I think the best idea is to keep auctions the same, but always have at least 1 auction running that is only for people that havnt won any previous auctions, or have won less than 5 auctions say. This way you wouldnt put off the big boys, but you would also have much more interest from casual users.

The big boys could easily big through friends if that we so inclined!

But you can get the same code that swoopo runs on for $19.99, could give it a test run..

That's the nulled script which lordjordysm used, what do you expect if it's a fraction of the price.

It's not that simple, I can get the real code no issues but it's then integrating it into the site structure we have now. How credits are used. How tO explain the different formats etc.

What makes you think it's failed? If they were losing money on it, I'm sure they would be the first to know!

Look at the closed auctions, look at the bids. Do the math and you can figure it out. Money wise it has failed and i'm surprised they haven't taken it down.

Every company has its critics, i'm a big fan of FJ but LBT was/is a bad idea.

On the contrary LBT is turning a profit, particularly recently, you can't see the whole picture from a few auctions or without the deposit info.

We've no intention of taking the site down, it's a good cheap international offer for FJ and we intend to keep it running.

cono1717 is a jewel in the rough
Littlebidtasty must be making at least 20p from FJ's standards! - Huge profit.

I think the issue arises when people don't want to bet against the spread-betters but in terms of ideas it's great.
