But there's a cheaper one available and it's a BIN with freepost.

You haven't seen this actual item, only stock photos.

And then there's horrrendous postage on top of it all.

And I don't see how letting everyone nibble bid you to your max is getting items cheaply.

The idea is to not let anyone know you're interested until the last dying seconds.

(Or minutes if you don't trust your server's speed)
