the web auction site with a difference

A new internet auction site, bluecycle.com, is opening up a secret world of high quality goods at bargain prices. A huge range of items, previously accessible only to a small number of people in the know, will soon be available to UK internet shoppers nationwide, bidding from their own homes.

bluecycle.com is offering bargain hunters unique access to a wide variety of end of line retail goods and specialist collectors items, plus goods recovered by organisations such as insurance companies and police forces. Few people have known about these bargains, let alone how, when or where to bid for them. Now, anyone with access to the Internet can see exactly what is on offer, make a bid and, if they are successful, have their purchase delivered to their door.

By using the power of the Internet to make direct connections between buyers and sellers, bluecycle.com will offer users great value prices. Bargain items available on the site include; brand new washing machines with a starting price of £100, second hand cars from one-third of the forecourt price, cameras that retail at £299 starting at £120.

Also available on the site will be a wide range of bicycles, including the following:

Iron Horse Victory 58cm 18 speed racing bike starting at £750, a Fatboy 415 Pro black BMX with a starting price of £200, Stumpjumpers starting at £500, Rockhoppers starting at £225 and an Iron Horse 27 speed front suspension mountain bike with a starting price of £800.

bluecycle.com is wholly owned by CGU, one of the UKs leading insurance companies. In addition to placing its own salvage items on the site, CGUs involvement will enable bluecycle.com to provide buyers and sellers with real security and a hassle free shopping experience in this virtual warehouse. Safe payment and secure delivery are uniquely assured, by CGU, for all goods sold on the site.

In the tradition of CGU, a lead sponsor of National Neighbourhood Watch, bluecycle.com is also e-commerce with an e-conscience: Every sale on the site will help to bring the benefits of the new economy into the reach of all, by fighting social exclusion and crime. bluecycle.com will forego 1% of the value of all transactions on the site and donate it to an independent Trust Fund dedicated to reconnecting marginalised citizens, and particularly young people, with the mainstream of society and economic life. This will make our communities better, safer places to live.

NOTE FOR EDITORS

Many of the items on the site are traditionally sold at auctions. Very few people know that these auctions exist and those who are in the know are making a killing because these goods are sold for a fraction of their real value, often to be sold on again to members of the public with a large mark up. These auctions are not always advertised, even when they are they can be difficult to find and we know that many people find the atmosphere intimidating. Goods are often sold in bulk or in other ways which discourage individual purchasers.
