www.skyauction.com: too good to be true?
 
Has anybody tried to bid and to get the tickets/packages through this site? I browsed through it today for the first time, some deals seemed too good to be true: business class tickets to Europe with very few restrictions may go for $2000 or less. What's the catch? The small print does not seem to be too spooky. Has anybody tried them?

business Europe-US (East coast) just under $ 2'000 is standard (restrictions: 7 days, no change of schedule & carrier) with major US and european carriers. On the grey market you can achieve even better prices on the most popular routes (best: LHR as European gateway).

In Switzerland online at http://www.kuoni.ch/ (ticketshop).

Rudy, thanks for pointing out to me that there are BETTER deals to be had than the ones sold on the skyauction. Please remember that "better" is in the eyes of the beholder.
My original question to the general public out there still remains: has anyone tried the service? Is there anything I should be aware when bidding for the packages or the airfare,aside from Rudy's warning of over-paying for the tickets?
