E: 04/09 1pm - Gameplay New Lowest Unique Bid Competition - FREE ENTRY

Afternoon,

Now, anyone who has been unfortunate enough to read my previous posts knows that I am a bit of a fan of lowest unique bid competitions.

Found another one just now on www.gameplaybid.co.uk

You can win 5 x pack of Wii / DS games. This one has
:rotfl:FREE ENTRY TO USERS!!!! :rotfl:

Checked the small print and this auction is online only, not SMS, and its limited to 200 bids per person. You have to register too, but thats free.

I have already bid
1p through to 50p and they aren't unique so if you are going to bid don't bid under 50p!!

Hope an MSE poster wins!!! Good luck!!!
:T

*** UPDATE AT 16:16 *** *** UPDATE AT 16:16 *** *** UPDATE AT 16:16 *** *** UPDATE AT 16:16 *** ***

ok from the bids entered by me and other MSE posters, I can tell you the following

1p - 150p - NOT UNIQUE
200p - 400p - NOT UNIQUE
455 Unique But Not Lowest
629 Unique But Not Lowest
703 Unique But Not Lowest
1400 Unique But Not Lowest

Oh and I have also entered the Nintendo Wii auction (Costs £1 per bid online or £1 SMS plus network cost for sending a normal text message (around 8p - 10p). I know the lowest unique bid is under 50p at the moment!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

****************** UPDATE 2nd SEPTEMBER 17:10 ***************************
I have entered some more bids on the Nintendo Wii auction. ALl under 50p and all UNIQUE BUT NOT THE LOWEST, which means the LOWEST UNIQUE BID is currently under 50p.

Note - this auction costs £1 to enter (plus the cost of a standard text message)
I haven't entered any more bids on the FREE auction, but a friend of mine bid in the 700 - 750p range and all were not unique.

Finally, I got a promotion from Gameplay offering a 100% deposit bonus if anyone is interested. Minimum deposit £5, get deposit matched up to £50 max. Did all the MSE posters that bid receive this promotion?

Good luck!!

Total Reclaimed from banks and credit cards so far: £14139 :T

    You need to put an end date at the start of the title or this will be put in Game Over.

    It's an auction with a difference. Here, the lowest unique bid wins, not the highest. You have to place what you think will be the lowest bid in pence that no one else will place.

    The minimum you can bid is 1p up to a maximum bid of £999.99 (ie 99999 pennies). Bids have to be placed in pence as whole numbers.

    Once your bid is entered you will be told straight away (either on screen, via email or text) if your bid is unique, not unique or the lowest unique bid. If your bid status changes during the game, we will let you know via text or e-mail. Online users can also check their latest status anytime by logging in to the site and checking "My Account".
    The person who has placed the lowest unique bid when the auction closes will win the auction and even better, you won’t even have to pay for it if you win!

    1. Bids by text cost £1.00 each plus your standard network charge.
    2. Online bids cost £1 each (with payment via debit / credit card or pre-paid cash voucher), unless stated otherwise on the individual promotion.

    51p to 80p is not unique too

    As this is a freebie I reckon the bids will be up past £5....

    I put a few bids in around the £7 mark and they were unique but not lowest

    Come on MSE posters... lets win this :j
