If the guy wants to sell it and the Olympics board thingy has no issue with it (which they don’t, btw) then these people who keep trying to stop people doing what they want should keep tier opinions to themselves and bugger off back under whatever rock they crawled out from. Sadly these acts have now forced the guy from Probus, Cornwall to withdraw the sale of the torch.<br /><br />Rant over and on a more lighter note, I for one am glad of the Olympics coming to the UK. Although most countries loose money on hosting it the prospects for local business owners must surely be a good thing. This will give them a little bit of relief in a time of cutbacks and austerity measures.<br /><br />Go TEAM GB !SpanktheMagicMonkeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-20628815179860119612012-05-20T21:49:49.905+01:002012-05-20T21:49:49.905+01:00I have a torch and i definately won't be selli...I have a torch and i definately won't be selling.

I assume the people buying are investors speculating in the same way they would on any other object, not necessarily being interested in what it actually is. Me, I think Olympics is great if you like that sort of thing, if not meh. I'm not anti just meh.mumasuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063599072799536913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-12249447985376097572012-05-20T17:26:54.336+01:002012-05-20T17:26:54.336+01:00Sell it.

I would definitely sell, but that is probably because my interest in the olympics is virtually nil (yeah, I know I'm so unpatriotic about it) so I wouldn't really want one, but who in their right minds would pay over £150,000 for it? Someone with a lot more money than sense, that's for sure and someone who is a bit stupid to be honest. If you've got that much money to waste, give it to a worthy cause instead.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199859409385042568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-42039908351257271132012-05-19T23:17:52.391+01:002012-05-19T23:17:52.391+01:00For something which cost £475 to make, is it reall...For something which cost £475 to make, is it really worth £130,000+. How many people who paid that sort of money will regret it in a few weeks time? Still if your in the position of having one to sell its so tempting to sell it and if you do have debts then of course you are going to sell it. At the end of the day of someone has so much money and is stupid enough to pay that sort of money, well they deserve to help pay off your debt, just wish that I could help pay your debt, sadly i'm in the same position so yes I would sell it too! Good luck for the future!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042129940754898734.post-88751147569581437012012-05-19T22:39:10.668+01:002012-05-19T22:39:10.668+01:00Ahahahaahaha!
