Do you know Stevie?

He’s a new friend of ours, one that we’re proud to introduce to you! You see, “Stevie” is the affectionate moniker for the trophy given out by the American Business Awards every year. Or, trophies, rather, as a host of different companies are awarded for exemplary business practice in 44 different categories. They are:

-App Awards

-Company/Organizational

-Customer Service

-Human Resources

-Intelligence & Technology

-Management

-Marketing

-New Product

-Public Relations

-Website

This year is the tenth annual installment of the Stevies and QuiBids (after finishing as a finalist for New Company of the Year for 2011) is up for the year’s Fastest-Growing Tech Company award for companies that employ up to 2,500 people! We couldn’t be more excited about it! Our site’s been live for a little less than three years at this point, so to be honored twice so early in our existence like this is — well, we feel a lot like another young Oklahoma City-based team that’s enjoying a lot of success in their early goings!

We’re in the running against seven other companies; five are California techs (Epicor Software Corporation, FireEye Inc., iolo technologies, Quality Systems Inc., and YouSendIt) and two are based on the east coast (C² Technologies Inc. and Verivo Software in Vienna, Virginia and Waltham, Massachusetts, respectively) so we definitely feel a bit like an underdog. The vast majority of tech companies start up out on the west coast, so it’s an honor and a privilege for us to get to represent the Midwest on the Stevies’ national stage!

Astute readers might notice that this isn’t the only distinction QuiBids recently garnered. Just last month we were named one of the 30 Best Places to Work in Oklahoma by okcBIZ magazine for the second consecutive year! Last year we finished fourth in the Small/Medium Companies category, so we really hope to improve on that showing at the Best Places awards banquet later this month!

Several of our executive officers also traveled to Tulsa to accept another award in April when Oklahoma City newspaper The Journal Record doled out their annual Innovator of the Year honors. The program was built to recognize trailblazing work by Oklahoma businesses, individuals, and non-profits alike, so you can imagine our excitement to be considered in such high esteem by our peers.

We won’t find out where we finished in the running for this year’s award until September 17 when the Gold, Silver, and Bronze honors are handed out at the new tech awards gala in San Francisco, so stay tuned to the QuiBids blog for the big announcement!

Product Spotlight: Portable iPod Boombox

Remember that time John Cusack rolled up the sleeves of his trench coat, hoisted a boom box over his head and won Ione Skye’s heart with a rock song?

We realize that we lost some of you with the word “boom box,” but that’s OK. All you need to know is that it’s a terribly romantic movie from the eighties, codified in the public consciousness as the film with the above-mentioned image of heartfelt teen drama. Behold the glory of Phil Collins.


This moment would’ve been impossible without the aid of that ‘80s antique. While it’s now unfortunately passé, the boom box had its moment — once upon a time it was an indelible image of cool. Don’t believe us? Check these out:

While we’re not going to try to revive this dated but awesome machine, QuiBids does sell a smaller type of boom box updated for the modern, iPod-wielding era. The Portable iPod Boombox comes with a remote and lately, we’ve been selling them for way cheap.

How cheap? Well, of the previous 33 auctions for these things, the percentage of savings has averaged up to an astounding 93%. In fact, more than half of the auctions for the Portable iPod Boombox end at $0.03 or less. These are the items we call “slam dunks” around the office.

Of the 33 auctions, the ending price ranges from $0.10 to $1.67. The $1.67 auction however, is something of an outlier, as the most expensive auction before it only ended at $0.23.

Nine of the 14 auctions with additional prizes (either a 1X Gameplay or an additional 20 Voucher Bids) ended at less than $0.10, which isn’t enough — in our professional opinion — to dissuade customers from bidding in Hybrid Auctions. Many do avoid these auctions, fearing that the increased prize will attract more bidders. But it’s certainly not always the case. Four of the remaining five Hybrid Auctions ended between $0.10 and $0.19, and the expensive outlier auction was the fifth. Excepting for the last one, all the Hybrid Auction winners walked away with 90+% savings.

Check out the graphic below for a little more insight into what prices auctions for the iPod Boombox were ending. Happy bidding!
