Has anyone noticed that the one here (eBay item # 190681453008) for £150,200.00 (when I checked - 69 bids) is actually for a photograph of an Olympic Torch?

well i seem to remember someone on tv saying the olympics would create much revenue within the uk - wonder if this is what they were refeering too

personally would not give you 30 bob for one, they look cheap and tacky, then again lets look at the olympics as a whole, whats it cost the country to hold it here, whats it actually going to make as a profit or will it like the milenium dome be another overpriced cockup that the taxpayer bears the brunt of

A bit of perforated sheet and a can of gold spray paint and you'd be away. You could even cut a section out of the drum from an old tumble dryer.

I also had a look at the bid history why would the same person repeatedly outbid themselves, and not one but a number of different bidders did the same thing?
