How can they possibly make money?
The sellers are knockoff merchants? :D

I'd like to get my hands on some of that stuff, but it doesn't look safe to me :P

It reminds me of a new Currys store that opened the other week.

It caused traffic chaos because it opened at 7am and was selling Sat Navs at £20 (retial £100+). They were also doing the same with other larger items.

Police were called in to restore some kind of sense and order so the people needing to get to work could.

This world is alittle fecked up at times.

Nova this is how they make money.

How much does a bid cost?

Each bid costs just 50p, and are available in "BidPacks" of 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 bids.

you cant bid unless you buy, but then if you get it cheap its like a weird lottery!!

I had a look at this website before, but I'll stick to eBay cause it's much simpler and the costs aren't disguised. I'm sure you can get very good deals from this website, but you are going to have to do a lot of research and calculation to make it pay off.

Yeah, I had a look at a similar website, it was called telebid or something like that, and for 98% of the ppl that bothered bidding, the math just didn't add up ^^
