Wonder what happened to the car that was bobbing around outside Jenny's, I remember her saying no one had collected it.

Hope the winning bidder pays up and it doesn't end up being an 'unpaid item' case for the seller!

The money is going to a flood relief charity apparently which will be a good thing...

I hope so. Fact is no one can force an eBay 'winner' to pay.

Non paying bidders are the bane of eBay Sellers' lives. Second chance automatically goes to next bidder down.

Hope it was a philanthropist and the charity DOES get the money.

I heard the owner being interviewed when he went to collect the car and I think its really nice that a flood charity will make something out of it. Did you see the state of it though when he opened the car door for the first time

June, that silver car in the road outside our house was finally collected and taken to be scrapped. It turned out it belonged to a friend of a resident.

Little update on this one - the bid did apparently turn out to be a fake. I'm not surprised.

http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/21/boy-12...evels-4672392/

Hubert Zajaczkowski had put his flood-damaged Seat Toledo up for sale on the auction site last week and hoped to donate the final £101,100 bid to charity.

But he was disheartened to find out that the staggering offer for his car turned out to be a fake by a 12-year-old boy being egged on by his older brother.

‘I was quite shocked how high the bidding was. But I did contact the top bidder and he was not legit,’ Mr Zajaczkowski told the Central Somerset Gazette.
