LOS ANGELES, March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The penny auction concept is elevated to a higher level today with extraordinary travel auctions, as BidBrat.com announces the grand opening of their new website. Up for bid will be accommodations for one of the most popular travel destinations in the world -- Maui, Hawaii.

To jump start the auctions, anyone that registers and purchases a bid-pack during the grand opening this weekend will automatically be entered to win a 7-night stay on Maui. Winner will be announced on Monday, March 7, 2011.

Online shoppers have been flocking to penny auction websites to scoop up some great deals on some of the most sought-after products on the market today. Who wouldn't want to win a brand new iPad for $24.00 or a laptop for $17.04, so why not add some great travel opportunities into the mix?

Along with all of the other popular brand name items available on most penny auction websites, BidBrat will be offering vacation accommodations to some of the finest resorts on Maui. "Living on Maui part-time, and being in the travel industry for 15 years, sparked the idea to offer travel-related products to the fun and exciting penny auction format," states Angela Raymond, President, BidBrat.com.

The first travel auction up for bid is for a one-week stay at the Leina'ala Oceanfront resort, located on the South side of Maui.

In the near future, BidBrat.com plans to broaden its travel auctions to other popular destinations in the U.S. and abroad. "In addition to vacation accommodations; we will be adding other travel related auctions such as airfare, rental cars, golf and cruises," says Raymond.

BidBrat.com offers three types of auctions: "Regular Auctions," "Last Bid Wins" and "Name Your Own Price." Random "no bid token" auctions will also be offered where it will not cost the user any bids to participate in that particular auction. Shoppers can also make purchases with a "buy it now" format on certain products.
