Came across this site. Some of the prices that things are being sold at seems to good to be true.

They make their money buy selling bids. ie £10 for 20 bids

Anyone used it ? Won anything?

Found the other thread;

https://passionford.com/forum/showth...hlight=telebid

i realise now its not straightforward

ie your spending a £1 on your bid thinking your gonna win then the auction starts up again

i suppose its just chance holding off bidding until you think the auction is away to end genuinely

i might buy a tenners worth and give it a go later, its only a tenner after all

hmmm, you make a bid and if outbid, you still pay a fee to bid,

everytime a bid is made the auction extends 40seconds
