Lowest Bid Wins
I noticed recently that Lucky Hammer doesn't appear when you type "lowest bid wins" into Google.
However, in finding this out I did notice an auction site that I've not seen before. Might be worth checking this out.
Auctionair has load of different types of auction including highest bid wins auctions (surely this just a normal auction -ed). There's some good prizes on there though like TVs, cars and computers.

New Auction Site
Well, it's probably not new but I've just discovered it!
I was on www.findit.co.uk yesterday (which, by the way is a pretty good free classifieds site - you should check it out) and I saw an advert for an auction site I've not seen before. To begin with I thought it was probably another reverse auction site as the prices seemed pretty low - a PS3 went for under £40.
www.telebid.com is a timed auction where the highest bid when the counter reaches zero wins. The only twist is that when you add a bid you add more time to the clock. This obviously stops ebay style bidding where you wait for the last moment to place what you think is the winning bid.
It looks like it costs 50p to place a bid. There are probably a whole new set of tactics for this type of auction so I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on!

Lucky Hammer's European Break closing tonight
Yesterday, an email went out to Lucky Hammer members informing them that the european break is closing tonight.
Readers of this blog may be interested in a couple of tips that were included on the email. The first tip is that there's a buy one get one free offer on the auction. The second tip is perhaps more interesting.
At 5pm, when the email was sent, the lowest unique bid was still less than £1. This supports the definite trend that prizes on Lucky Hammer are going very cheaply - it's a new site so the number of bids on each auction are pretty low.
In the case of the European Break it once again looks like someone's going to get a cracking deal - even in terms of reverse auction sites.

A Plea
Dear readers
If anyone sees any competitions to win a year's supply of petrol please, please, please let me know. I don't know how many more price increases I can take! It seems that most places near me are now selling diesel for over £1.30 a litre.
Please find me a competition - it would mean so much to me!
Yours in Hope

Has Lucky Hammer provided the cheapest PS3 ever?
While we’re waiting for the Wii and iPod touch auctions to finish on Lucky Hammer and Bidjam we can look at a previous bid where the two reverse auction sites had the same product on offer.
Recently, both sites auctioned a PS3. Bidjam is currently advertising on their front page that they sold a PS3 for £1.95. This is a great deal for someone as if you want to buy a PS3 at the moment you have to spend around £300 (there are some good PS3 deals here)!
The final price of the Lucky Hammer auction was a bit harder to find. However, when we did find it, we were shocked - the lowest unique bid was 24p!
24p for a PS3 – this time last year people were paying over £400 – the Lucky Hammer winner has effectively had a 99.4% discount on this price!
So here’s a challenge: if anyone knows a cheaper way that someone has got a PS3, post a comment on this blog!

Battle of the Auctions
At the moment two of the UK's biggest reverse auction sites are going head to head. Lucky Hammer and BidJam both have current auctions for an iPod Touch and a Nintendo Wii.
The question is: whose auctions will finish lowest?
The luckyhammer bloggers will keep an eye on activity and let you know.
At Dixons the price for the iPod is £174.54 and the price of a Wii is £269.99 (with three games).
Let's see how much our winning reverse auctioneers save on these prices!
