Does it come with a free box of Matches and an Aerosol of Lighter gas?

I guess that would depend on who actually owned it and who actually had a right to sell it.

How many of these things were made?

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..

"You are bidding on an photo of an authentic London 2012 Olympic Torch used in the torch relay. The torch is made up of an inner and an outer aluminium alloy skin, held in place by a cast top piece and base, perforated by 8,000 circles and stands 800mm high."

£150,000 for a photo!

£150.000.000 for a torch!!

Totally right if I had one to sell.

150K !! FFs, 3 new Vitos, and £24K left for a holiday!

Na , just wait until the turning circle is scraped this year you could include the E7s instead, and save even more

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

Grandad,

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

This just Typifies the Modern Olympics...Its No longer about an Amateur approach to Sport uniting the world and all about Commercialisation and making a Profit.

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?
