Since this morning our Big Challenge has been online. In order to participate in this game to test your skills, just log-in at LetsBuyIt.com! You have the chance to win one Sony VAIO laptop every month and many more other gifts!
The participation in the game is free and not contractually binding. Just take a little time and enjoy the “Ant-Challenge” .

The rules are really simple: You have 10 seconds to catch as many ants as possible! Just watch out and pay attention because the ants are quite fast! Every ant caught increases your chance to win. You can double your winning chances by challenging your friends to participate as well!

Are you up for the challenge?

The next draw will be taking place on the 15th of October 2008 so you got to hurry!

Our entire team has been testing the game and the largest amount of ants caught has been 13 ants!

And you? How many will you be able to catch?

The whole team is very pleased to introduce Billy, our antastic mascot, to you!

You can contact him at billy@letsbuyit.com!

Oh yes, our new Letsbuyit mascot was born yesterday!!!
It weighs around 200mg, which admittedly is not very big, but it’s healthy and sound! It was also baptised yesterday and we will present it to you very shortly.
Thank you everybody who made it possible for our famous mascot to reascend from the ashes!

We organised last Thursday our first ‘Workshop’ in our Parisian office.
A workshop? We invited 6 people, with very different Internet habits, to test our site in sneak preview! It was actually one of the first time we invited external people to use our new website, so a big moment of truth for us!
Goal of this event: see if the brand new navigation standard we have developed is understandable and ‘adoptable’ by everyone. Then, define all the critical points, study the use and reflex of the users – who had no clue about the website and its services before coming - in front of this new website: what are the points to improve in terms of ergonomics, features, explanations, etc.
It’s been a more than interesting exercise for all of us, and we already started a lot of changes on our site to offer the best user experience to our future members as soon as we launch our beta version (which is now coming very soon!).
With such a success, we decided to repeat this experience as often as possible, and create the ‘First Wednesday’s workshop, which will happen every first Wednesday’s of the month. If you are interested in participating, just let us know!

Again, a big Thank You to Magalie, Gwenaelle, Sophie, Emmanuelle, Donald, Thibaud and Emmanuel for coming!

The entire Letsbuyit.com Team wishes you a Happy Easter!

The whole team wishes you a very Happy Valentines Day!

The whole LetsBuyIt team wishes you a fantastic New Year!
We will now be back online in a few more weeks, with a brand new website we hope you’ll enjoy a lot!
