I've just seen this on ebay, if I'm reading this right, this fella has just sold a K750i for over £900 !!!

This is the crucial bit..... "FOR EVERY PERSON THAT BIDS AND PAYS,"

This to me reads, You have to bid AND pay to be in the Draw and you've then only got a 1 in 50 chance of winning.

What do you think ???

Yeah this is exactly what it means. The thing is only 17 people bid on the auction instead of 50 and I doubt anyone but the auction winner will the pay the guy. Seems pointless to me....

So someones paid £12 to be in the draw while someone else ( the winner ) has Paid £82, like you say only 17 people have bid, he may run it a couple more times ! He could end up with over £3000 if everyone were to pay !!!

Doubtful tho , You've got to admire his idea !

Actually only 6 ndifferent people bid but there were 17 bids. So only 1 in 6 chance of winning.
