Dave Duncan from Orlando Florida places the lowest Unique Bid on DubLi’s auction portal and drives off with a brand new 2009 Mercedes C-300!

Well, it was actually a mystery auction!  The Auto Surprise!

No one knew whether it would be a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes. 

DubLi’s Luxury Mercedes C-300 On Unique Bid Gets a New Home

Do you remember when DubLi announced they were auctioning off a brand new European luxury vehicle in Unique Bid, but when it appeared on the website they purposely draped the vehicle from head to toe so no one would know which European luxury model vehicle would be auctioned off? It would remain a secret with DubLi until the auction concluded. It kept everyone guessing as to what the vehicle would be which only heightened the suspense throughout the entire auction.

As the final hours ticked down towards the conclusion of Unique Bid Auction, the bidding accelerated at a frenzied pace as eager customers placed their final unique bids spending those DubLi credits; dreaming of capturing the big prize.

When the final seconds ticked down to zero indicating the conclusion of the auction, one person would emerge victorious with the lowest and unique bid and would ultimately drive off as the proud owner of a brand new 2009 Mercedes C-300 Sports Sedan.

Dave Duncan from Orlando Florida whose bid of $8050 would ultimately be the lowest and unique bid placed at the conclusion of the auction is the lucky recipient of a brand new 2009 Mercedes Pearl White C-300 sports sedan.

Rik McCoy, the Director of Marketing for DubLi went directly to Orlando in order to personally hand over the keys to Dave and at the same time make it possible to capture the moment on film and video for DubLi associates around the world to see.

The following is Rik’s description of the event as published in DubLi’s July 28th Newsletter.

 When Dave was informed by DubLi that his bid was the lowest and unique for the Mercedes he was delirious with excitement, as he retold me the story and although he had made several purchases through DubLi’s Express Auction in the past, nothing could prepare him for the biggest prize he was about to receive from DubLi. What’s amusing about Dave’s story is that his girlfriend and best friend didn’t believe him when he first told them the news; in fact they thought he was trying to play a practical joke, but gradually he was able to convince them by showing the actual email he had received from DubLi, but still they remained skeptical; supportive but skeptical.

When I arrived at the dealership in Orlando, there stood a brand new Mercedes C-300 Sports Sedan with a fabulous pearl white exterior paint job, chrome wheels, sun roof and luxurious charcoal leather interior. It even had a full tank of gas…every last detail had been carefully looked after. I couldn’t wait to see the look on Dave’s face when he would actually see his new car for the first time. I was so thrilled to be a part of this incredible event and impressed how DubLi had spared no expense for this amazing car. The company even paid the taxes and registration so Dave’s only out of pocket expense was the cost of the bid itself. If you pressed me to come up with a single word describing DubLi and the attention to detail that went into creating this event, it would be… CLASS. Need I say more?

I distinctly recall Dave driving up to the dealership in an old pick up truck with his best friend and girlfriend at his side and watching him frantically waving his arms out of the truck as he pulled into the parking lot obviously seeing his new car for the first time and the crowd of people who had gathered to see what was going on.

The smile on his face and the sparkle in his eyes said it all, while his girlfriend and best friend looked numb as if the reality of the moment hadn’t set in yet. “You see, you see, I told you, I told you” is all Dave could manage to say as he ran a complete circle around the car stopping to hug the hood of his new car and then carefully looking over every inch of his remarkable prize from bumper to bumper as if to soak in every second from this special moment, knowing he would remember this day for the rest of his life. I couldn’t be happier for Dave because he is a person who is truly passionate about the DubLi business model which made the event even more special because it was genuine.

If there is such a thing as THE Perfect Customer, it would have to be Dave Duncan, and it was an honor in every sense of the word for me to hand over the keys to this special person who was truly appreciative in every sense of the word.

The next 90 minutes went by so fast it was like a blur as pictures and video captured the entire moment in film for all to see. In the end, it was a time we will all remember well and the memories of this event will remain fresh in our minds for years to come, and then it was time for us to bid our farewells.

Dave shook everyone’s hand for the 50th time, thanked DubLi for his beautiful car at least 1,000 times, and then got into his new Mercedes complete with a DubLi license plate. Next he started up the car for the first time put it into gear and slowly pulled out of the dealership with his girlfriend comfortably seated next to him in the passenger’s seat now firmly convinced by the reality that Dave indeed had placed the lowest and unique bid. We all stood waving to Dave and then he stopped for a moment to acknowledge everyone involved and gave us one long final wave goodbye, and then he quietly sped away, ending one of DubLi’s truly great moments in the history of our innovative Unique Bid auction.

Good luck Dave and enjoy your Mercedes!

Summertime Auctions Heat Up!

The Harley-Davidson, with a value of $25,000 was won by Peter Riggio for a price of $4, 700.   As it happens, Peter is a DubLi Business Associate. 

Here is a recent statement made by Peter.  Read on and you will see that Peter has frequently won products in the Dubli Reverse Auctions.  This is an interesting case study and Peter documents his winnings.

Peter Riggio Wins $25,000 Harley On Dubli For $4,700

July 19th, 2009

Hello, my name is Peter Riggio and I have something to tell you that I am very excited about, in fact my whole family and friends are excited about. A few months back I was introduced to an entirely new way of thinking, in terms of the way I would purchase products. A friend of mine introduced me to the concept of Reverse Auctions. I have to tell you that when I first heard how they worked I thought, “What a cool idea,” but some of the folks I showed it to didn’t get it. In fact they told me it was a scam! Well, those same people today are Eating Their Words. Not only is it not a scam, but for the first time ever, a person has the ability to purchase products at ridiculous prices and have control over what they are willing to pay. If you think what I’m telling you is too good to be true, then I’ve got a surprise for you.

Here is what I have won in the last months, brand new and shipped to my door. You can go to the site and look at the “completed auctions” for proof that I have indeed won these items.

By the way, those same friends that thought it was a scam are now listed Winners!

A few days ago I won one of the biggest prizes ever given away on Dubli. On the Unique Bid Auction I won $25,000 Brand New 2009, Harley Davidson for $4,700!

I have listed other items that I have won to show not only the value of the site but to give my personal opinion that Dubli is a great place to save money and have fun doing it!

I could list many of my friends that are now winning products off the site, but because I want to keep it personal I won’t. I hope those who find value in the site continue to use it. And for those who don’t use the site I urge you to take another look, not from a business perspective but for the pure saving that this site offers people during our rough economy.

DubLi, DubLi, DubLi!  What’s in a name? When comes the fame?
How Fast or how slow?  How will it grow? 

Timing is everything.  Today, looking back with hindsight, if you had had a chance to share in the wealth that was to become eBay, or partner with those bright kids from Stanford, when Google was born, or even to join Jeff Bezos when Amazon emerged, wouldn’t you say yes?  Now, with that hindsight, you can say yes, because you see what they became (even though Amazon took years to turn a profit.)  

Well now if you look at DubLi today you don’t need hindsight, you just need foresight. 

The foresight to see that DubLi’s goal of becoming the world’s largest shopping portal is a realistic one.  It is based on sound planning and a brilliant, hybrid business model.  It’s history in Europe provides evidence of the profitability of the business model.  But more important for those of us who seek a business opportunity that really has an exit plan with a true residual income, this is a realistic goal for a DubLi Business Associate.  In those other companies which we just mentioned, there was not a part of the plan which allowed Associates to help develop a customer base, and share in the current and future viral growth potential.  But at this juncture, with DubLi, this is possible because we are ahead of the wave and part of a major trend.  As the brick and mortar shopping malls are struggling amidst a major global downturn, the internet sales have escalated during the same time period.

The Fun Shopping at DubLi.com provides both bargains and entertainment shopping, with a competitive edge, as customers vie for products at great prices.  They spend 80 cents to see the price, and that causes the price to fall further.  So the actual decision as to when to purchase in the Xpress DubLi reverse auction platform is also an important matter of timing.   In the Zer0 and the Unique Auction formats, there are other choices and strategies with more of a game-playing attitude.  Different people will have different preferences. 

