The Best Item Ever on Ebay
 

Someone has just listed an Avro Vulcan on ebay, a snip at 6 grand, now if only my back garden was big enough !!!

He'll be lucky to get 6 bob let alone 6 grand......It's a shed literaly rotting into the deck!!

VEEPS:(

My God! Someone's bid on it!!!!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...530699633&rd=1

Buyer collects!! Anybody out there current on one?

Maybe Beags ????

If i was a very rich guy, of which there are plenty these days, i would definatly by it. Just to get out of bed on a morning and look at of your window to see a Vulcan on your drive.

Can picture seen........

'you wanna go to London for the weeknd ? Shall we take the Merc or the Vulcan'

At lease you'd avoid the congestion charge. Although, landing fees could be an issue.

I am a bit concerned about the Bidder. I reckon he is a spotty youth who has bid on it after a wet dream. Look at the items he has bid on here . For the non ebayers amongst you, click on the item number in blue on the extreme right hand side. These are the items the bidder has bought or sold in the past. I bet he won't come through with the money.

Although he did sell this, amybe he was saving for the Vulcan?

And sold this-

"Original item, recovered from former RAF Banff dump. Yoke stuck in position shown."

Lots of star wars, comics and Status quo memorabilia, makes me suspicous.:p

<<Shall we take the Merc or the Vulcan'>>

You'd need the Merc. Vulcans haven't been allowed in the London Control Zone since Princess Margaret's wedding. ANO Article 608, para 423, (a) XVII (z), sub-section D(iii) refers...

Blatant victimisation here. Suggest we all get a petition going, after all why shouldn't Mr Spock be allowed in London?

After reading your post, would I be right in thinking, that she will take a bit of priming, to get her airbourne?:}

Don't tell me you've got the ANO on favourites, Bren!!!

Nah, he's got them memorised.

this is actually quite a historic aircraft, as it was one of the standby a/c for Black Buck. If a certain ME QFI would send me my book back which he got Dave Thomas to sign eons ago, I would be able to tell you the whole story. It was originally bought (as were a few) with the intention to fly it on a civilian aegis. I believe the engines were removed, so they must have been lying around in the salty Blackpool air for some time.

Bloody scandalous demise of an airframe if you ask me. Interestingly enough, I don't think he paid much more than 6K for it originally!

The cost of transporting this mighty beast is going to be prohibitive. I do hate seeing them like this. Hope she's not too far gone already.

Edit:

Oh No! It looks like the current bidder (£10,300) is some kind of IT/Electronics nerd... I forsee a lot of scrap metal with only the cockpit section remaining. :{ :{

The bidding has gone hectic today.

22 bids and it up to £15,600, it looks as though a few people have big back gardens.

Someone did retact their bid though, he gave the reason that the seller changed the Description.
The seller did change the description, he said that it would not fly:D

i'd like to bid but can't collect. how much would post and package be ?

Would that be by air-mail? :E

Now over £1m, surely rogue bidders?

How much should a Vulcan in that condition cost?, can't seem to find any in AutoTrader or Exchange and Mart ;)

Sagey

The second that it is moved it will crumble to bit. Its not even worth the £6000 starting bid IMHO.

Bids now above £2.1m
