I'm confused about the auction for this stupid hat. Google said the auction had been stopped, but ebay still have a link to the auction at £80.000! there is also the new listing which is at £5,600 with only four bids. An explanation which was sent to bidders from ebay stated the following..
"Princess Beatrice Royal Wedding Hat by Philip Treacy was removed from eBay for breaching of one or more of our listing policies. Any offers or bids that you placed on this listing are now null and void; you don't have to complete this transaction.

This listing was removed because it was listed incorrectly; therefore, the seller is free to re-list the item in the correct format. If you want to, feel free to bid on the item again if it's re-listed."
:? :? :? :? :?

That is all very strange--why was this not discovered before--it has been on for nearly 10 days !!

I wondered why it had vanished from my "Watch list".

This gets curiouser--it is now on Ebay--starting price £80,000---23 hours to go--no bids as yet--I am mystified as to what is going on here.

Very strange! Maybe ebay decided the first auction was okay after all. :wink:
They are even reporting about it on BBC Breakfast this morning as it ends today apparently. :D

The end result of the auction fetched £81.000. Obviously just a very nice and generous gesture to go to charities that will benefit, after all it's not like gold that can be melted down. :)
