There is a new type of online gaming which is only budding.  It is called a "reverse auction" and it is on Dubli. Dubli is a German Company which has already big in Europe and hs just come to the U.S. The idea for the "Zero Auctions" is that you win the product being auctioned off, by bidding it down to an eventual $0. Other people are competing to win the auction item at the same time, so it's not that easy.  To reveal the current auction price, you need to buy "Dubli Credits" for 80 cents each.  These credits lower the price by 25 cents which goes to pay for the original price of the product.  The other 55 cents goes for commissions to the licensed website owners.

This is online gaming with a different twist. Here are some examples of recent Dubli "zero" auctions:
