I don't think the print screen is very clear but my winning bid is $3.14 I had a coupon for that removed the $3.14 and shipping was $12.90.
on this site you also pay for each bid and I paid $25 in bids. so my total came to $37.90.

And how much in total did you spend to get it?
I've heard of these con auction sites where everyone has to pay EVERYTIME THEY PUT A BID, and the bid increments are limited to $0.25 each time or something ridiculous like that.

Yeah the web site looks like www.swoopo.com ... Each bid costs like 70 cents... and increments the auction only 1 cent :P
So 12,XX COULD be a LOT of money :P
Good job if you had it for a cheap price Welcome to maemo talk

Yeah, a friend of mine won a blackberry bold for 60$ TOTAL. He received it, it was brand new... There's no scam about it...
You must be lucky for sure... Sometimes, the web site can make 3000$ for a 600$ item before someone wins it

Simple calculation..

$3.14 with $0.01 increment = 314 bids @$25 each

314 x $25 = $7850 total income of the site, for a single N900 auction.
