If you’ve been following along you know that I am all about travelling on a shoe string budget. Well, one of my juiciest secrets is what I call the reverse auction. You might already know that there are many good travel deals to be found on auction sites like Ebay. There you can bid against other would be travellers for the best vacation deals and last minute cruise packages.

That is all well and good, and there are some super savings and outright bargains to be had by looking at online auctions, but we here are after the real meat.

Don’t get me wrong. There are tonnes of sell off vacations to be had here, but the best is a secret, I’m about to share. Wouldn’t it be great to have the sellers bid for your business instead? Think about it. An auction where the price is driven down instead of up. Well, guess what… they will!

Check out Tripology, an awesome FREE service where you simply enter your desired trip details and they will get the appropriate agents to bid on it. It’s as easy as that and super simple.

Just fill out the trip request form and you will get multiple offers. If you see one you like, you can snap it up. Trust me, this is a no brainer. You tell them what you would like to see, and they do the leg work of shopping around. Did I mention that it’s free? And zero risk? Oh yeah, I did.
