Xx Unique Bids Below

[tbaxter]

One thing I've gone over in my head. When it says 50 unique bids below you or whatever and you finally get the lowest unique bid that it claims exists i.e there is 1 unique bid below you, then you got 0 unique below you and your bid is unique. Is that the lowest unique at the time or the lowest you can get without clashing with someone elses bid?

I think you will find that's just the lowest unique bid that hasn't been taken, it actually says how many unique bids are "available" below yours not how many others have below yours

[Nottalot]

Yeah Tom

I'm confused.

I've just placed a bid to check my current unique bid.

I delibrately went higher than my current unique to see how many was below, hoping it would say 1 which would be mine.

But if it's saying o available, which it is. How can you judge where to place you next bid?

Say you put a bid of £90 and it's says unique.

Then you put a bid of £100 to see how many below are there with you and it says 0 ???

If it said 1 you would know that you were the lowest, if it said 10 then you would have to make more bids to work out the lowest.

So does it actually say that you have the lowest unique bid when you place it?

I think it only tells you how many unique bids are below yours, if it says 0 and your told your is a unique bid, at that time you are the holder of the lowest unique bid

[Nottalot]

Ah

But thats the problem.

I've got a unique bid, I'm not telling wot it is though

But to check how many others were there with or below me, I made another bid slightly higher than my unique one.

It said 0 unique bids below that.

Well thats wrong coz there's at least 1......MINE.

Or does it mean theres no more to pick from, so theres' mine and about 3000 others

I am sure it means that people below you could have unique bids but that there are no more possible unique bids to hit below yours.

It means that every possible bid has been used up below your bid, but a lot of these could still have only been bid on once resulting in a lot of bids to be doubled up before yours is the lowest.

Unfortunately I don't think there is anyway of finding out how many unique bids are below yours.

Previously VWD have given out clues to the "actual" lowest unique bid, I'm guessing they will do so again perhaps closer to the close date

[tbaxter]

Here's an idea. Would it not be a much better game and a true game of skill if VWD told you where the unique bid was so you could try and knock it out. In the last 10 minutes, I'd quite happily buy 150 bids and try and knock out all the unique bids below mine to make mine the lowest. That would make the game true skill and I'd play a lot more. For now there's no point in placing any more bids. We just have to HOPE that nobody has a lower unique bid which is pointless because we know there's probably about 6 trillion.

i do not like the game at all! it totally confuses me and i know there are no unique bids below £11 so there! I have one bid left! Anyone giving clues away!? I,ll go halves with you !!!

[Nottalot]

No thanks Gary.

There's no way I'm getting pulled around Whitley Bay in the back end of a Merc.

As I figure I 've got no chance now, yesterday I thought I did. I'll tell you my bid.
