The rules

Anyone can put a product on the free list — no account, no sign-up, no email. Three fields and you’re on. It costs nothing, there’s no queue, no review and no cap on how many you list, and it stays up as long as you want it there.

Position on the free list is decided by click-throughs in the last day — nothing about it can be bought. Send it traffic and you move up; stop and you drift back down.

It sits directly under the top ten on the front page, so everyone who comes for the board scrolls past it.

There are exactly 5 spots above the free list and there will never be more. They are the reason the page is worth visiting, so they cost money.

An open spot is $10, paid once — the same for every rank, including #1. No subscription and no renewal: once it’s yours it stays yours until you sell it.

The list price is deliberately small. What a spot is actually worth gets decided afterwards, by what somebody will offer its holder and whether that holder says yes.

One spot per person — that's the whole reason a spot is worth anything. Claiming costs go to the house; there’s no seller on the other side of an open spot.

Once a spot is held, the only way to take it is to buy it from whoever has it. Anyone with an account can offer a holder money. Offers start at $5, and the money is real: credits come out of the bidder’s balance and are held the moment the offer is made. Nobody on this site is bluffing.

An offer comes with the product the bidder would put in the spot, so the holder knows exactly what they’d be replaced with.

The holder gets 48 hours. A bidder can pull an offer back any time before it’s answered.

Declining is free and instant. Every cent goes back to the bidder, and the amount goes onto the holder’s public record: total turned down, biggest single refusal, number of refusals.

Letting an offer run out is not the same thing. It returns the money the same way, but it’s recorded as ignored rather than declined, and it doesn’t count towards the no list.

Accept and the spot changes hands immediately. The bidder’s product moves in, the holder’s comes out, and the spot’s refusal record resets to zero for the new holder.

The seller keeps half. OUTHOLD keeps 50%. Same split for everybody, and it is the only fee on the site.

Every click through to a product is counted, whether it’s on the board or the free list. The trending list ranks everything by clicks in the last hour, and the free list orders itself by clicks in the last day.

Those are the two rankings on the site money can’t move. They only respond to real people clicking.

Credits are bought through Stripe at 1 credit = $1. They exist to hold offers, and they come straight back if an offer is declined, ignored or pulled back. Card details never touch this site.

Money you make selling a spot goes to a separate earnings balance and is paid to your own bank account through Stripe. Cash-outs start at $25.

Credits are for playing this game. They aren’t currency, they don’t earn anything, and unspent credits aren’t withdrawable — only money you’ve actually earned from a sale is.

Illegal products, scams, malware, sexual content, and anything impersonating someone else — on the board or the free list. If a spot gets taken down the holder loses it and any live offers on it are returned in full. We don’t refund a claim in that case.

Bidding on yourself through a second account to run up your own refusal record is the one form of cheating that actually breaks the game. Accounts caught doing it lose their spot and their record.
