2. American-Style Auctions ALL PAY and NO RESERVE PRICE constitute the mechanism of our auctions, also known as American-style auctions. Registered members who wish to partake in our auctions pay a fix amount (average 1€) for each bid they place, regardless for the fact that they win the auction or not. Placed bids are nor refundable. On the other side, the price of the auctioned item starts at zero and increases of only 1 cent for each bid placed. This makes it possible to awarding the winners of the auctions expensive items for a very low price (usually 20-25% max. of the actual retail price). Yet, the mechanism generates profits.
3. Auctions Avenue Affiliate & Partner Program Auctions Avenue offers to website owners and to entrepreneurs not already active in an on-line business, the opportunity to retain internet traffic and visitors and to generate high revenues through new and exciting entertainment. As a general rule, eligible to Partners are small and medium size websites (evaluation is on case by case basis) whose interest is limited to that of placing our auctions banners and to diverting their viewers to our website. The driver, in this case, are the prospect revenues more than the traffic retention. Eligible to Affiliate, instead, are large websites whose primary interest is in stretching their on-line offer in view of retaining their clients and independent entrepreneurs who wish to engage themselves and deploy resources into fresh and profitable on-line business.
