system follows the process of a tradition property auction with the exception that there is no minimum or reserve price. Unlike many other online auctions, iBidcondo does not charge bidders for each bid. To cover the retail price of the property being auctioned, iBidcondo sells a limited number of virtual auction seats at an average of $100 per seat. With the need for a minimum price now removed, it is left to the bidders to determine the auction price of the property. This innovative process also permits the net proceeds (estimated around 80%)to be donated to a registered charity of the highest bidder’s choice. iBidcondo’s first auction has prompted a global response from countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With the ease of internet access, anyone from around the world can participate in this exciting live online auction. iBidcondo has also amassed a great following and legion of fans on popular online social networking communities including Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Founder of iBidcondo, Eugene Marchese has seen an immense response from the property virgin market. “iBidcondo is presenting a major opportunity to those consumers who are just starting out in the real estate market” Eugene explains. “With a chance to bid on a home that they would normally need to save for years to afford, young professionals and newlyweds are jumping at the chance to bid on their dream home for what we believe will be a bargain price.”
