That's a missed opportunity

London 2012 Olympic Torch | eBay

Don't people realise that there are 8000 of these things?

That values the whole torch relay paraphenalia at over One Billion Pounds. They could have staged the whole show for that with some sensible budgetting and flogged the torches off to pay for it

Is the whole world mad, or just me?





Rules are for the guidance of wise men ... and the obedience of fools. (anon)

If all people are bidding for is a photo that's all you have to send!


Edit: just seen what these are going for! I'd sell it if I had one, would pay off most of my mortgage!

There is a photo on there now and it has got to £30k!!!!

Three people have asked questions and the seller has clearly stated it is a photo. I wonder if the highest bidder has realised!
