Welcome to Melbourne Bargains, a business unit of Australian Bargains Pty Ltd. We are a classified advertisment and auction site based in Brisbane, Australia.
You need to be a registered user to list items for sale or to buy items. Registration is FREE and only takes a minute!
Australian residents can place (list) items in either a classified advertisment format (just like the classified pages section of your local newspaper) or via an online auction process where buyers place bids against other parties.
Online classified ads and auctions are no different from ads you see in newspapers and magazines or auctions you go to. Someone has something to sell and they want people to know about it. So they post a classified or auction ad where more people would see it.
In the classified advertisement format your listing is just like an ad in the newspaper. At Melbourne Bargains you also have the ability to enter up to 4 FREE photos and 4000 characters of text to describe the item you wish to sell.
As a seller our free features allow you to print some
signs and flyers to put on notice boards and in letter boxes so more people will be attracted to your advertisement.
In the auction format you have all the features of the classified ad format plus the auction function. For example, if you were listing a rare book, by listing this book in the auction format you are inviting buyers to compete with each (by bidding just like at a live auction) for the book.
You can set a minimum starting price for bidding. This means that bidders must offer a price above the starting price to have any success of becoming the winning bidder.
You can also set a reserve price for the book.
You can set a BuyNow price where you are inviting buyers to purchase immediately at this price set by you. Obviously your buy now price will be above your reserve price.
Members then bid on the book. We notify bidders when they are outbid. This allows them to offer additional higher bidding.
If the auction closes above reserve, we'll email you and the highest bidder each other's details. You then contact them to arrange payment and delivery.
It's easy! You only need to register at Melbourne Bargains for FREE and post your ad in an appropriate category.
But that's not all! If you want your ad to get extra attention you may upgrade it by making it a Hot Classified, adding an Attention Getter, bolding or better placement. Top
