    You know, on reflection though, despite the absolute joy I had at pippas winning bid - its incredibly sad that despite who knows how many emails and contacts made to ebay, they did nothing about this.
    Totally agree - sure the media would love a story like this... ;)

    Possibly he was making some bids -
    but most were likely innocent/naive

    also sad that people don't read the listings thoroughly...its buyer beware on eBay...so many rats willing to prey on the susceptible these days..

    (*susceptible*...oooh didn't mean to sound so judgemental...could have been caught myself a few times)

    nice to know there are some decent people who care enough to look out for others.... :-*
    Nice to save.

    perhaps someone could contact ( I'm maxed out) the "late  losing bidders" in case he tries to second chance them

    Well my bids were outbid all the way even at £1,000000 I still got told I did not bid enough.

    Well done pippa clearly you have more money than me :o
