No £999,999.00 is not a million!!

No. You're right. It's a whole pound short. :rotfl:

You didn't really think that someone was buying them for that price, did you? :rotfl:

Just looked, the winning bidder has more than 500 feedback?
Do doubt they would bid as could be liable to a claim in small claims for that sum!!

I think it's true, that's how much it sold for!

except that the limit for the small claims court is something like £5000, I'd take the npb hit just to upset a ticket tout.

These people are 'bid spoilers' like as someone has already said out to teach the seller a lesson for being greedy, it ties up time to sort out and while the sorting out is going on the seller can not relist the item!!!

I had four front row tickets to a Quo concert a couple of years ago and then a week before there was a serious family crisis so we knew we couldt go.

I put the tickets on for a low start and also a buy now for face value, and within a minute there was a bid, so the buy now went off as an option which I never thought of, when I listed it as auction:o

The tickets ended up selling for twenty times the face value, I just took the money that I spent out, i.e tickets, postage and e bay/paypal fees and then split the rest of the money between my favourite charities and a acharity the band was supporting. True fans dont buy tickets to become touts!!!

seller could just list item again as another listing and write the other one off as no longer available

The idiots wanting to make a fortune by buying the tickets today and selling them on, will have a headache sorting out the mess (well, thats the plan by some anyway)

Who's the more pathetic the seller or the Muppets with nothing better to do than sabotage peoples auctions. If people want to buy them that's their choice. If there was no demand people wouldn't sell them and the touts would be gone.

It's all rather childish really and reeks of jealousy.

No never sold tickets. Never would as it's a minefield and too many risks for me also I have better music taste than that. I just find it rather Pathetic and childish when people auction wreck because they don't agree with a seller when a seller is within listing rules.

I left Playground antics behind when I left school.
