Watch this:
So by auctioning a dollar, one can make more than a dollar. Why don’t charities use this to help raise money for their causes? People who give to charities are already motivated by goodwill, karma, or tax-incentives, so why not exploit that motivation even further to win an auction?
My idea: upbid.org. Charities list items, users bid on items, but all the bids that are made are paid to the charity. Bids can be tax-deductible (if the charity if 501c3). Even people who think they have a legitimate case for collecting donations (like Kickstarter type projects) could list items. Would organizations end up raising more? I’d like to see. If only I could code…
