A lowest unique auction platform can be developed according to your wishes.

How a Lowest Unique Auction works:

• Suppose that bids 1,1,1,2,3,5,5 are placed for a auction then the winner is 2 since it is the lowest and unique among the bids.
• Suppose that bids 1,1,2,2,3,3,5,5 are placed for a auction, then the winner is the user who has placed the bid 1 the first time for this auction.

Auction sites are developed under PHP5 with usage of Javascript (Jquery library). To make sure our solutions are scalable we develop auction website only in MVC framework Codeigniter and functions are OOP (object orientated programming) programmed.
