    666 no good. how do you actually win this. if you place a bid which no one else has done ?

    you have to place the lowest unique bid - if it's you, then you get the item for that amount! In theory, you could win an ipod for a penny.......

    Just received a text from them saying that the ipod went for £2.70.
    Also they are running the same sort of promotion to win a years supply of beer but it says the cost of the text is £1.50 no option of a free entry.
  • Zoo HowLo? ipod sold for 270p! Bid now to get a years supply of beer. 18+only. Reply with ur bid in pence eg ZOO 74 Cst150p New Zoo on sale today OptoutTxtSTOP

    Thats the message received. If I reply STOP will I have to pay 150p?

    Hopefully we all wont get this message weekly, when zoo comes out, or will we?

    I definitely got charged 10p. I think it would have been free if I used my 02 sim card but I'm still using up my T-Mobile sims that came with £10 credit.
