What do you mean exactly Kev? Are they charging you for the use of a creditcard or so?

They start the price’s off at £130 ish and you put that as your bid but as there all 1 day listings they bump the bids up to around the £180-190 mark so that’s what you pay IF you bid again. The card payments are made via a secure site  just see when the one ive bidded on bloody ends! |

Kev, do you know what these cost in normal stores? A 400D with the 18-55 lens has a going price of 609 euro's over here. The highest up 400D at this time on the site is 280 quid, which makes 355 euro's. If you think that is to much because it's 'refurbished', go buy a ccamera somewhere else. I'll be very happy with a 350D+18-55 for the 200 quid they went for today, even if it's in silver.  |

Also, there's the thing with last second bidders, they wait till the very last second to place their bid, thus leaving others without the possibility of bidding higher. You can try that yourself as well, just wait till the bidding is almost over, see what the highest bid is and decide if you want to go any higher. Or, alternatively, you can put in a maximum bid and then autobid. Whenever a bid is placed, you will automatically raise your bid. Until someone decides to bid more than your maximum bid (wich they cannot see beforehand) then you are out of the game.
Example: if you start an automatic bid to a maximum of 200, and the lowest possible bid is 130, then 130 will be your bid. If someone comes along and bids 140, your bid will be automatically raised to 150. Maybe this person tries again and bids 160. Your new bid will then be 170. If nobody bids more than 170 you win the auction with a bid of 170, and you won't have to pay your set maximum of 200. Try not to accidentally place a 'normal' bid of 200, if that wins the auction, that's the money you will have to pay regardless of other bids.

Kev
Just keep watching, this site shifts a lot of camera's
The one you want will come up, set your price (max) you want to pay, bid slowly and wait. If you miss it, another one will come up.
As for referb cond, - look on the site to see a description.
Like I said I may buy a video camera from this site, depends on the cash. As I have just signed up a college and need to buy a special megger meter, so thats a £1000 spoke for already!

Oh yes.... thats my favourite trick - sometimes I actually win - most often I forget I am watching and it ends before I actually bid at all F |

I got a camera from them a few years ago. I think they are called digital river and are just selling the returns and older models they buy in baulk from Canon.
If its the same people my camera was brand new and the box was sealed and has been perfect. I got a printer of them as well last year and that was also brand new.
Like you I bid a few before I got one. just watch, say the next 5 that come up, and see what price they go for. If thats within you range then put you maxium bid at that level. Even if someone trys to snipe it in the last seconds it will go to the highest bidder.
When you win you then go thru to a page that takes your payment, I just put in the credit card number. the camera arrived a few days later and could be tracked durning shipment as well.