In the DubLi Business Model, once customers are on the DubLi site, they become aware of the fact that there is a second tab, for Shopping, which gives entrance to the enormous, online DubLi Shopping Mall.  This is the place where a much more extensive shopping experience can be had.  Customers can shop at over 1,000 major retail merchants, but receive discounts beyond those which would be received by shopping directly on the site, without the free DubLi membership.  This, then, is a Rewards Mall, and soon customers will see the savings advantage of being a member and even receiving “free auction credits” based on their purchases.  So they can spend these credits back at the Fun Shopping reverse auctions.

So then, DubLi is not just an Auction site, it has grown to an enlarged online Shopping Mall.  But this is just the beginning.  Michael Hanson, the DubLi Founder, has indicated that we have only about 20% of the total business plan.  Big announcements are expected in the first part of August.  More will be revealed.  So stay tuned.

The long awaited business tool, the CINCH and its companion, CONNECT have finally arrived on the scene after a period of beta testing. 

Eager DubLi Business Associates have been getting updates on the expected debut of the software programs.  The first of many, many trainings on the software was conducted on July 17 by Scott Davis of Lariat Software. 

DubLi  Associates were introduced to the capabilities of the current tool set.  It is now available for download.   The CINCH functions as a desktop tool and is free for DubLi Associates, and there is a free version for customers as well.   The CONNECT extends the communications capabilities and is available for about $15.00 monthly. 

CINCH

It’s a now a CINCH to send credits!  Here’s how…
The Business Associate gets a CINCH on their Desktop with one-click access to key business tools, like “Send Credits”.  It also logs you in automatically to your Back Office and the Auction site.

You can sort your contacts by type such as “Customer Prospects” and add them to the recipients list to receive credits.  Then just write a message and specify the credit amount to send.  As soon as you Click “Send Message” the credits are sent!

Customers and Credits:

This also makes it easier for Customers to Spend their credits…
The Customer receives your email and opens it, then clicks on the link to install a CINCH and receive the credits.
Then the Customer agrees to terms, enters a username and password and the download begins.
The Customer gets a CINCH on their desktop with one-click access to Auctions and Tell-a-Friend

Videos

CINCH will eventually play a welcome video upon installation to introduce the customer to the auctions and CINCH.
One-click gets the customer to the auctions and logs them in automatically.

CONNECT 

CONNECT connects BA’s to all of their downline BA CINCH’s and 1st generation customer CINCH’s.

Connect includes tools to instantly communicate with your downline BA’s with “Send Message”.
Simply select recipients (like “Send Credits”) and then type up a message to send, such as a Webinar invite, then send.
Recipients instantly receive your message via CINCH (and email if they don’t have a CINCH).
There’s also a Web Presentation tool which allows you to deliver PowerPoint presentations via the Web – no software download required!
Add your conference call information (from FreeConferenceCall.com, etc.), select recipients and send of the invite!
At the appropriate time, deliver your presentation via the web.  See who’s online (and who isn’t), read scripted notes slide-by-slide, even switch presentations on the fly.
Send videos via email and let the experts do the talking for you!
Select your videos to send, add recipients and type a message – that’s it!

Landing Pages

Lariat has partnered with Ad2Action.com to provide professionally developed landing pages to help you get your customers into the registration process.  These pages are customizable and pass your customer prospects directly to the CINCH installation and registration page.

Future Functions:

Convenience functions, like tracking your favorite current auction items, and a mobile iPhone version of the CINCH are in development for release later in the year.

These two software programs will greatly enhance the communications capabilities for all DubLi Business Associates.  Since it is a major function of the BA’s to distribute free DubLi auction credits, and to provide information to potential associates and customers, then the convenience and automation provided by CINCH and CONNECT can maximize the effectiveness of these activities.  Therefore, the DubLi Business Opportunity has even greater income potential because of the addition of these tools.
