    Don't know what the catch is, but this looks dodgy:

    User ID: Offer Price Offer Status Qty Date of Offer s.gif

    buyer 2 ( 1 ) s.gif £25.00 Accepted 1 s.gif 26-Jul-07 16:33:25 BST s.gifs.gif
    s.gifbuyer 1 (2990)s.gif £175.00 Declined 1 s.gif 26-Jul-07 16:02:30 BST

    Why would you decline an offer of £175, then accept an offer of £25 on a holiday with a £200 BIN?
    In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
    It's time to make that change.
