good question sir,yes you have to buy bids ie it costs about £1 per bid.This is how they can afford to sell a 52inch tv for £30.i wont insult your inteligence but you have people bidding for hours on one product each bid costs £1.How much are these sites making i ask.Is there a knack to it or is it bingo in a different format?

If bids are £1 each but each bid is a penny ... then 30 quid for a 52" plasma is bloody dear ! |

is it like these things they do on the radio sometimes where you text in a bid to a premium rate number and lowest unique bid wins?

sounds like it except they bypass the phone number and you open an account fund it and buy bids |

auctions go on for an indefinite length of time. even though you can see a countdown any bid placed in the last x minutes reopens the auction for another x minutes so you can't ninja bid at the last second. this is the trick and is how they make fortunes

i am wrong its an auction just like ebay
each bid goes up a penny at a time
so you buy 10 bids and bid each time by a penny
each time it cost you £1 so something going for £30 only brings in £3k for the site
