About Wavee
Wavee creates a rewarding online auction shopping (http://www. wavee. com) experience. The site introduces the concept of "Shoptions" (shopping options), which allows consumers to bid on must-have items at steep discounts off retail via an exciting auction with the option to apply the full value of bid credits towards the purchase of the product. Wavee addresses gaps in existing auction sites by awarding bidders with bonus credits through a proprietary bonus program (reducing the implied bid-to-buy price), tools and analytics that give bidders additional insight, a rewards program and more ways to win.
