TEENAGER Vincent Rustill couldn't believe his luck when he bought an Australian Grand Prix Experience package for just 95p, including flights and five-star accommodation- all by placing a winning bid on the online auction website Lifestyle Bids.
The youngster from Bedford was shocked when he realised what he had bought for just 95p. Accompanied by his dad, a lifelong-Grand Prix fan, both flew to Melbourne to watch Lewis Hamilton defend his Grand Prix world title. As part of the 95p VIP Grand Prix winning package, the pair stayed in a five-star hotel for the week and witnessed the racing from the front row. They also had access to the pits and managed to get up close to some of the cars.
Vincent said: "When I got the call saying I had the lowest unique price, I was absolutely stunned. All I had to do was visit the auction website Lifestyle Bids and place the lowest unique price for the package that nobody else had entered - it was that simple. I'm a Grand Prix fan, but nothing compared to my dad who lives and breathes Grand Prix, so to be able to take him to Melbourne and having a five-star hotel to stay in for the week and getting to see the Grand Prix, seated so close to the action was a truly amazing experience."
Commenting on Vincent's win, Reginald Larry-Cole, CEO of Lifestyle Bids said: "All the team at Lifestyle Bids are delighted for Vincent. Anybody can have a go. Why just dream of how the one percent live, when you can bid your affordable lowest unique bid to enjoy the same experience. It is a simple process of buying into an auction room and making your free bids throughout the auction period. At the end of each auction the lowest unique bidder will be announced. It’s that simple.”
"We have many more exciting reverse auctions coming up, from sold-out events to concerts, dream holidays, luxury goods and more. Bidders simply need to pay a small entry fee starting from £1.99 to enter the auction room and then use their daily allocated bids to play. Interestingly, as it is a reverse auctions website, unlike most other auctions, at Lifestyle Bids it is the Lowest Unique Bidder that wins, not the highest! Our bidders bag amazing prizes sometimes even for pennies.
“We bring to our bidders an opportunity to make their dreams come true. Some of our other winners bagged VIP experience packages to witness Anthony Joshua Boxing fight with private jet and 5-star stay, Kendrick Lamar concert, Brit awards, signed memorabilia, gold iPhone & iPad, designer goods and more...all won for bids less than £10.
“One of the most popular live auctions running at the moment is the VIP experience for Spanish Grand Prix and Monaco Grand Prix inclusive of flights and five-star stay. Exciting times! That's why we tell our bidders - Don't just dream it, bid it."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
