A quick guide
Each auction starts with a starting price of under £1 and closes after a few hours. When someone bids, the price goes up by a tiny amount, sometimes as little as only 1p. When the auction closes and you're the last bidder - you get the vouchers! It's that simple. We can sell the item at this extremely low price by charging a small amount (40p to 60p) for each bid placed in the auction.
All you need to do is register with your email address, buy a bid package or use a mobile phone to text a bid. Each auction guarantees crazy low prices on all your shopping with voucher bundles up to £500.
When you've made a bid, your name will appear in the list as the highest bidder and the price goes up by a few pence! To keep it fair, the auction is extended by up to one minute for every bid made to give everyone a chance to bid before it closes.
