what did you win ?
i can see it will more than likely get very addictive

no its not a scam, basically if i understand them right then the last bidder wins (as he/she will be the highest) but every bid increases the time the auction goes on for (there is a max length though) so even when its about to get to 0 seconds for you to win there will be loads of people waiting to bid and it will go back up to X mins again.

Don't use them, not unless you want to throw money away

I can also report this is not a scam site. Some very good deals on there though, I think I will sign up and register.

Its only a good deal for the winner bidder, the hundred odd other people who bid and spend 50p a bid lose out.

I am not familiar with this, could you not just wait until the end of the auction and then pop in a quick bid, or is very different to ebay.

How can you say its not a scam without having a scooby?

Every bid adds 15 seconds to the timer, so everyone is putting last minute bids in so normally PS3s sell for £50 ish. starting at £0.01 (each bid adds £0.07 to the bid price) which is over 700 bids. 700 bids x 50p + £50 for the console = £400 for a console that costs £270 max...

Im So Sorry!!! Im Sorry For Having The Same Opinion As Someone Else..


Im Sorry That Our Minds Think Slightly Alike. And Im Sorry For Not Readign Every Post!


Ahh Please Forgive Me...

Bids are £0.50 each not £0.07. And you are pretty much copying the exact example i gave 2 hours ago...
