Starting today BidCactus.com is offering buy-it-now in many of their penny auctions. Awhile back we told you about how BigDeal´s buy-it-now patent was transferred over to BidCactus.

Here´s how BidCactus´ buy it buy it now works: 

Buy It allows  bidders to purchase an auction item if you don´t win the auction. The Buy It cost begins at the retail price of the item, and each bid you place on the auction reduces the price by $0.07, and some auctions will have a cap on the value of bids that can be applied.

¨Example: You’re bidding on a $100 item, and the cap on the value of bids that can be applied toward Buy It is 50% of the retail price. If you spent 20 bids (valued at $15), your Buy It price would be $85. If you spent 67 bids or more, your savings would be capped at $50 (50% of the item’s retail cost), and you could purchase the item for $50. If Buy It does not have a cap, all of your bids will be applied and your Buy It price could potentially go down to $0.¨

If you bid on BidCactus and choose to exercise Buy It you must do so within 60 minutes after the auction has ended.
