McDonalds Monopoly!! Check This Out!! Sellers Making ££££££

My colleague at work is obsessed with this monoply game at Mcd's so much so hes eating it twice a DAY 5 times a week!! :eek: :eek: :eek: yet he has nothing on him... :mad:

Anyways we must have been talking and he mention that people are selling these vouchers/stickers on ebay!! and they are making loads of dosh... So i came home and had a look online and its true sellers are making some serious money.

£3,000 for 9 vouchers!! this auction sold for 3100 but the buyer didnt pay yet the bid before this was 3000!! are people mad???

People are spending stupid money on Park lane because if you own Mayfair you can win £100,000

So some seller has come up with a money making technique. Check out this seller

He really is MAD, but what really made me laugh was when i saw this
"Also some info you may need ther is 70,000 places in this drawn. And the Mayfair voucher will be won and not sold and if all of the places are not sold by the 30th March the drawn will still take place." :rotfl: :rotfl:

Ebay never fails to suprize me, but i wonder is this legal??

Have a laugh my luvlies :rotfl: :p :rotfl:

    I don't think the seller will ever get that money from the buyer:

    i was talking about pargolfstore the bidder ;) sorry for the confusion he bid 3000 and his feedback is solid, even though the seller may not have the goods the buyer is willing to shell out that much its madness :rotfl: :rotfl:

    they probably work at the factory that prints these things,and they have done a special EXTRA run of the mayfair for ebay ;)

    If they do release two park lanes to go with the mayfair above then check out this auction. Someone could be on to a winner or the original auction posted for £3000 probably isn't legit.

    According to the game regulations there were 10,000 Park Lane stickers printed, and 2 Mayfairs. The Park Lane sticker is the one to make everyone think they are on a huge winning streak and go out and buy more McD'S! People that have Mayfair could pick up a Park Lane within a few visits so no need to buy. I actually now think that the Mayfair auction guy (the one mentioned earlier in this thread with the lottery type idea to auction the sticker...) has photoshopped a different sticker and is going to pick his mate or a fake bidder to 'win' the thing - listing on 10p listing day so that it doesn't cost him much too!. (my opinion only!). I doubt such a savvy eBayer would fail to notice the matching Park Lanes on sale for 99p no reserve and not nip off to claim his £100,000 winnings pretty sharpish. The whole messing about with a lottery is a bit weird and prohibited by eBay policies, bet the auctions are pulled soon.
