Dawdle's Wii Giveaway

[quote name='georox']Stupid question time - If I place a bid on something, when someone listing it ends, does it go to the person with the bid the highest on it, or do they place a minimum or what? I mean right now it seems kinda random and mysterious on how I'm bidding and if/when/how/maybe I'll get anything... o_O[/quote]
Sellers get to set a minimum price for any item they list.

Goomba had it right - if Auto-Close is on, if you bid over the seller's minimum, you'll get it immediately. If it's off, the system "wakes up" when the listing expires and finds the highest bidder. If the high bidder's price is above the seller's minimum, the high bidder wins. The high bidder pays the greater of 1) the seller's minimum or 2) 25 cents more than the 2nd highest bidder. (25 cents is our bid increment for all items; eBay will adjust it as the price of the item increases.) So this means you can often buy stuff for less than your Max Price, even if you're the only bidder.

Hope that helps.
 
Well, we think we have a winner - just hoping to get some details confirmed. Dunno if it's a CAG yet.

If this guy doesn't check out, we'll re-run the drawing. Just wanted to let people know that we're still giving away the Wii and that we *want* to get it to the winner by Christmas.

We did. Unless it's in your spam filter, it looks like you'll have to wait until the next one.

While we wait, any suggestions for the next one?
