    The above stickers are the rare ones. If you have any, then you have effectively one the prize. If you want to swap, know their worth!

    If you do have even one of them, it is worth spending a fortune in Maccy D's as you will win!

    Here is the value of the below:

    Marlborough Street / Blaster RS12 Peugeot Scooters
    Old Kent Road / Sont Ericsson K800i
    Strand / Thomas Cook Holiday
    Mayfair / House
    Northumberland Avenue / 30GB Ipod
    Bond Street / £100,000 cash
    Coventry Street / Porcshe Boxter
    Euston Road / Nintendo DS Lite
    Liverpool Street Station / Sony Bravia HD TV

    Don't let people take advantage :mad:

    hmm... intriguing.

    *Board Guide Note*

    I have removed a post from this thread asking to swap and/or buy McDonalds Monopoly vouchers. Swapping and selling are not allowed on this forum, unfortunately.

    Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: For legal reasons I have to discourage swapping, buying and selling on the forum (please see this rule). While it can be a very useful way of saving money it relies on a certain amount of trust between members and as such can cause problems (and has in the past). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="%20abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Tried looking for my monopoly game, couldnt find it, rang my gran though, gonna go get some cards off her tomorrow.
    I honestly dont see how its ripping people off, they dont mention mcdonalds at all. If the buyers are stupid enough people, to buy one ebay, then its their own fault, it makes it worse that they cant read ebay auctions properly. No doubt that seller will have a few negs in a few days too.

    I could have sworn I saw a Bond Street when I gave some to some kids, ah well, I'll know if I see them in the paper. :)
    As a PowerSeller, I never leave feedback first. The reason I do this is because I know how much it winds the people on the forums up... :beer:

    On 2nd thoughts, im going to dig out my old monopoly game from the attic this evening, and get listing, exaclty like the other persons. Nothing against it in ebay rules, if people are dumb enough to bid on it, without having the word mcdonalds in there, then so be it!

    IMO you are deliberately setting out with the intention of defrauding buyers.

    Although omitting the word McDonalds from the listing you know you are trying to sell these cards hoping that people will assume that is where they came from.

    Any feedback of "conman" you may receive would be richly deserved IMO.

    I'd watch yourself if you get a load of CC chargebacks your likely to loose your paypal account.

    Surely if you are just advertising it as a Monopoly card then you aren't actually falsely advertising. What it says is what you are getting.

    I don't see how a buyer would win a PayPal claim/Credit card chargeback.

    It does seem a little dishonest listing normal Monopoly cards but then again the buyer should read the auction and ask the appropriate questions prior to bidding and not assume it's a McDonald's Monopoly card.

    Woohoo! I'm normal! Gotta go tell the cat.

    You can get your CC company to charge back for anything you like for purchases over £100.
    If the buyer is concerned that their CC company may actually investigate the claim then all they have to say is they were posted an empty envelope..... And likewise for purchases under £100 a paypal item not as described dispute for an empty envelope is likely to be successful given the shady nature of this listing.
