£8000?? Surely not??

[TonyRPH]

Is this really worth £8k ???

Surely there's an extra zero that shouldn't be in that price!

[folos]

£2500 tops i'd say

[y2blade]

Not on your nelly mate.

A couple of grand tops would be my guess

Lol in beige its big pimpin add another 0 on the end and you are getting warm! 11bids up to that price someone must be taking the p155 with no intention of paying.

[lyricalgangster]

Its now at ten grand!!!!!

Whats going on?

serious shill bidding?

[P155flaps]

Now £10k I may have to bid £50k just to make sure I don't miss out!

That's also worth a post on hotukdeals - the bargin hunters on there would st the bed

I'm 90% sure I sold that car circa 2002 - 2003, it probably wasn't that much more than 8k at the time!

I thought that I had stumbled upon the VW Passat titanium edition, with solid gold wheels, titanium engine and fuelled by fart gas.

Ah that explains it, you on the log book as a previous owner adds the £8k premium :-)

This is what fks me off about Ebay, it is so dam obvious when people set up 'spare' accounts or get their mates to bid on their items then retract bids yet even when it is flagged Ebay do bugger all. Call me a cynic but it's clearly in Ebays best interest to not investigate shill bidding as a higher price creates more £££ in fees.

Might not be relevant, could this be anything to with money laundering? Or shall we just stick to Occam's Razor (as mentioned above!).

It went onto a private plate e3pss from 03->05 then back to the original, which fits with your timeframe?
