A lad and a brand new focus for €900?

That's quite reasonable.. is he cute?

Is there pics of him?



EDIT: Had a quick google and found this http://forums.hexus.net/shopping-retail-therapy/151448-madbid-com-scam.html

The guys they got for the ads look well dodgy

Nobody gives anything away for nothing without a catch!

My experience with stuff like this in the past.......
I believe the catch is it costs you to make a bid (sometimes in the region of a euro or so)
The only bid that wins after the "auction" closes is the lowest unique bid.
Usually these guys make the money on the cost of making the bids in the first place.
My advice, stay well away.

No,
Read the above earlier post from me.
You win the auction once your bid is the lowest unique bid but you pay for the privilege of making each bid as well as the cost of the bid itself should you win.
Although this seems to be a slight variation of it:

How have you guys never heard of this scam before? its well known and should be illegal but it judges borders the law. heres how it works
eveytime you bid the product goes up by 1 or 2 cent and each bid costs usualy €1 but heres is the beauty of the scam. The timer resets with each bid and there are auto bots that you are not told about so eventually someone probaly wins but only after they have raked up so many euros that together everybodys bids add up to well over the product value. So there may have been people that have won those prizes at those prices but its a game of bingo where you are betting against computerised bots.
Seriosly google it and anybody who puts money into this site and gets scammed after reading this is retarded and deserves to lose their money when they could at least send it to my rich nigerian uncle so he can share his lotto winnings.
I was thinking of setting a site like this up before and every script you can buy easily online offers autobots that the webmaster that use and the site users cant see.
