Reverse Online Auction Shopping

When we hear the word "auction", it always comes in to our mind that the highest bidder gets the item that is being auctioned. Yes, that is absolutely correct. But have you heard of the lowest bidder getting the item? If not, well let me share this reverse online auction shopping that I saw a few weeks ago.

I get to visit this website last week and was thinking why it was called Stardibs.com, if it was about auctioning items, then why name the site that way? When I browsed through the items being auctioned, they were pre-loved items from Filipino celebrities or stars. Then where they got the word "dib"? Remember the word "bid", they had it reversed too!

I was also wondering why they have to do it the other way around. They had created this site for celebrity fanatics to get a chance to purchase an item or memorabilia of their favorite celebrity on a lower price. So, instead of the highest bidder wins, it's now the lowest "dibber" wins! Yes, in this case, the person who bids for the item is called the "dibber". Imagine a dress worth 2000.00PHP but you can get it for only 300.00PHP? Aside from you have saved a lot of money, the dress was previously owned by your favorite star.

Celebrity Marian Rivera had her dresses from Karimadon being auctioned at Stardibs.com.
Stardibs had a partnership with some Filipino celebrities, and they get the items directly from them and are provided with a Certificate of Provenance, a signed document that proves that the said item being auctioned is owned by the said celebrity.

So, what are you waiting for? Be a dibber and start dibbing for your selected pre-loved celebirty items!
