Kyrano depends on a large membership

Many situations depend on large numbers of people who pay a small amount for a potentially large benefit.

Kyrano Corporation is a business that creates these situations.

Situations that deal with large numbers of people

Insurance companies collect premiums from many people to create a fund for paying those who experience a disaster.

State lotteries obtain small amounts of money from thousands of people, keep 50 percent, and distribute the rest to a small number of winners.

Fund-raising raffles get many people to contribute to help a good cause with a small chance of winning a prize.

Situations that deal with large numbers of people

In most cases, people understand the risk of loss when they participate in insurance, lotteries, or raffles.

Millions of people are willing to take the risks, knowing that they may never see a return.

The success of Kyrano.com depends on large numbers of participants who are willing to spend a small amount of money for a chance at a significant saving on their big purchases.

What is Kyrano.com?

It is a unique auction web site where each bid lowers the price of the item being auctioned.

The winning bidder always gets a bargain.

It is not a penny auction. It is not a gambling site. It is not a game. It is a legitimate, ethical, and fair

business that benefits buyers, sellers, and stockholders.

Participants understand the risk involved.

How does Kyrano.com work?

We do not sell products. We carry no inventory. We sell discounts on high-value products. We hold unique auctions for discounts on

college tuition, credit card debts, and installment loans.

Winning bidders buy the products from legitimate sellers of their choice.

Kyrano pays to the merchant the portion of the price won by the winning bidder.

The winning bidder pays the remainder of the price to the merchant.

How does Kyrano.com work?

Mr. Able wants to by a car. He finds the car he wants at a local dealer, a Chevy Malibu with various options.

He comes to Kyrano.com and enrolls in an auction for the car he wants to buy.

Other members who want to buy a car also enroll in the auction.

Each one pays a small fee to enroll. When enough people are enrolled, the auction begins.

How does Kyrano.com work?

The enrollment fees from an initial number of bidders may be used to cover operating costs.

Beyond the operating costs, most of the enrollment fee is used to develop a discount.

As members enroll in the auction, they see the discount increasing.

Members buy bidding tokens to participate in the auction.

Bidders are told when the auction will start.

How does Kyrano.com work?

Each auction requires a designated number of bidding tokens per bid.

Each bid lowers the price of the product by increasing the discount.

Each bid starts a timer countdown. The bidder whose timer runs to zero wins

the auction. Other bidders restart the timer by

bidding before zero is reached.

How does Kyrano.com work?

As bidding progresses, the cost of bidding goes up and the discount increases more slowly.

The timer countdown may get shorter. If there is no winner after a certain number of bids,

an Instant Winner (IW) discount is displayed. The IW discount is smaller than the normal

discount. It becomes available to the current bidder during the timer countdown.

If the Instant Winner discount becomes available, the bidder whose timer is running can accept it and win the auction.

Other bidders may bid before the IW discount becomes available to the current bidder.

How does Kyrano.com work?

For Kyrano auctions to work, a large number of bidders is needed.

If enough bidders don’t enroll in an auction, it is canceled and the enrollment fees are refunded.

To ensure a large enough population of bidders, several similar items may be combined in a single auction.

How does Kyrano.com work?

Bidding is done with Gold, Silver, or Bronze tokens. Members buy gold tokens for 10 cents each. Gold

tokens are fully refundable. Silver tokens are given away as prizes. Members

can also buy silver tokens in auctions at a discount. They have the same value as gold tokens, but they are not refundable in cash.

Members who don’t win an auction may have their gold tokens refunded with bronze tokens.

Bronze tokens can be used only for bidding. They cannot be refunded or used for enrollment.

Ms. Baker is in the market for a car so she visits Kyrano.com and looks over the selection. She selects the Honda Accord from our list and is sent to the enrollment page of auction #33.

Dr. Davis decides to bid on the Ford Taurus. His selection is in a different price range so he is not sent to auction #33. His selection starts a new auction.

They see only their own product selection on their computer screen.

Bidders are assigned an auction ID. Their user names are not shown.

This view belongs to Eagle6, who has 14 seconds to decide whether or not to bid.

Mr. Able sees a Chevy Malibu on his view, with the same discount.

No one knows when the Instant Winner button will become available or active.

$21,001 - $23,000 $25,001 - $30,000The discount in auction #33 is $4,700 with no winner yet. The next bid costs $4. Ms. Baker bids. Her timer is counting down from 9 seconds.

The Instant Winner discount of $4,380 is available and will become active when her timer gets to 5 seconds if someone doesn’t bid before then.

Mr. Able bids and his timer runs down enough to make the Instant Winner discount accessible. Should he accept the smaller discount and stop the auction for a sure win, or wait for his timer to run to zero, or have another bidder stop it?

$21,001 - $23,000 $25,001 - $30,000Mr. Able clicks on the Instant Winner button and wins a $4,396 discount.

Kyrano sends Mr. Able a check for $4,396 payable to the car dealer for a Chevy Malibu. Mr. Able buys the car he wants from the dealer.

Kyrano has a gross profit of $3,685. In some auctions the gross profit may be larger than the amount the bidder won.

Ms. Baker spent $29 on the auction, so the total cost of her car is $29 more than the dealer’s asking price.

Suppose that Kyrano has developed a good relationship with the car dealer. Ms. Baker finds the dealer is willing to lower the price of the car to compensate for her cost of bidding.

Imagine this scenario

Suppose that Lowes hardware store is a Kyrano sponsor. This week in the US, 100 people will buy a $600 Ryobi

cordless tool kit, about half from Home Depot and half from Lowes.

These 100 people bid on the tool kit at Kyrano.com spending an average of $10 each. Kyrano collects $1,000.

The winning bidder wins a discount of $400. We send him a $400 check payable to Lowes. He pays the balance of $200. He got a bargain.

Each of 99 losing bidders gets a $20 discount coupon from Kyrano, good at Lowes for the purchase of the tool kit.

How many of the losing bidders will buy the tool kit from Home Depot?

Lowes gains 50 extra customers by offering a 3.3% discount.

Sponsoring a Kyrano auction can benefit merchants.

Profit potential

Simulations based on conservative, realistic assumptions show that Kyrano can earn a reasonable amount of revenue on every auction.

To cover operating costs, we must earn a reasonable margin on every auction.

Kyrano does this without investing in any inventory. By offering auctions on high-priced items like

homes, cars, college tuition, or mortgage debt, we can take a small percentage.

Such auctions offer attractive terms to members, keep non-winners’ losses low, and still yield a good gross margin to the company.
