Falling Price Listings
These listings start at a higher price and automatically drop by a set amount on a set interval until they reach a minimum price. If you like the price you see, buy it before someone else does.
How Price Drops Work
- Price decreases by fixed increments (e.g., $X every Y seconds).
- Once the min price is reached, the listing remains at that price briefly and then ends.
- Add to Cart to lock the current price while you check out. We hold cart items while you’re active; after ~15 minutes of inactivity your cart releases.
- All pricing is verified server‑side at checkout to prevent stale pricing.
Tip: If you’re watching multiple items, add them to your watchlist to track prices and act at the right time.
Falling Price — FAQ
The amount and frequency of price drops are constant for each item, but not all item prices drop by the same amount or time interval as other items. For example, one item's price may drop by 5 cents every 15 seconds while another item's price may drop by 1 cent every 5 seconds.
You don’t. The minimum price and the exact timing are hidden, just like you can’t know if or when someone else might buy the item you're looking at. The only thing you’ll always see is the current price right now. Falling Price listings are about strategy — you can wait and hope the price keeps dropping, but someone else might grab it before it gets there.
If you try to add a Falling Price item to your cart and someone else has added it to their cart before you then you will see a notification that the item is no longer available. But don't give up, if the other shopper doesn't complete their purchase or they are inactive for 15 minutes that item will be returned to the site. Be sure to add it to your Watchlist so you can see if it becomes available again.
Yes. Adding an item to your cart locks the current price until you complete checkout.
As long as you are actively using the Bargain Reboot website, any Falling Price or Buy Now items you add to your cart will remain in your cart. Falling Price and Buy Now items will be removed from your cart if you are inactive for 15 minutes.
When the listing reaches its minimum price, it will remain on the site briefly and then end. Buy before it ends to secure the item.
Auctions
Our auctions start at $1, have $1 bid increments, and have no reserve price. We use proxy bidding: enter your maximum bid, and the system automatically bids for you just enough to keep you in the lead until your max is reached.
Key Rules
- An account with a verified email is required to bid. A verified phone number enables text notifications.
- Proxy bidding with $1 increments; no reserve price and no buyer’s premium.
- Anti‑sniping: if a bid is placed in the last 2 minutes, we reset the end time to 2 minutes so you have a fair chance to respond.
- Payment window: winners have 5 days to pay for their auctions.
- Scheduling Delivery: after payment, you have 7 days to schedule delivery.
- Sales tax applies to the final price of the auction. We do not charge a buyer’s premium.
- If you have unpaid auctions more than 7 days old, you will be restricted from bidding until your auctions are paid.
Note: Auctions you win are automatically added to your cart and cannot be removed. Delivery fees are not charged when the auction ends; they’re determined at checkout.
Auctions — FAQ
Enter the maximum price you want to pay for an item. We’ll bid for you in $1 increments only as needed to keep you in the lead, up to your maximum bid amount. If you’re outbid, you’ll be notified.
If a bid is placed in the last 2 minutes, the auction end time automatically resets to 2 minutes so you don't miss out on an item you want just because someone bid at the last second.
You have 5 days to pay for auction wins. If you have unpaid auction items in your cart more than 5 days, you will be unable to bid on other auctions until you complete checkout for your unpaid auctions.
When you win an auction it is automatically added to your cart. You do not have to pay for it right away - you can add Falling Price items, Buy Now items, and even bid on other auctions so you can qualify for free shipping.

Buy Now — FAQ
