TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE???

WORTH A PUNT???

I am almost convinced this is our friend from Belgium. It is easy to register an account in a different country. Unless he has moved he is in Mons.

Amazingly bidding has shot up to £5K on this record....

Bet the ''seller'' is pissing his pants at the thought.

WOOF!

9.5K top bid now - well done Pikey's Dog - top man!!!

Yes amazing Joe.... brilliant ....

How do you prove to ebay that a new account has been set up by a scammer? I wonder if he as a seller would also pay ebay their percentage and fees, or avoid that somehow? You need a credit card to set up a selling account with ebay and you think they would block ones that have been abused from setting up new accounts?

I wonder at what point do the Ebay geeks in California wake up and pull it?

Such fun this

Think I saw you ordering a drink in Playa del Mar a few years ago Rog.

(Very, VERY LOUDLY)  'One-o bottle-o of beer-o pour favour'

And the job was done

That's right, and when I asked a local where the airport was I just stood there with my arms outstretched rocking from side to side and said 'Biggo silver birdo, Manuel?' and funnily enough he didn't know what I was saying. Can't think why!!

Up to $10,000 now......

I suppose if the scumbag's going to try and pull stunts like this with records it's more than feasible he'll have a good supply of stolen credit card numbers.

Usually never .... many just go through and end.... then I suppose the "seller" then gets de-registered when eBay don't get their bit.... been a fair few like that ....

Ah well we will have some more fun out of this then for at least another day - though as Rog says it is a very disappointing development. Big up to the Soul - Sourcers who have potentially risked a sacrificial "negative feedback" in order to expose this crook.

Up to $10,000 now......

WOOF!

Brilliant! Any chance it could make $20,000?

Ah dear....The things that help us through the day

Don't see why not.....

WOOF!

biddings gone mad!

Hilarious

I reckon Sneaky bugger is one of his mates, and he is just trying to get a decnet price for the item.

$50K ?

Consider it done.

WOOF!

Must be the highest priced Northern Soul 45...... currently fetching £40K with a day to go........

Wonder if p-k, c-c or t-m-s get "second chance" offers ....

What are the odds he just happens to have multiple copies?

Anyone else care to have a bid?

I can *guarantee* you'll not beat sneaky_bugger

WOOF!

He'll have to end the auction soon - the number of high bids will be making him shite himself at the level of the eBay fees.

We need some other bidders now so that he has to manually cancel all of the bids.......

Oh the addiction of northern soul..................................

Someone should ask him if it is the version WITHOUT the Church Choir backing, as you have the rarer Church Choir backing but want the one without....but then again why bother - why no action from E Bay then?

Ebay are proberly reading this now,and having good giggle,if they pulled the the thing,it would be the end o this threid, and it is quiet funny this,not like some of the stuff on here.

Just about to bid. Can't get into my account so am using a friend's account. I'll put $250,000 on, someone go that big higher

....or maybe not. Just been told to enter a bid of more than $15,000 I must verify card, and obviously I can't...

Fantastically funny and a little bit of revenge for the honest folks - it will have to go in Tim Brown's book now at that price and he won't be able to blag about Frank Wilson anymore

Girl's blouse. No, you pay the total of the bid on the auction, nothing else, unless you snipe it Scaredy cat. I imagine that an appropriate response to any attempt to recover such an amount would both begin and end in "f".

Anyone feel like asking a question on the listing itself for posterity's sake? Maybe linking this thread?

Yes, just mail him and say . . . 'Vous etes un tete de knob et un wipe de arse et un f*cker de votre mere' . . . he should gettez le message.

This excellent alternative on-line disctionary should provide many of the words that you need:

I love the use of "the redcoats are coming" for Japanese flag day. They love us lot them frenchies.

You evil, evil people

Just come in from work and read the whole thread. Absolutely brilliant.

Well done.

Not sure if it's a Paypal thing or having a credit card on file with eBay.. the thing about $15,000 shows up when I'm signed in (not tried to bid).. am verified with Paypal but the card I had registered with eBay has expired... just reminded me I need to do something about that actually lol....

Same here Rach.... did first few bids via ebay.co.uk.... now just tried via ebay.com as notice showed.... still no probs.... deffo reason stated earlier.... presume if not "verified" via Payal to show have a legit card then can't bid.... even if seller states Western Union (BidPay) as way to pay because eBay no your good for it ....

Cheers to Dukesy for starting this one off.

What an "authenticity" beauty

Hey - have we got a new euphamism - "did you spill my authenticity pint?"

Godz

Crikey,

Just bid a million dollars and was (thankfully) immediately outbid.

Almost cacked myself just pressing the "confirm Bid" button! Scariest thing I've ever done.

Time for a lie down
