In a move to test a new two-hour online auction concept, boocoo auctions has announced that from July 25 to July 31, users will have the opportunity to bid on seven of the most coveted electronic consumer items on the market.

The auctions will have no reserve price and bidding will start at $1. All proceeds from the auctions will go to the winner’s favorite 501c3 charity.

“At boocoo auctions we are always looking for innovative, fun, and meaningful ways to improve the auction experience,” said George Willard Sr. the CEO of Ranger Data Technologies Inc., parent company of boocoo auctions. “We feel it’s important to experiment with new platforms and programs to improve the opportunities for buyers and sellers. The “two hour auction” is another example of that type of innovation,” said Willard.

The items up for sale include an iPad, Xbox, iPhone, 32-inch television and music system.

On June 21, boocoo.com was launched nationally with nearly 300 media partners, including the Salisbury Post, competing against large national online auction and free classified sites. Partners continue to join the network. The inventory on the site continues to grow, and in the first three weeks after the launch, nearly 6,000 registered users have joined the site.

“With our large number of media partners, we will continue to test new ideas across a wide section of demographic and geographic territory,” said Willard.
