    What happened to the bid you had on them jen? it seems to have gone?
    Have you got many watchers on them?

    I guess it depends on whether you want to risk how much/little they might go for, if you can get a guaranteed £100 and if you are desperate for the money then get in touch with the person who made the offer. You just have to weigh up the pro's and cons really Jen. It's your call at the end of the day hth

    i am useless at make choices! i might wait till tomorrow and see what the other tickets sell for i feel a bit greedy going for more! the tickets cost me £34 and dd want to go to the zoo so the £34 back will do a nice day out! i could wait i think. just worried as there is one watcher and no bidders bit scary!

    I would go for the offer on the condition they pay immediately and if they use paypal add on a couple if quid for charges. If they are not willing to do that then leave the auction to run. Just my opinion you have to do what feels right with least risk to you.
