2nd all the above, never cost more than the initial purchase. Seems unique in that both the 13 year old and the 7 year old can enjoy together, without an unfair advantage. With those 'doom like' graphics and hard to fathom game play it beats me whats in it for them but heh i remember enjoying the old tennis and football black and white TV games with a bar and a square ball.

Brilliant result, verywell played luigi,!! Luigi runs a Lincoln barbers and is responsible for me spending most of my time with a baseball cap on. A lover of the game for many years he has just recently had a second sprog,(2 weeks ago) so the timing of this is excellent. Anyone who knows him will agree a nicer bloke is hard to find, so all in all a great result for Lincoln, the pesky Italians and most of all him and his family!

But by "winning" a sealed bid still doesn't make it binding does it?
No, under English law the deal is not done until legal exchange of contracts, and yes someone could in theory come back with an even higher offer down the line (this happens). However by the time you get to sealed bids most people are fed up with the process they have inadvertently initiated (save perhaps the seller) and some pull out. I ought to add that if you see sealed bids in other circumstances (and not the usual agri or dilapidated) it will be because the client requested it for some reason, perhaps probate or for the quicker sale element.

In my experience this practise is the direct result of a low supply market/high demand property, the behaviour of the public and the laws of the land. Agents aren't keen on this system but constant gazumping and re gaaumping lead by desperate buyers and greedy sellers leads no alternative. It's a sign of a low supply market. As usual blame the agent tho!
Example seller accepts offer of asking price, buyer instructs solicitor. Mr c who viewed a week prior decides he wants it and offers 10k over asking. Seller accepts. Original buyer goes 15k over. 3 weeks down the line mr c is back with 20k more, then a new buyer, mr d with 22k. Agent would have been happy to have sale complete to original buyer by now but has now wasted 20 hours dealing with disgruntled buyers... Form an orderly line with your highest bids....
