I must have been lucky / fast / ingenious as I only missed out on CS123, but it's certainly a lot more effort than buying into a Managed Portfolio. Impressed!! How did you manage that? Got into just under half myself.

Started with the smallest loans (£50 parts first, then £25) on the basis these would fill fastest whilst the bigger ones would last a minute or two longer. But don't tell everyone or they'll all do it ...!

I suppose ATM a few folks find the scrum a bit of fun but that will probably soon wear off. I'll plead guilty to that. The "wearing off" might be, (will be, in my case) heavily affected by the absence of infinite wealth to chuck in!

I got all 28 with the same tactic as stevet. I didn't win fastest-finger-first though, first bid registered at 4 seconds past 10 but I was 2nd to bid on that one. Having said that though, I am another who thinks that portfolios are the way to go. If all of todays items had been in a 15K portfolio with £300 maximum bid, I think that would have kept more people happy.

If somebody has managed to lend out £40k I suppose it must be mostly on the plane, cars or the property? But not more than £10 on the property.
