Droptick - One ad slot a week. Opens at €10k, falls until someone buys

by•
Droptick sells one promoted link a week: the price opens at €10,000 every Monday 08:00 Berlin and falls along a hidden curve until someone takes it. Monday it resets. The mechanic is not new This is a descending auction — the price starts above what anyone will pay and comes down until a buyer stops it. Dutch flower markets have sold this way for over a century: the clock at Aalsmeer runs down, and the first buyer to press the button gets the lot.

Hi Product Hunt! Droptick sells exactly one thing: the only ad link on its front page, one week at a time. Every Monday 08:00 Berlin the price opens at EUR 10,000 and falls along a hidden curve, in irregular steps, different every week, floor unpublished. You can't watch the price: paste the URL you want to promote and you get one look per 30 minutes. First payment wins. Buy Monday, get a week; buy Saturday, get two days for a fraction. Monday morning everything resets. It's a Dutch auction applied to attention, the same mechanic that has sold flowers at Aalsmeer for a century. The tension is the product: wait and it gets cheaper, wait too long and someone else takes it. Everything is public except the price: who holds the slot, what they paid, and the click count their week actually delivered. No accounts, no cookies, no bidding wars. I built it solo. Ask me anything, especially "why would anyone pay that". It's my favorite question.
