"Encan Bougon " is a system that allows you to watch last minute auctions on eBay and for which the current price is below one dollar.

Why? Well the reason behind all this is that many auctions go unsold because they have typos and thus are not found by people. A lot of sellers are pretty bad at making their item "marketable" and have very bad title. And we humans are bad buyers. Most people only browse title, they don’t actually open the item to read the whole description. So a market of bad sellers and bad buys creates an opportunity for good buyers!

I started this tool sometime ago for my own personal use. I use it all the time to look for cheap baby/kids stuff and of course geek stuff. Instead of going on eBay, I use this tool to scan for products. You’d be surprised what goes unsold on eBay!

So I decided to convert my own research tool to everyone. This is a great tool for bargain hunters and although the site is only in French now (Canada, France and Belgium), it will be available for all eBay sites. Try it out and if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know!

It is also a big day for StandoutJob’s team as they announced a $2M funding from iNovia. Talk about double punch..! iNovia is a great company always willing to help out the community and it’s great to see that they put their dollars where their mouth is.

There’s a lot of coverage on very big sites like TechCrunch, GigaOM and Mashable so that’s amazing. Local sites are also covering everything. You can read more on these sites: A frog in the valley, StandoutJob’s blog, Instigator, I never nu, Web1979, MontrealTechWatch, TechCFO, Mikel.org and Guillaume Thoreau.

Anyone got pictures? Good luck to the StandoutJob team!
