Its a right con it costs Ł1.50 per bid although you can buy bulk bids for less. The price then goes up a penny per bid and counts down from 90s (iirc) until someone else bids.
So if you win a laptop for Ł10 theres been 1000 bids!

basicly you buy bids and the last to bid on a item wins but you can only bid in pennys you can not say i bid Ł30 like ebay but you have to be the last to bid ,and it is shit

yeah i was watching some things and if you in the last minute and bid it will go back to like 55 seconds so you can't bid in the last 5 seconds like ebay

It's definitely a clever idea, but you're a mug if you bid!

Use the 5 free bids you can get (google Mad Bid free bid offer or something) so you can see how it works, then never bother using it again!
