Check the other link in the OP, the dude tried to write a program to predict those things, but he couldnt make it accurate enough becuase the public dont have enough info.


I did read the link and it looks like he has made a bit of a hash of it

I was just watching a bid & in the space of about 5mins it jumped over £2.50 - in incriments of 7p - thats 35 bids x .50p = £17
Current price is £17.64, thats 252 bids - £126 in real money :-o

Walrus PS3 cost £160 - Thats over 2000 bids / £1000!

I need to get in on this act  :w00t:

50p per bid  :gag: down to time zone ie when most of america is asleep? or wherever the most users come from who use the site.



Bidding is only open from 7am to 12am

Actually, the PS3s bidding went upto £127.  I got a £20 off voucher for joining, that took it to £107.  Then add on the £50 I spent on bids, thats where my £160~ went.

But still, £127 final price equals lots of bids, equals lots of money for Telebid.com

Ahh, I thought maybe the bidder had thought "I can either lose the £500 Ive put into bids.. Or lose out on £100 by just bidding over.."


There really  should be a button on this website to wipe it from your memory. I better close it before I read it too much..
