How to Play
Often known as a Reverse Auction, the idea is to make the Lowest Unique Bid in pence using your mobile phone. This simply means you have to bid the lowest amount that no one else has bid. That’s it!
The Basics
- Find the item you would like to make a bid on.
- Place your bid in pence by sending a text message (SMS) to 84010 with the keyword SANTA and your bid in pence. Example: text SANTA 12p to 84010.
Note: The bids made in pence are accepted with or without the "p" at the end of bid amount.
Once your message is received by our system you will receive an auto response SMS confirming whether your bid has been successful.
- Each auction has a Start Date and a Closing Date.
- Each auction will have a reserve which is the minimum amount of bids required before an auction can close.
- The winner is determined if that person has the Lowest Unique Bid at the point of the Closing Date. For example:
