I was tipped off to a pretty nifty reverse auction game called Bid4Prizes. From what I gather, the premise is that you bid on an item and the lowest unique bid actually wins it. What you can win varies - free gifts like the iPhone or an HDTV, or cash prizes.

While bidding does take place on the items, it’s all for fun - you won’t actually pay the final price if you win the auction. You’ll win the sweepstake if you are the lowest unique bid, which is a bid that no one else has tried to enter. Say the price is up to $100. If you bid $101, no one else tries to bid that same amount and the auction ends, you win! It’s as simple as that.

I have yet to try this game out for myself, but if you have, let me know what it’s like! Leave a comment.
