Saveoo is an auction website with a difference and ideal for Christmas shopping. It is a reverse-auction site that puts you in charge. You tell the supplier what you want to buy and then dealers bid down against each other.
When the auction is over, you decide whether the price is right if not, you can just walk away.
There is everything from lawnmowers to LCD TVs.
