Hi All,

This was mentioned in today's copy of the free METRO newspaper (page 9). I've managed to locate the actual sale itself, and now you too, can all share in the wonders of the "Biggest Pile Of Crap On e-Bay"! Perfectly family-friendly auction. See here for details of the auction!

Hi,

The best thing about this sale, is that it cost the poor sod £6-15 to place the item on e-Bay in the first place! Read the various Questions that have been asked by the public! Some good stuff there.

Yup.
Its things like this that really show you just how good the Great British sense of humour is, and thaat the average Joe is a decent sort and not out to wack you over the head with bat and nick your watch.
Good on you son

Nice to see it going to charity though.
