A new line of attack: reserve bids for the reverse auction

October 22, 2009 | Nathan Brown

For those of you unable to participate in our Friday afternoon auction, and as an addition for those who can, a new game strategy has now been put in place.

Starting this Friday, we will be accepting reserve bids ahead of the auction. If the shoe is still available at your reserve price during the auction, then the pair is rightfully yours. A new tactic to consider that could perhaps win you the desirable pair of Classic English Derbys this Friday. Contact us at info@lodgerfootwear.com, on +442072875455 or Tweet us a private direct message with your name, contact details, preferred size and the all-important reserve price.

Friendly rivalry on a Friday

There’s going to be some tough competition this week. This week we’re placing a pair of black English Classic Derbys on the block in our reverse auction. With the contest for the trophy pair kicking off at 3pm London time, we are expecting a speedy win with such a popular style, sizes range from 6-13.

It’s the end of a long week, so join us for a bit of friendly rivalry this Friday - and potentially walking away with a beautiful pair of Lodger footwear. Best of luck!

In hot pursuit of the Italian Slip-on

Have you got the nerve to compete in our ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ reverse auction?

This week we’re placing a pair of Italian Tobacco Slip-ons on the block in sizes 6,7,8.5,11,11.5,12,12.5. Kicking off at a later time of 3pm London Time, the price of the shoes will drop by £2.50 a minute with the hammer falling when the first person loses their nerve, seizing the pair at the price stated at that time. With an ever increasing Twitter following, the competition is toughening up - so be set and raring to go by 3pm Friday. There’ll be tweet updates every ten minutes, so keep an eye out for them. May the best man (or woman) win…

He who dares, wins

Another auction passed, another outstanding quality shoe given away at a minimal price. This week we offered up the heavy yet handsome Almond Slip-on; a tough and daring shoe to style but with the right owner and style skills, has the potential to create an outstanding look. With the original retail price of £375 diminishing by £2.50 a minute, the pair went at 1.44pm for a staggering £115 - pocket money you could say. Next week, we’ll be offering a pair of Italian Contemporary Tobacco Slip-ons in sizes 6,7,8.5,11,11.5,12,12.5 at the same start price of £375. The auctions are becoming ever more popular so don’t miss out, even if it’s simply joining us for a bit of fun on a Friday…

Thank God It’s Friday Auction

Last Friday the lucky winner of our reverse auction walked away with an outstanding pair of Wrapped Oxfords for a steal at £104; shedding an impressive £396 off the retail price. What more could tempt you into placing an offer at tomorrow’s auction, where we’ll be putting a pair of almond Slip-ons on the block? And, for those of you who couldn’t squeeze into the previously offered size 8, we’ll be offering tomorrow’s shoe in sizes 7.5-12.5. The highest quality shoe, in the perfect size, at a potentially minimal cost; you could say we are spoiling you. The auction will be kicking off at 12 noon (London time) through the Lodger footwear Twitter feed. Keep an eye on the falling price with our updates posted every 10 minutes. Good Luck!
