The lowest unique bidder:
The lowest unique bidder is the person who has bid the lowest amount that no other person
has bid.
When two people place the same bid, that number is no longer unique.
When a person has a unique bid but there are other UNIQUE bids that are lower, then it’s not the
lowest UNIQUE bid.
To buy the product at your bidding price, you must be the one with the
LOWEST AND UNIQUE bid at the auction’s end - "The lowest unique bid".
Look at the graphic below to understand how you can win the SMS-Reverse-Auction:
