Although computer technology is advancing fast and prices are getting lower, it's still hard to find good deals on laptops. The best the average consumer can do is get a 10% discount, or free shipping from Best Buy or Amazon. What most people don't know is there's a new phenomenon spreading across the internet, called penny auctions. These auctions let consumers get valuable products at up to 95% off retail prices. And the number one prize category on these sites is electronics.

BigDeal, a newer penny auction website, has recently re-designed their website to better cater to visitors and customers. BigDeal offers a few attractive features, like their "Loyalty Bucks" program, the "BigDeal Guarantee", and $0.75 bids.
