    Red face Olympic Torch

    What you think of this Olympic Torch selling in Ebay. Is it acceptable?

    Absolutely fine in my book if there are suckers willing to buy them. I can't wait for this whole olympics debacle to end

    For me I won't sell it not everyone is lucky to be part of the Olympic and that's part of the history that you can be proud of.

    the lady on the beeb news this morning was a bit shocked when an auctioneer told her that someone who had won her torch with a bid of £150k was probably a fake bid

    no way , the guy said it was probably worth £3k - £5k at most as there are 8,000 of them

    Well they said the torchbearers paid for the torch and the jerseys they wore so it's up to them whether they sell it or not..I think they paid £215 for the torch to keep it..

    When the torch comes through our towns, we should all walk behind it carrying pitchforks and saying "to the castle, slay the monster"
