auction prices will fall between 50-100%  off.

    People don't expect to have to pay to "buy bids," none of those products are exclusive offerings, and there is a marketplace for gift cards with more traction.

    I wish them the best, but I see this appealing to a very small niche: auction-savvy, bargain junkie, lets-give-this-a-try-once types.
