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...

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