Yep, going for up to £50 on eBay.
So if you take £10 away for eBay fees and shipping, that's still £40 off your car insurance (assuming you don't have kids who would probably kill/disown you for selling it).

Whoever came up with the idea of giving away cute toys is a genius. In contrast, Confused.com and Go Compare can take a running jump with their fecking annoying marketing campaign!!

£50 for a teddy from a car insurance advertising campaign . What's wrong with people, maybe I just don't get it.

Yes mine should be on it's way as I've just renewed the wife's insurance. Always use the Meerkats, won't use confused.com as they support Brake.

Do you have a link? I can't see any individual one's going for that price, £53 for 3 which is still pretty high: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/compare-the-meerkat-toy-...

I have 3 will be 4 when Oleg arrives. Who do you use then that isn't on the Meerkats? Our renewal on the Eunos was £478 & after talking to the Meerkats got a similar deal for £276

Our Oleg arrived on Wednesday, sold yesterday for £50 dead + £3.99 postage.
That's not a bad kickback on the wife's insurance which wasn't much more than £200 anyway.
£45 profit just for buying car insurance, why wouldn't you!

My mum's Oleg arrived yesterday. She's already treating him like he's real. Even mentioned putting him to bed when we spoke on the phone earlier. We're all ruddy nuts in our family so it;s no shock wink

Saved £300 on her renewal with them smile
