On e-bay (according to my book) this dude put up for bid, a standard £1 coin.
Guess how much he got for it? £90,000. This was a normal coin. Then, he sold his story to papers/tabloids to gain double that. He was so popular in the news, papers etc. he made £1,000,000! This was just from a standard £1 coin.
Also, a dude sold a Tesco bag for £4 :p.
Oo arr... Why would you pay more than a pound for a pound?! How strange... Some people do the strangest things :')
Yeah lol thats so odd... :rolleyes:
Maybe they thought the pound was a 'special' pound...though I don't think there is one :p
Life's confusing :p
Actually The Papparazzi :D
Told us that he put up a pound and recived £1.40 Back :s
Wow, I'm tempted to put a shiny penny onto ebay and see what people bid for it :D
:d lol.
Wheres My Plastic Bags :D
Lol maybe the person was from anotha continent and thought it was amazing....or they were jst stupid :p
Maybe,
Or It Was A Government Conspiracy?
Or The BoogeyMan Wanted It.
*Hears Sound*
THE BOOGEYMAN!!!
*SCREAMS!!!!*
*screams!* Aaahhh nooooooooooooooo *does matrix slo-mo and whacks the boogeyman with a baseball bat* :p and as for a goverment conspiracy...naa
Im going to auction hundreds of bags and get £100's of punds.
Some people must be mad to pay more money for less money :s
Ye that guy was crazy....so its all good.. ;)
People buy things off eBay for fun, I remember a few years back I went in to my Mum's Workplace and the person on the next computer was bidding for a spanish insruction manual. She couldn't understand spanish. Aye, yai, yai...
Sell some used socks, you get like £9.
I thought when you sold things online they were cheaper :s
I'll sell my school books. I'll get a LOT of money for that. I mean, some kid in Asia could learn how to write english with my books :p
It's actually an incredibly good idea because as was pointed out in the original post, he went on to recieve so much publicity that he made a load more back :rolleyes:
People will buy anything or collect anything. I remember there was a woman on tv who collected crisps because she said they looked like people. * coo coo*
:rolleyes: People buy/collect like pointless stuff on there.. i.e crisps :confused_
Well, its not my fault if they are crazy :p
Omg lol very good way of making money
Yeah, i feel kinda sorry for the guy who bought the pound...but its his fault :p
No..I dont believe that, why in the world would anyone give so much for a coin, even if it WAS a special coin, WHY! Its not possible, I dont think someone has that kind of money to spend on one, ONE!!, coin.
I think $ 1000 really is the limit for a coin (I couldn't find the pound sign on my dutch keyboard :p)
Anyways, people do buy and sell crazy stuff.
Someone offered alot of coke on Ebay. Also someone sold his soul on Ebay.
Alot of crazy stuff is offered on Ebay, from toenails to souls, simple rocks to huge diamants...
omg!! who was the freak who bought the coin?? i dont think he must have been write in the head ya no! 90,000 for a £1 coin! and also, hu would want to buy a tesco bag for £4, i wouldnt even pay for one!!!!!!1Quote:

Wow...thats a bit ignorant of the man. He could have probably sought out a person and bought it off a person who had no need of their pound coin for maybe 1/10,000 of the price. But oh well, somebody does ahve to win and somebody does have to lose
If someone put a dollar up, it will sell for about -£1, 000, 000. I think it is because the pound is infact the most valuableist coin on the Earth, then Barmy Blair is seeing if we can join the Euro, I hope he is out of office then!
thats rudicrous! but funny
