eBay will be very pleased with the 'final value' fee of ten per cent.

[ummmm]

Nah...it'll be soooo last season soon.

[tonyav]

I did think about bidding but then me interest melted.

[Mick-Talbot]

£8000 Was all I was willing to pay.

[Sammy48]

There is another snowman on there called 'Simon' he has a starting bid of 99p, if this one is a little bit pricey for some pockets.

[parkie]

Snow thanks.

[boxtops]

"People who bought this item also bought ...." yeah right.

[ChillDoubt]

It'll only end up in the slush fund.....

[pastafreak]

Only 5,000 nectar points??

Where's the other 94,100?

[squarebear]

On a more serious note and as I know nothing of ebay, I see some fool has bidded £99,000 as a bid. Surely, he or she will have to pay that when the auction ends?

[Sammy48]

I think the fact it has 6 days left to run, Squarebear, the seller is hoping it will have melted, it sort of says that in the description.

[vakayu]

No but it is a very nice snowman WITH LEGS!!

[squarebear]

I would have thought the seller would wat it to remain. He also says:
I am confident it will still be here as we are due a freeze. Happy bidding.

Seems a bit crazy to risk that much money and hope there is a thaw.

[ojread2]

LOL, they'll just end the listing - no fvf then

[boxtops]

At least with the snowman having legs, then this auction has the option to run & run :)

[squarebear]

I don't know what fvf is but surely if some clown has offered £100,000 for a snowman, the seller will do all in his power to keep the snowman in one piece.

[society]

Perhaps it's the seller bidding that high amount?

[squarebear]

Doh! I never thought of that but surely that is artificially inflating the price and the seller should be reprimanded?

[vakayu]

It only goes to show that anyone can try and sell anything on e-bay,even though it's a bit tongue in cheek?

[Sammy48]

It may be the same senario as that used diving suit that was put on Ebay a couple of years ago. The seller wrote a complete funny story that went with it and it eventually sold for something like 80 odd thousand.

I think the seller should have wrote a story with this snowman, bit like the John Lewis Advert, lol lol
