Full review
Having just decided to have browse through FSAuctions, following a link from the Freeserve homepage, I happened upon exactly the model of TV that I was planning to buy (around next March, that is!). The navigation to get to this point had been relatively easy.

The "silly" bids from £1 upwards had already been placed (why do people bother?). Even so, the current bidding with only 1.5 days left, was at around half the shop price, so in I dove, with a first bid. An e-mail the following day informed me that I had been topped, offering the opportunity to better my own bid - this I did, adding in a ceiling beyond which I was not prepared to go. FSAuctions undertake not to tell the seller this.

After much sweating as zero hour approached, I was successful, and within minutes got a confirming e-mail with details of how to contact the retailer. The rest is history, having been dealt with like any other on-line purchase.

Et voila , a TV retailing for approx £1300 or so, for £721, not a bad evening's work, even if I didn't mean to spend that money till after Christmas!

One cautionary note, which FSAuctions are keen to point out themselves - if you are buying anything (particularly technical, PCs, TVs etc) know your model numbers and prices. It would be very easy to get buoyed-up by the thrill of the chase to find that you could have got it in Dixons for the same price, or heaven forbid, less !
