So you spent £10 out of your money? Wow that's a great bargain, well done!

Thats right!

was tempted to put more on to increase my chances but didnt want to get too sucked into spending a fortune! lol

But now, you should sell it, buy more bids and increase profit

Ended up taking the 80% cashback of £160

Congratulations tonights winner's!
Im weary about depositing more...
how much do i want to be a winner...8)

Snave · 08-02-10, 09:05 PM

So it seems pretty set now that you need to spend roughly £100 to have any chance of out blanketing Shad or Sajid.

I realise that some of the lesser priced items have been won by new people but for anything good, you're up against people who seem to be using LBT as a little business venture.

I notice some of the items aren't getting a hell of a lot of bids either, I wonder how much, if any profit LBT are making at the moment.

Its not a big profit but its not little... i mean 250+ bids on the £100 amazon voucher today, even though they are 50 points it still equates to over £100 so they are in profit! Its a great concept and im sure as it grows more prizes will become available as the inflation of users does.

cinwick · 09-02-10, 07:35 AM

ok i was so excited about this site till i noticed the same people winning all the time. Come on guys can't you let one ps3 or something big go by without blanking it. Give others a chance at one pleaseeeee

the_icks · 09-02-10, 08:20 AM

Again, I can't speak for the site owners, but I do think that LBT is being ruined by seeing the same names time and time again, at least 3 people I have asked to sign up for me (and pay for) have made similar comments to the above about the same people winning again and again, their attitude was that 'if it looks like a scam......' - and they were not even going to risk any of their own money!!!!!

the_icks · 09-02-10, 08:22 AM

I think that thee should be a limit in the number of bids placed in a certain period of time, to make the site more approachable!!

FurbtasticM · 09-02-10, 08:28 AM

Making it more difficult to win would make it less approachable in a different way though.

Do you need to publish winners names? Can't see that on the front page of Swoopo for example.

**arcticfox** · 09-02-10, 10:29 AM

Would we be having this discussion if this offer was not run by FJ? Probably not.

LBT is a company designed quite rightly to make money. They did a few auctions for people who hadnt won before but I wonder if they actually made any money out of it? If they did this more often, wouldnt regular winners just get friends to sign up and do the offer and then bid on what they are told?

If people are that desperate to pay hundreds every auction just to win a nano e.g. then they will find ways round non- winners auctions.

I imagine names are published to show real winners, just like people on exceem running comps will show the winner as proof.

If people dont want to do LBT there are plenty other offers to do.

the_icks · 09-02-10, 10:53 AM

You are right, but when it is by far the best offer to promote it is a different matter.

I couldnt give a toss who wins a 50" plasma, I would rather spend my £10 getting a green, but unfortunately I am encountering difficulties persuading people to part with MY cash when they think it looks suspect.

Maybe there should be a seperate LBT forum!

Larkino · 09-02-10, 10:57 AM

I have just deposited my monies for this offer, looks like I'll be waiting for one of these virgin auctions

winger15mk · 09-02-10, 12:32 PM

I personally can't say too much as i have won a few items on the site and made a considerable profit myself, but i really do think that shad, sajid, kent etc should take a break and give others (not myself) a chance of enjoying the site rather then just getting peoples hopes up and then wiping the whole auction out right at the end? Some people don't have £100 to just chuck into the site and the whole point is that you can get expensive items for a cheaper price.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, its nice to see LBT expanding by putting more items up from 2 to 3 a day

, im sure as progression grows there will be items throughout the day like the other low bid sites

Are they any more or less reluctant to spend £10 on one of the other gambling offers?

Amiethest · 09-02-10, 04:31 PM

Personally if I were one of the ones who are winning all the time I'd be darn proud and carry on regardeless, and I'm one of the ones whose dolled out over a hundred odd to see what's going on.

two of them have already completed on other sites for me (coral) and one was sceptical to start with so I don't dare ask!!!
