    Its only an auction to obtain the 'sale of particulars' (information about the land) from the auctioneers, this can also be obtained by phoning the auctioneers for free on the number listed in the auction... Its a clever bit of marketing cos it is bringing big attention to the sale of such a small piece of land (cant remember if it was 12ftx12ft or 12mx12m??)

    I'm not sure why people have bid tho, they can't hav read the auction...???

    odd!

    'Tis where I live in the sticks Rachie. I think our miniscule shed cost more ;)

    But it's not nice if it's just for info is it? But what's that saying? Caveat Emptor or something?

    I think most of you have missed the entire point.

    It's not a scam.
    It's an ADVERT for the Land Auction.
    NOT an auction for the land itself but the fact that this plot of land is actually up for sale by auction. It tells you WHEN & WHERE.
    Also tells you that you can dowload the same information from a link that is provided. Also details of the auctioneers and that they will send you the same information FREE OF CHARGE !

    The bidders are obviously IDIOTS - I presume they cannot read. If they can read then they DO NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.

    If their brain cells where replaced with the equivalent amount of dynamite there would be insufficient explosive power to blow their hat off !
    There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›

    So it's a link? Can I copy something from the local rag and bang it on eBay then and that's ok ethically?
