Virgin Atlantic eBay Auction

I wonder how the "Virgin Atlantic Upper Class on-board drinks bar" would look in my flat?

Anybody have the URL of the drinks bar, thats the only thing I can't find?

The Bar doesn't start until the 15th, it would seem

Paul - that's you at the current bid, eh?

[fozzyo]

So what do people think the reserve is on the name?

Anyone fancy buying a pair of J2000's?

I've bought a leather holdall. The profit on the £8.50 postage will go to charity too one hopes!

I know someone who bought a pair of Concorde seats (the blue leather ones) for £300 so that's my "bench"mark (sorry!)[:I]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's 5000.

I would much rather have the J2000 seats instead of the bar. I quite liked those seats...

I've just bought a holdall too. As Pete says, expecting to see a few of these at the next social

Yup. Well, it WAS - although it's now at £7,600. I'll go to £10k but no higher. Have a feeling the reserve may be a little higher than that though... [:I]

Well, the reserve price is more than £10k. It's taken my latest bid, but only pegged it at £8,200 as it doesn't meet the minimum they want. (strangely!)

I'm pretty sure it costs more than £10k to customise an aircraft, anyway... [:(]

[preiffer]

Wahey! 1p tipped it over. £10,000.01 - as of right now, (in Ali-G stylE) "I is got me own plane, yeah". [y]


Until some cold-hearted corporate person with loads more money cruelly rips it away from me, that is... [:(][:?]

[Decker]

Machiavellian cackle - don't tempt me

[preiffer]

Hmm - and would you say my new plane would smell fruity or spicy...? [:p]

[Decker]

Leathery with a hint of showroom accentuating the woody notes... [8D]

[Pete]

So, If you get it Paul, I wonder whether you'll be invited along to a naming ceremony? Sounds like a good excuse for a V-Flyer party

And we can all bring our holdalls!

Dean

[Decker]

And gladrags.... oh wait that doesn't rhyme with holdall...

I suppose they could almsot be classed as a manbag...

Dean

Pity it seems to avoid giving sizes for the hold-alls, £29 t-shirts etc.......the small hold-all looks nicer than the large one.

And what exactly are the sleep suits? A pair of pyjamas (top and bottom) or like a pair of those all-in-one thermals cowboys used to wear or suchlike?

[preiffer]

Outbid [n]

It's now at £11,200 - and still with 8 days to go. I'd have been up for £10k, but I have a sneaky feeling it's going to end up being a LOT more... [:(]



Ah well, maybe I'll ask them to name my V.Galactic "module" after me...

I always bid on something a couple minutes before it ends, you should try doing that Paul.

Always bid just before it ends, loads of bids earlier on make the other people more defensive of wanting it at the end too.

Regarding the 21st b'day T-Shirts, anybody know aproximately how big they are? Sometimes I'm a medium, other times a large. just wondered if these were generous in their sizing, as often promo t shirts are.

You Ebay snipers you!! :D:D

Yeah Nick, it might be up to... only £20k by then, a snip

Speaking of which ... have you seen some of the current bids? £57 for a 1999 Sleepsuit ... £56 for a complete set of sick bags? I know its all for 'chariddy' and a great cause ... but some people seem to have more money than sense!
