    Has anyone else used this site?

    I tried it today. You have to purchase bid credits, 60 credits for like 10euro and certain items you bid on will take 6 of your credits so you can imagine it doesnt last long.

    I then put a bid of 1cent on this item that was down as 11euro RRP, nobody else bidded and I won it. But guess what the site wanted me to pay 10euro postage and all it was was a usb stick, something that you could easily get away with 55cent postage stamp.

    The site is a total sham from what I can see.

    Just heads up for anyone else thinking they might be able to pick up a great bargain!

    The are bidding fee auctions. I would avoid, I'm surprised TV stations accept their advertising.

    There have been several threads about them before, invariably saying to avoid them.
