InfoSpace Launches Competitive Shopping Web Site

InfoSpace.com (NASDAQ:INSP), a leading developer of metasearch products, today announced the launch of Haggle (www.haggle.com), a competitive shopping site that offers Internet users a chance to bid for great deals on new brand-name electronics, gift cards and more.

“In the past year, InfoSpace has been adding to its portfolio of owned and operated properties, and Haggle.com is another example of our commitment to grow revenue by launching new sites targeted at niche markets,” said John Rodkin, general manager of search for InfoSpace. “With Haggle, we’re able to expand our reach and offer consumers an innovative online shopping experience.”

Haggle provides Internet consumers with an opportunity to bid for great deals on top-of-the-line products through a secure site, while participating in an exciting online experience. Haggle's clean design and clear functionality makes the site easy to navigate, allowing bidders to be more engaged in hassle-free online shopping.

During its 2-month beta period, Haggle.com members were able to bid and buy new brand-name electronics at a fraction of the retail price, with discounts as much as 99 percent. The items placed for bid on Haggle include brand name electronics, appliances, high-end handbags, gift cards and much more.

How it works:

Haggle members participate in auctions by purchasing bids on Haggle’s safe and secure Web site, and then use those bids to compete with other users for amazing deals. Each bid placed increases the price of the item and the amount of time remaining to bid. The member who places the last and highest bid before the time ends on the item’s auction clock is declared the winner, giving the winning bidder the option to purchase the product at the bid price, which is frequently at a large discount off of the usual retail price. Membership is free, and member registration is available now at Haggle.com.
