You set your purchase price
You decide at what price level you are ready to tap. You wait for your target — or let it go.
Descending format
The Drop
The price drops. You decide when to buy.
The seller sets a starting price and a floor price. The price drops progressively between the two over the duration of the sale. The first buyer to tap "Buy" wins the lot at the price shown at that instant — but if they wait too long, someone else may grab it first.
How the Drop works
Blisterr's descending format — the reverse auction: the price no longer climbs, it drops.
-
The seller launches the Drop
A verified seller picks the item, a starting price (high), a floor price (low), and a duration. The descent starts when the Drop goes live.
-
The price drops in real time
The displayed price decreases progressively toward the floor over time. You see the current price and the trajectory on screen.
-
You decide when to tap
You can buy at any time at the displayed price. The longer you wait, the lower the price goes — but another buyer can tap before you.
-
First come, first served
The first buyer to tap "Buy" wins the lot at the price shown at that instant. Payment is automatic, parcel tracked to your door.
Why pick the Drop
No outbidding
No need to climb against someone. You wait for your price, and it is yours if you are first.
Rewards patience
The longer you wait, the lower the price. But it is also riskier: someone else may grab the lot before you.
Great for clearing stock
On the seller side, the Drop lets you test a price: if no one bites at the top of the curve, the market adjusts down on its own.
Frequently asked questions about the Drop
-
How does the price drop?
The price decreases progressively between the starting price and the floor over the full duration of the sale. The descent is continuous and visible on screen. -
What happens if no one buys?
The price drops to the floor. If no one has tapped by the end of the countdown, the seller gets the item back — to republish in another format if they want. -
Can I see how many other buyers are watching?
No. The Drop does not reveal how many people are following the sale — that is part of the game: you do not know who else is waiting for your target price. -
What are the fees in a Drop?
Same as the other Blisterr formats. Full fee details are in the FAQ.
