BidWatch is a new feature at ONSALE that
allows you to easily find, monitor, and bid on
items that interest you. Using BidWatch, you can:
- See a concise, organized
list (by category) of all items currently
for sale.
- Customize a list of
auctions and monitor their prices in
real-time.
- Bid on one or more
auctions.
- Monitor your bids in
real-time, see whether they are winning
or losing, and increase them if desired.
BidWatch is written in Javatm and
uses Castanet "push" technology from
Marimba. To use BidWatch, you just need to
download and install the Castanet Tuner which is
freely available. Please note that the Tuner is
only available for Windows 95/NT and Solaris 2.x
SPARC at this time.
Once downloaded and installed,
the Tuner works like a radio - you simply tell it
to "listen" to ONSALE's radio station
(or "transmitter") which broadcasts
current auction information to BidWatch.
We encourage you to try BidWatch and enhance your
auction experience.
