Has anyone had any experience with this site? Some deals seem to good to be true, and I am a little skeptical.

this is a site where the last bidder wins, each bid adds time to the clock. the cynic in me says you'll expect to have to buy a lot of credits to bid with before youll be a last bidder

I think it is like madbid where you buy credits and it costs you something like 50p to make a penny bid. So you can bid lots of time spending you credits and end up with nothing, unless you by some miracle win an auction.
They get their money, as say, an item goes for £15 they have received 1500 bids at 50p a pop, nice little earner of £750 smackeroonies. Then they can leagaly advertise some £150 item selling for £15.
Stay well clear if I was you.

I've just found this article that explains it better than me.

Thanks for that; I'd often wondered how they worked but resorted to my default basis of "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." That article confirms it.

As some have said, same as 'madbid', run as far away as you can. I ran through £27 in 31 mins before the penny dropped.

Awful, by the time you've spent out on 'credits' you've probably saved nothing.

Awful. Never heard of it but duly noticed never to use

It's another form of Gambling...
You think you are getting a M1 for say, £20, BUT if each bid was a 1p increment with each bid costing 50p = Mega Bucks.
the sports version of MadBid......Sure, you "could" bag a massive bargain, but like any Gambling, huge risk attached.

I tried it once and the experience is not good. You are basically trying to get the last bid in before the clock goes to zero. However, unlike eBay it keeps resetting so it's a total crapshoot to see if you get the last bid,
Felt pretty random rather than skillful to me.

Better off with the Facebook 'bonus ball' pages. Now they are genuine luck and bargains!!
