I've just seen this website advertised on TV http://uk.madbid.com/ and there has got to be a catch somewhere.

From FAQ on Madbid
2.4 What is the cost for placing a bid?
The cost of submitting a bid depends on whether you are using text message or a MadBid Account. Sending a text message costs £1.5 + any operator surcharges. To submit a bid through a MadBid Account costs between £1.3 and £0.75, depending on the package."We could say the government spends like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money."

:rotfl:they almost had me once. they used to (or maybe still do) offer 5 free bids when you sign up. upon doing this and using some of my free bids, whilst watching what i was bidding on i noticed as it went down to like, 3 seconds, it went back up to something like 2 minutes!
they are a complete scam and should be banned. i cant imagine ANYONE has EVER won anything on this site. if you have, please show yourself and ill take it back! but i doubt it :rotfl:Everyone who thanks me when ive helped will get a 5% share when I win this weeks Euromillions......:p0 -
