Browse Hidden Prices
Every product on BargainBay has a hidden price. Unlike traditional sales where discounts are predetermined, our prices are driven by real community activity. Browse freely -- you'll see the original MSRP and how many people have revealed each item.
Reveal the Price
Click 'Reveal Price' and spend 20 credits to see the current community price. You start with 100 free credits when you sign up. After revealing, you get a 10-second exclusive window to purchase at that price before anyone else.
Get Exclusive Discounts
Here's where it gets interesting. 50% of every credit spent on reveals goes into a community discount pool. The more people reveal a product, the deeper the discount -- up to 70% off. You're not just shopping, you're saving as a community.
The Formula Behind the Discounts
Our discount formula is logarithmic, meaning early reveals have the biggest impact on price.
Discount = 15 × log2(reveals + 1)Maximum discount: 70% off

|---|---|---|
| 1 | ~15% | $85 |
| 3 | ~30% | $70 |
| 7 | ~45% | $55 |
| 15 | ~60% | $40 |
| 55+ | ~70% | $30 |
