McDonalds Game Sticker on Ebay

I was browsing on ebay for the Mcdonalds VIP card that has been discussed on these forums and came accross a seller who was selling a monopoly sticker and did not say which one it was apart from "mystery sticker you may need to complete your collection".

The sticker sold for £7.50 with the buyer not knowing what they have bought, I have about six stickers and may put them on after seeing this auction but I could not believe what people actually buy

Here is the auction number - 6618768808

    I can't believe anyone would actually bid on such an auction without actually knowing what it is that you were bidding on.

    Local pickup only is kind of weird for a sticker.

    It's apparent that the seller can't spell either. Maybe there is a genuine reason for this but nevertheless I notice these things on auctions.

    I noticed the local pick up only, maybe some sort of mistake?

    Might copy their listing (I know some people don't like that) and see if I can sell my stickers for a couple of pound each

    People will bid on anything these days

    Yeah the local pickup only may well be a mistake, they are fairly new to eBay after all.

    Why copy his/her listing, I'm sure you could write a better description than that. If you do copy it, remember to correct the spelling mistakes :)

    Every little helps as they say...

    Good Luck.

    The picture clearly implies that the card is Coventry Street which is one of the rare ones. Another one of the "too good to be true" brigade.
    Can I help?

    Think I will be the one who is "loving it" if I could sell them sticks for that much each as it would be a nicer earner seeing that you get two stickers on Large fries and Large soft drinks.

    I will post my results if I sell any

    I know we did people selling ordinary Monopoly game cards last week but item 6268314400 just about takes the biscuit.
    What I can't understand is how positive feedback has been left so soon; surely the buyer can't have received it yet.
    As for "I HAVE NO PICTURE AS I DO NOT PERSONALLY OWN A DIGITAL CAMERA", how have they photographed all of their other items?
    Edit: Just read the feedback that the seller left the buyer - very odd :confused:

    The buyer left this feedback for the seller - "Great Ebayer, thanks for helping me get a holiday this year : )"

    Yet the seller left this - "YOU DIDNT WIN!!!call it a draw!!! but very polite and well mannered. good luck"

    I'm confused!

    edit: rdwarr was editing as I was typing!

    I've just put in an offer of 1p on this one.
    OK, I know it's worthless but, if I won, the seller would lose on postage ;)
    Look at their other items - do you think that Liverpool Street and Bond Street really are as described?
    Can I help?

    I've had the "declined" notice now. And I was onto half of £100,000 ;)
    Can I help?

    I (somewhat cheekily) asked if the picture in one of their other auctions was of the actual item. They replied:
    hi, this is th eexact item and i took the picture myself. if you purchase this item and find that it is not the one in the pitue i will give you a 200% refund.
    Amazing how people will sell their souls for a few quid :eek:
