		the highest bidder. The only rule is that the unsuccessful lowest bidder will
		have to pay you their bid. The bidders will start off low - maybe at just a
		penny or two. As they progress higher the awful trap starts to emerge - but
		there is nothing they can do about it: no-one wants to lose and have to pay a
		few pounds and watch someone else get the prize for a lot less than it's worth.
		And so it goes. Eventually you see (if they haven't run away) the ludicrous
		spectacle of people bidding higher than the face value of the note. Of course,
		the only winning first bid (and this is a good lesson on greed in any aspect of
		life) is £19.99...
