Going once! Going twice! Sold! To you, the genius who downloaded this app for only $0.99. If you’re after fast-paced excitement and fancy yourself as a bit of a risk-taker, then this is the app for you. Auction Hunter gives you a chance to battle against the big boys as you bid over ‘lots’ containing everything from bath tubs to motorcycle helmets. Well, those two items go together like gin and tonic, don’t they?
Whether you’re practising for a real-life upcoming auction or just enjoy the comedy of the auctioneer’s rapid vocal sequence, “Okay ladies and gentlemen, yip yip, how about there, how about here, how about you, yip yip” and so on, this app provides non-stop entertainment.
Auction Hunters begins with the shady ‘Downtown Storage’ auction, but raise your hand at the right time often enough and you’ll be haggling your way through to the final auction stage ‘Las Vegas Storage’. Now, we all know they like a bit of gamble in Vegas…
Graphics wise, this app supplies the goods. Auction Hunter gives all of the American auction programmes on the triple figure Sky channels a run for their money. See the rosy-cheeked auctioneer urge you to bid that extra $100 for that red electric guitar whilst the cocky geezer with the tattoos waits until the last minute to snoop in and grab that real leather couch.
Like all good bidders, when you grasp that absolute bargain, you want to shout about it, and quite rightly so. Auction Hunters gives you the chance to share/boast your victory with your fellow friends/bidders on Facebook and Twitter, and why not? Everyone loves a bargain.
So don’t be intimidated by your rival bidder’s tinted sunglasses and bulging biceps, underneath those shades they’re pussycats…until you outbid them. Then you’d better pray that those vintage Nike sneakers that you won still have some pump in them.
