Not sure if this is a 'bargin' but thought it will be a 'bargin' if you are luck to get it.

Reverse auction, the lowest unique bid wins.

End 11.59pm 9/May/2012.

    so where is the bargain ???

  • c64 on 09/05/2012 - 11:31

    weren't some people on whirlpool claiming that last time it was a scam?

    This lowest unique bid thing is a competition not a bargain.

  • PoxyRadical on 09/05/2012 - 11:38

    Comp, not a bargain.

    bargain*

    Auctions are more appropriate for the forums, MOVED.

    Reverse auctions are scams.

      isn't that only when you have to pay per bid?

    This is basically an unlicensed form of gambling. IMO it doesn't have a place on ozbargain at all

      how is this gambling? You are not betting anything. It's just a competition.

        i stand corrected. i misread this:

        Bids will be in denominations of 50 cents.

    Thanks for posting skytree. It took me < 1 min to fill out the 'auction', cost me nothing (they already have my details) and maybe I might win something.

    Thanks skytree. Link is here for anyone who wants it - http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/cons/groups/public/documents/f…

    Sorry Good Guys but I hate this entire concept. It's a random raffle that will waste 99.999999% of participants time. With 50c increments and having to be the only one to select your price these will not sell cheap.

    You'd be better off heading to Australia Post for the 20% off Good Guys gift cards, because you'll probably pay more to "win" any of these items.

    • Steptoe on 09/05/2012 - 22:29

      Win, pay with 20% gift cards…double win

    So where are the results?
    I bid on everything but did not expect to win given the number of people bidding.
    I do wonder how real this auction was and would be keen to see the results.

      Very helpful. Amazingly everything SOLD.

      I'd like to know the results so I can price-match at my local ;)

  • andy2 on 10/05/2012 - 15:08

    Notice that most are sold at even $ value…most people think that *.50c is the better odds. I was close with most of the final values, just 50c or a dollar out on some :(

      looking at the results, seems only the big winners are white goods… rest doesn't look like really good deals.
