    Couldn't you take them back and say there's a fault?

    You are guaranteed to get them at that price until the quantity at the bottom of the page reaches zero.

    if every one sells they will take the money for them as soon as every one is sold. If they don't all sell say tonight, they will take you money when the bid ends.

    Pretty sure it doesn't work that way.

    From what I can gather, they capture the top bids (77 available, so the Top 77 Bids) and then all 77 bidders win the item based on the lowest of the 77 bids.

    If 76 people bid £30 and person 77 bids £25, then all 77 get it for £25.

    It's a reverse auction, everyone pays the lowest price. It can't go lower than £1.00!!!

    I did this with a grabbit on some saucepans earlier. I have the confirmation email that I have purchased them, and that was only a couple of hours ago!!!

  • You're confused i think!

    Its a 'bid from' auction!
    Not a buy it now auction.

    You might get them for that price but it isnt guaranteed.

    Read their help section

  • These phones are not £1, they are bid from £1, it is very unlikely they will go to a quid
