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.
