C'mon guys, Doris shaves her locks off on Saturday, you should be ashamed this piece of memorabilia is going for a song.  It's a very worthy cause, this won't even cover the cost of a good hat to keep her head warm.

Somebody has now upped the stakes , MB ticket now on E B*y

[Fran]

Well at least they have started at £1 and left it to market forces - not like those that put in £100 starting bids!

Sold for 87 pounds.

To your good self I think, Knetter101,Am I right?

[knetter]

Yes! I am not in favour of buying the tickets through this site, but we are still running short on tickets for MB and better safe than sorry. If we have to wait for the ACO to cough up the tickets, we'd be all dead and burried.

[Piglet]

I know what you mean Knetter, it wasn't a bad price though, not much over the odds.

[rcutler]

It would have been over the odds if I had been bidding aswell. I spoke with Knetter about how high he was going so as we make sure we do not inflate each others prices. Beside he got there first. I may apply for my tickets through the ACO next year using a French Postal address.

P.S. I am not moving over there (yet anyway)!!

The price went up from 50 to 87 in about 25 minutes. But in the last 10 secs I squeezed my bid in and luckely I won. If Rick would have had the amount he wanted to spend for it, I would have not been able and willing to match it, but he could not get the funds together.

Like I said before Rick, if we have any luck in securing more tickets than we need, you are the first to know about it. Paddy absolutely agreed on this as well. We'll keep you posted.

Knetter, I hope this makes you feel better.  I spent £100 on an MB pass 10 years ago, through Motor Racing Rippoffs International.  In those days thay had spare tickets in April.  The thing on the left was going to Maison Blanche come hell or high water (Mostly high water - it pissed down on the way back, enough to submerge the entire exhaust at one point).  Driving an open car is fun till you hit 30 cm of water (thats a foot in old money)

If they're £87 in February, how much will they be in May?

Good luck on more MB passes.

[knetter]

Thanks,

We have 6 confirmed know. If those are all we are going to get, we just have to fight of the ACO again like last year when we only had 4 tickets and 9 cars!! I love those guys at the gate, give 'm some pot and they will do everything you want!!

The best way to ensure you get what you want and not pay over the odds is to use one of the 'sniping' systems.

Google 'ebay sniping' and you should get some options.

I am not sure the price will go up much more in may, last year the prices fell in the weeks leading up to june as supply outstripped demand.

Good luck in finding what your after.

We'll follow you in then!!  Got one pass, still in need of one more!

I've just picked up a MB pass on "that site" for £105 "buy it now". 

TBH I'm really pi$$ed off with myself for having done it but at least the guy had put a semi decent price on it - there is another one on there that is up to £175 with 2 days to go!!!   I think I struck lucky that nobody had spotted the buy it now one.

It now looks like we might be having three cars instead of two so we're still short of a pass!!
