Ok ............. this is just sad !!


Golden Ticket Farce

£10,000,000?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For a 1 in 100 chance of being in the BB house?!!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA!! I wonder if the winner will pay up. Good find Neefs!

I really can't imagine how someone who sells cds on ebay could find 10 mill.

And why anyone would pay that amount for such a small chance of being locked up with some loons is totally beyond me !

YE GODS!!

That's just stupidity. If I found a golden ticket and put it on eBay I'd ask for something aLOT lower than that just to get the thing sold! I cannot see ANYBODY shelling out THAT much. I can see people paying thousands for it, but not ten million!!!

The offer has been reduced now, the £10million guy obviously pulled out. It's now at a much more reasonable £9,003,300.00

EDIT: And since I typed this is it's gone down another 4 million!

EDIT 2: Make that £4,000,100.00 now! If it keeps going at this rate I'm in with a chance of buying!

EDIT something or other: Ebay are obviously sorting out the serious buyers. It's currently at an almost affordable £140,100!

Final edit: £102.

£102 now! :-D

£6.50!!!

£10.50 now.

Soon Nick, Trevor, Fadil and Dave will be able to club together for it. Out of the phone box into the BB house - I don't know which is worse...

Yea but then we have a dilema, who will go in the house? Nick, Trevor, Fadil or Dave E? You decide!

Hmm. The Bid Retraction/Cancellation history makes interesting reading:-

I can't actually decide whether this is actually a scam or whether the guy actually has a real ticket or not. I guess the buyers couldn't decide either, hence the insanely low price of £10.50 being the winning bid.
The poor quality photo might be a good sign, but the item description is a bit brief. I don't know what to make of this one.

I'd probably go for Nick. Fadil might be entertaining though - apparently he had to tone his language down while on the DoND because his language was the same colour as the box he ended up with!
