The seller as been in touch with me and like they said if they wanna sell something then it's their choice and if people wanna bid what they did/do then again that's their choice

just look at the other things on ebay, me mate collects toy figures made by 'mego',one on ebay.com went for just over Â£1000

I think hes taking advantage of people who dont realise the real price of these keyrings.

well its certainly not me. Anything I sell usually makes me about 5 pence as i round up sometimes. Other things have cost me.

I think that if its a forum member then they shouldnt take the mickey of other forum members.

Wonder how he'd react if I emailed his buyers with the part number telling them how much they are at pug dealers!

And you did..........................

Thanx Though for telling me the real price. I bid as far as a fiver and thought that was expensive so pulled out. Will go to Pug dealer and see if they have any left.

Hey I was one of the bidders for this keyring and my max bid was Â£2.50, even at that price the postage is extortionate so he would have made a profit already.
When it exceeded Â£15 I had to double check to see if it was sterling silver but nope its just the same one you get from pug. Thanks travona for emailing me - have to admit i would have done it myself if i knew how.

I've gotta be honest here and ask if you have a grudge against whoever it is selling them? I personally think that posting it up on the forum safeguards us lot, but e-mailing random people in an auction that has nothing to do with you i think is bang out of order i'm afraid

I still cant beleive the seller hasn't had a go themselves, but with everyone being so negative against them they probably dont wanna. Ppl need to realise that this anonymous seller never ASKED for fifteen quid, people OFFERED it!

If your dealer offered you Â£25K part exchange for ya cc wouldnt you be anoyed if someone came in off the street and told him not to?

No I dont have a grudge about the seller, just dont like anyone from here taking advantage of the un-initiated! I might not have gone as far as I did, but to find out it was one of our own, shame on you!

The seller hasnt had a go coz he doesnt want to admit to being so deceitful!

The only reason they offered the money for the keyring is coz they didnt know the price they are from pug, the buyers thought they were getting something unique!

Funny how you now say I was bang out of order, when you were joking about it when you first read the thread!

The likelihood of a dealer offering that amount of money is non-existant, so its a silly analogy!

What the big deal? If people want to bid of his/her keyring, then thats between him and his buyers and its nothing to do with anyone on this forum. Now if he was showing a picture of a CC and when you won the bid you actualy won the picture and not a real car then you have a right to have a go. But he's not ripping anyone off, if the bidders are stupid enough to go upto Â£15 then so be it.

Good luck to ya mate, and maybe i'll pop down to peugeot and pick up a few keyrings to sell on ebay!!

Good luck to people that sell , he might have got a pound for it , and to be honest , when i charge for my time at work its for as much as i can get away with and my firm still makes a profit

I once e-mailed an e-bay bidder to tell her that paying Â£25+ for a can holder worth 4.66 from the Pugshop was madness. She was okay till she copied it to the seller who went ballsballistic! I had to advise the chap that I would be more than happy to drive to his house to have a direct chat about the merits of sending me abusive e-mails before he stopped. So I'd leave em to it!

I'll be keeping my eye out for these keyrings on ebay, if I find out the seller is someone from here then they get the same!

Oooo, just got my keyring from my dealer - - it's gooorrrggeous...and such a bargain.

Can see both sides of this one -I've made money on ebay from selling tickets and stuff and if someone feels it's worth Â£15 then that's up to them...

Then again would have been gutted to find out I'd paid more than ten times the Peugeot price! Eeek!

It just proves that for once Peugeot aren't charging enough for something - let's revel in that rarity for a minute! Ha!!
