I just found this bit of Info from a torch bearer: "Every one of the 8000 bearers has the chance to keep their own torch. They cost £205 for most people but because Coca-Cola are sponsoring me through it they're paying for it for me" Feck me, the Olympic shower are not P1ss wise if they wasted £1,640,000 on torches when the whole idea was it's supposed to be a torch relay...One bloody torch would have done the job, That's Criminally wasteful of peoples money.. |

Could it be possible that bidders are just taking the pi55 with the bids? |

I don't think ebay should have allowed this to take place without first establishing provenance it might turn out that this was a stolen torch not used in the relay If it is genuine then I hope the seller donates some of the profits to the olympics definitely not in the olympic spirit |

I would laugh my nuts off if some Nigerian scam artist bought it, transferred the money into the account of the seller [now the buyer knows the bank details of the seller], collected the Olympic torch in person and then nicked the money back out of the account he had paid it into. |

How do they know the bank details of the seller? The seller MIGHT ask the buyer to pay such a large sum directly into the seller's bank account. I doubt if PayPal deal in such large amounts, but I could be wrong. |

Shame by the title I thought you were referring to the whole Olympics. Interesting how again the goyim fight each other over the scraps, yet you're not typing rage at the gravy train for the huge list of corporations that have and are making massive sums from YOU the tax payer. Like all major events its nothing more than a money making operation. New England football kit anyone? |
