hang about, so every time you place a bid you pay 50p,,, and you must have the highest bid to win also and every bid raises the price by 10p... which you STILL have to pay at the end also ?

meaning that if you bid 30 times its cost you 15 quid and you may still not win,,,,,, or if you do win it could end up costing 150 quid on top of all the bids ?

this guy put in 195 bids.. costing him 97.50 and now he has to pay 75.10 ontop meaning hes save,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 7 fucking quid !!!

the others have all done the same roughly but just wasted cash

sorry but what a fucking stupid idea,,,,, apart from the bloke whos gaining the cash from these morons who bid

whats to stop the owners having staff to bid up the items to get the extra bids in return from the morons

think i would be better off with the email from nigeria given them my bank account details

also if the bid starts on 10p, every bid costs 50p, for every pound the auction goes up gives swopo 5 quid,,,,,, so for 70quid auction there swopo has earned..... 350 quid PLUS the bloke still has to buy the item for the 70 quid meaning swopo has cleared 420 quid selling a item thats worth 180 quid that they would purchase for 130ish from a supplyer,,, prob even less tbh
