Rover branded rechargeable torch on ebay

Mogodon · 3rd November 2016, 16:39

Genuine Rover badged torch on the bay been watching all week with a £2.99 bid on it (my bid)

No loom or socket and looked from pictures to be fair to good condition.

I have one fitted and working but is a BMW badged one.

Flurry of bids in the dying minutes/seconds and sold for £19.50 !!!!!!

I'd have gone up to a fiver as they are pretty useless, but look good in the cubby to show off.

Amazed it fetched so much considering it's only one of the 3 parts (albeit the important one).

Dear god !!!!!

What is it about them that makes something so small, out of sight and frankly useless so sought after and people seem to lose all sense of rationality when bidding for them ?

I take your point but seems an awful lot of bother for something that will get minimal use.

I had a non working BMW one and opened it up as per how to but it was a struggle and brutal. It went back together but you can see it's been forced apart and stuck back together.

If there was a chocolate ashtray option a few purists would want one
