Business Wire
InfoSpace.com (NASDAQ:INSP), a leading developer of metasearch
products, today announced the launch of Haggle (www.haggle.com), a
competitive shopping site that offers Internet users a chance to
bid for great deals on new brand-name electronics, gift cards and
more.
“In the past year, InfoSpace has been adding to its portfolio of
owned and operated properties, and Haggle.com is another example of
our commitment to grow revenue by launching new sites targeted at
niche markets,” said John Rodkin, general manager of search for
InfoSpace. “With Haggle, we’re able to expand our reach and offer
consumers an innovative online shopping experience.”
Haggle provides Internet consumers with an opportunity to bid
for great deals on top-of-the-line products through a secure site,
while participating in an exciting online experience. Haggle's
clean design and clear functionality makes the site easy to
navigate, allowing bidders to be more engaged in hassle-free online
shopping.
During its 2-month beta period, Haggle.com members were able to
bid and buy new brand-name electronics at a fraction of the retail
price, with discounts as much as 99 percent. The items placed for
bid on Haggle include brand name electronics, appliances, high-end
handbags, gift cards and much more.
How it works:
Haggle members participate in auctions by purchasing bids on
Haggle’s safe and secure Web site, and then use those bids to
compete with other users for amazing deals. Each bid placed
increases the price of the item and the amount of time remaining to
bid. The member who places the last and highest bid before the time
ends on the item’s auction clock is declared the winner, giving the
winning bidder the option to purchase the product at the bid price,
which is frequently at a large discount off of the usual retail
price. Membership is free, and member registration is available now
at Haggle.com.
