Is it worth joining up? I want a new TV and it seems ok - they have a deal where you get a guaranteed 'win' in your first 24 hours or they refund your bid cost (£89 package for 165 bids with the guarantee). Or are these things really too good to be true and a con?

    I prefer to use a proper auction either online or in RL, I am not a gambler and wouldn't touch these 'pay to bid' auctions with a bargepole.

    £89 and potentially win nothing?

    Stick a £ on the lottery instead.
