They're not witholding them, the person who deals with it was off.

That's all.

Report it to the Police!

When purchasing from Bumblebee they advise of the erratic working hours of those in a position to release goods and recommend you call them before hand to make collection arrangements, did you do this? If not you don't have much of a complaint sorry.

Yesterday was Saturday - Most offices will be closed - not all police staff work 24hrs!

You're lucky to find a police station open these days and even luckier to find a policeman.

Even better, what is a Bumblebee auction?!

I think it's an auction of goods police have seized. For example, one I saw was for three pairs of ladies briefs in a M & S bag. Another one was make-up from Superdrug.

You bid for bumblebees price increases by size - no good for me I'm frightened of bees.

Nov 02, 2007 Charles Subject: Bumblebee Have you not stopped to think how much your auction items would make in your auction if you listed sizes .Who in there right mind would bid at an auction for items that the auctioneer was incapable of listing correctly. For instance a bike frame size or jewelry ring size no one would bye eney thing not knowing the correct size. Some of your photos are out of focus with nothing to verify there size in the picture and very poor for a professional company amatures on ebay do better is it just incompetence or some thing more sinister, Look forward to your coming auctions.If this letter is best sent to the people that are paying you for your service please advise .

I would also stress that the Police themselves list the items not us as the auction site, we run the site for them. They only have a requirement to list items on a factual basis and as such only need by law to sell the item at Public auction. You have to remember that the items are listed by hard working Police property officers that do not have the time nor expertise on every item that the have to dispose of to do an eBay type description. That said as they do more auctions they do learn to add things like sizes but they have no requirement to do that. I hope that answers your questions.
