About PricePlay.com
PricePlay.com launched earlier this year, and is a unique mix of popular internet technologies: dynamic pricing and games. The new venture offers the opportunity for shoppers to play their way to big discounts by combining conventional online shopping with Internet game technology. PricePlay.com already boasts over one million items for which consumers can "Play your Price!" With its unique patent-pending business process and technologies, PricePlay promises to be a major competitor to existing e-commerce sites.
PricePlay.com is the first ever Play Your Price!" site on the Internet. A wide range of products is available on the site: electronic goods, books, music, toys, travel, jewelry, antiques, and so on; additional commerce partners are being added to the site weekly. Shoppers are able to compete for the best possible price on a huge range of items by playing scores of online games. For instance, in the Basketball game, the more baskets scored -- the bigger the discount. The rock bottom prices available and the fun of the games should have a significant impact on the online auction and on-line entertainment industries.
The company has secured multi-million dollar institutional funding, and is poised for explosive growth in this unique e-commerce space.
