Hey! Has anyone used Telebid before? There are some good deals that I want to bid for . I just don't know whether it's safe or not...

Thanks!

I was just reading into telebid (on their site) and was immeadiately suspicious due to the cheap prices. PS3 at £20.

The catch is that each time you bid you pay 50p whether you win or not. As far as I can tell once you bid there is a countdown and if no one out bids you beofre it hits zero then you win.
This means you could spend quite a bit just on bidding and not at all guaranteed to win. Even worse if you get hooked on making sure you get it then you could end up paying more.
It's a tricky one but whatever happens the company certainly will rake it in

[cynic mode on] If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. [/cynic mode off]

Ah... I see now lol. So they do make quite a bit of money then! Very clever of them...

I saw a bloke in Yarmouth sell stuff no one wants for a fourtune. Basicaly he had a shop full of ps3 and the likes, He would come out on the "stage" talk about all these ps3s and the likes then say

"Who would give me £5 for whats on my mind"

Loads of punters would offer money out and get a ticket , what was one of the blookes mind was bottles of Centergrade by Christopher Door. Then he would do it again untill my brother said amazing people are offering money for they dont know what they are getting.
