About the Site

lastminute-auction.com was born of a pretty simple idea. We had always used eBay and knew that there were some great bargains on the site ... if only we could find them.

There are a thousand ways to define 'bargain', but the one we decided upon was Under a Dollar, Under an Hour. We started searching for these typs of auctions, selfishly intending to use the results ourselves. However, when we realized there were constantly thousands of auctions that met our 'bargain' criteria, we thought we should probably make our lists available to the world.

Our moms always told us that we should do something to help mankind before we die. This probably wasn't what they had in mind, but we think it counts.
