Pimp my Reverse Auction!

Although it’s not even May yet, fatfoogoo’s got some new stuff happening. Launched today, we’re introducing our brand spankin’ new ‘Reverse Auction’ feature, along with a bunch of smaller usability updates.

The most important innovation: Reverse Auctioning. Reverse Auctioning is perfectly suited to find specific items and services (need the rest of this). As everyone knows, the price is not always everything. The more expensive seller may have a better rating and a better reputation with buyers. The decision of lower price vs. dependability is left up to the buyer to decide.

Also fresh from the Fatfoogoo program labs are the Reverse Auction notifications. These notifications keep you up to date on your auctions, let you know who’s been underbid, and if you want, the system will even send you an email so that you can update your bids. The potential buyer is also updated via email, if he should so choose, as soon as a new bid arrives. As soon as the order arrives, if the price and service work for him, the buyer can decide to immediately end the Reverse Auction prematurely. On the other hand, if the auction time has expired, the buyer must then decide on one of the suppliers. Only if a suitable choice has not presented itself, the most favorable supplier (i.e. the one with the lowest price) automatically wins the Reverse Auction. We’ve also added a new feature to the auction radar: an automatic searching filter for Reverse Auctions that you can customize in your profile settings.

The Reverse Auction feature is the most important innovation at the Foogoo right now, but what about those other new features I mentioned? Well, you’ll notice that the registration area has some shiny new graphics, users mini profiles can now be seen in a floatover feature while in a list view, and starting today, we’re now supporting auctions for Papermint gameplay.

Our support team is always around to answer any questions you might have about the Player 2 Player marketplace. Our doors are always open for your feedback and suggestions!

Welcome!

Welcome to the brand spanking new Fatfoogoo.com blog. To be fair, it’s not brand spanking new, as the foogoos have been blogging away over at the German speaking version, but for the sake of FTW: let’s just call it new.

We thought about writing a mission statement for this blog, but thought that that would be way too restricting. Rather than a mission statement, let’s put it this way: The Fatfoogoo blog will keep you up to date as to what we’re doing here inside the walls of the foogoo fortress, give you the inside scoop on what our code ninjas are working on, and provide you with gaming news you might have otherwise missed. All that, and a dash of humor as well. Forgive us if we might go slightly off track once in a while, but fear not, even our tangents will in some way be related to the world of online gaming.

Again, welcome to the Fatfoogoo blog, we hope to see you again soon!
