    Just sent him a question to ask , lets see if he replies honestly :rolleyes:
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    Thats what I thought, especially looking at the retractions, either that or they've wised up.

    What is it they say about never trusting a 0 feedback ?, especially when they've only just registered :p

    Has anyone contacted the highest bidder to see if he knows what he is actually bidding on?

    (I had noticed it was a scam earlier but thought it would be interesting to see who else noticed it) As I have nothing better today):rotfl:

    The highest bidder obviously has no intention of paying as they signed up recently. They probably dont want anyone to get ripped off so will just keep bidding and bidding until they win and then just not pay.

    In a word, no.

    The auction has been won by a zero-feedback bidder called ripoffkiller1000. I somehow doubt he's going to pay up :rolleyes:

    this is absouloutley fantastic

    just another proof that people / buyers are total morons :-)

    I may just set an auction up like this myself, i've a few spare monopoly boards at home

    personally i see nothing wrong with the auction AT ALL

    he's selling a monopoly game card,

    if I purchased this item, i'd fully expect to receive a card, from the board game that is liverpool street

    well done to the seller in this case
    money saving my @rse.
    I've spent 10x as much as I would if I had never discovered this website :-)
