Oh dear. It's sad that sites like Mad bid are allowed to operate and doubly sad that people are foolish enough to use them. It's not an auction site; its more like an online raffle. You buy credits at a pound a time and then squander them (usually 5 to 10 per bid) basically until everyone else gives up and stops bidding. And the "price " shown for the item? It increments a penny for each bid, so, £100.00 for an ipad? No; that's 10,000 bids placed (at £10 a go!). Nice little earner there for someone.
