Karting Nord Ticket on Ebay
« on: February 24, 2004, 03:20:16 pm »
There is a KN ticket on ebay at the moment the bid value is  £46 as I type, there is only 4 days left.

Not sure what anyone thinks but just thought I'd let you know.

I suppose I'll have to read back through last year, but I think we decided not to link to tickets on eBay, or even MENTION eBay by name...

Not wanting to encourage them, was the theory

I mentioned it and got promptly deleted, Which in hindsight was the right thing for Smokie to do, as some of the profiteering that goes on is obscene,I am conviced that I got hoodwinked last year into selling a Grandstand(ACO) ticket at face value to a tout.

I'm continually amazed at how much over face value people are prepared to pay on auction sites.

The whole practice is pretty diabolical.

I saw an auction on Ebay where it was up at £0.01 and was advice on how to get tickets for the Monaco GP rather than but thru an auction....

We could take it in turns having an auction with a link to this forum  ;D

Sorry smokie, didn't realise about the ebay ban. I think the whole practice is bad but just thought that with the scramble for tickets every chance should be highlighted.

My wrists have been slapped!!!
