About 2 minutes before the cyberbid was over I got a message that my bid was the lowest. Sent me over the moon, believe me! Anyway I know that people were going nuts smsing numbers in... and after getting that message I was one of them. My "winning bid" was between $16 and $18, and as I was SMSing, all of a sudden it said "Current winning bid is between $8 and $10". I figure the competition closed and the bids reset, so I bid in 1c and sure enough, I was the lowest unique bid.


Does this mean I won the competition? I've never won anything quite this size before, I thought I was going to get a SMS or phone call or something regarding who won and what the bid was.

It's the next day and I haven't gotten an SMS or phone call saying whether I won or not. When I sit it's on the edge of my seat and I didn't get much sleep las night.


Need someone to put me out of my misery.

Sure does mate.

The only other thing I've ever won was a "The Cougar" T-shirt. Nice shirt... but doesn't stand a chance against a Xbox360.


Now I just have to find a TV capture card, so I can play it on my 22" widescreen monitor smile.gif
