I will tot these up and close this for new entries at some point over the weekend (or Monday, depending on how busy I am - so almost certainly over the weekend) so if you have not got a price on do it now.

 

For clarification the cost will be the final auction cost and will not include tax on top as I can be arsed working out how much that is etc.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Is the prize still awarded if the winning bidder writes to outlaws mate 2 mins after the end of the auction saying that his yucca plant bid on it, cannot collect it for 3 months, item is not as described etc etc.

Is that likely to happen if the auction finishes at £205? I did not even know you had a yucca.

I have a massive Yucca, but in the interests of fairness and transparency I will move it away from the computer and take a photo of it holding some custard with today’s date on it

[outlaw118]

It's all over. It's off ebay, apparently someone his dad knows / works with wants it, and negotiations are under way.

I'm a bit pissed off now, as I was looking forward to seeing the prize Mr Imp had arranged, and more looking forward to having to send an unpaid item dispute against Mr Bo11ox's Yucca plant.

 

I'll resurrect this and the 4 sayle thread if it all goes to shit. Which it probably will.

[cort16]

Oh ffs sake I want my £218.74p back.

If you find out how much it actually sold for I will still honour the prize. If he has sold it to someone he sort-of-knows I suspect it will be to the highest bidder on here which I think is Beko1987 with £410.

 

I notice some people were not checking the previous amounts guessed. We had a range of £401 between the highest and lowest numbers of which 28 numbers were already taken but we still had 4 duplicates. So despite there being 373 different numbers to choose from the same ones were picked. I am not a statistician but thats quite random. Suppose its just around the amount people expect it to go for. Hopefully it won't go for one of them as I don't want to buy two prizes. I suppose I could just cut one in half though.

 

Here are the guesses. Let me know if I have got any wrong and apologies for any spelling mistakes.

Fucking excel and its fucking rounding. I class myself as a bit of an expert at excel and yet I fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

In that case there is only one duplicate. My bad. 

[beko1987]

[RedSparrow]

Oops, sorry. Shitpeas was first with 180.

Oops, sorry. Shitpeas was first with 180.

 

 

I'll hapilly cut whatever the prize is in half?

 

Unless its a cat.

[HillmanImp]

Did this actually sell in the end? Do we have a final price?
