for once, words fail me !! does he not realise that he is handling stolen goods!!Greedy B......!! :0 :0
 
The Gentleman who is selling the trophy that once belonged to the Whippet Club of Scotland bought it after the person who won it ten years ago died. Where it has been for the last ten or more years only the trophy will know. Having made some enquiries it seems that the trophy has very little value to anyone but the club because of the engraving it would seem that there is very little monetery value and to have the engraving removed would be expensive. The only real value to any one who bought it would be scrap value and as the trophy is not very heavy its not worth the £400 asked for. If he had any Christmas Spirit he would let the club have it back free of charge and let the members enjoy competing for it again instead of being told well you've won the Dunglass Trophy but it is still missing. We can only hope he has a change of heart and "DONATES" the trophy back to the club
 
Any more news on the trophy? :(
 
Nothing to report on the trophy. No one has heard anything yet. The trophy steward did say she would keep you all posted mabey she will know more. ???
 
[SIZE=14pt]The Trophys Back Up For Sale On E/Bay![/SIZE]

There were no bidders on it or reserves so I put £10 in and it came back I had been out bid and the bid was now £10.50? looks like he's either registered in a differant name to run the price up or he has got a mate to do it?

Looks like the same person. Obviosly did not have the Spirit of Christmas and has decided to sell rather than donate it back to the club. Such a nice person.
 
I wonder how he would feel if everyone on K9 sent him a short message explaining how we feel! :) (nice comments Lyd)
 
What exactly is the legal postition over this trophy? Is it 'stolen' or is the guy in rightful ownership of it? You can report the item and buyer to ebay's legal team if it's not rightfully his... :8
 
Thanks Mark. I've let Emma know. (She's the WCS's Cup Steward.)
 
It's still unclear if anyone has actually looked into the legal position it seems as was said before this trophy went missing ten+ years ago when the person who had it died and was probably sold as part of a house clearance or such like. He has probably bought it in good faith but he must be aware by now of the bad feeling it is causing. Surley for the sake of losing a few pounds (sterling)you would think he would just give up and give it back to the club or is this too much to ask from a business man. :8
 
you would think he'd do the right thing and donate this back.......i'm going to keep a watch on this :c

OK I think now is the time to act and get the trophy back?

as I said earlyer I stuck a bid of £10 on it to see what happened and i'll stand by that so who else fancies adding to the £10 to try and buy it back? please only offer if you're serious.

So the pot stands at £10 who's going to ad to it

I just bidded £11.50 and i was out bid....he has'nt put a reserve on it but either him/someone he knows has probably put in a high already.....

edited to add that maybe if anyone else is gonna think about bidding either use the proxy bid thingy or leave it till the last few minutes but then risk being outbid or him having a pretty huge proxy bid on it already.......bloody hate ebay!!!!

Umm i've just had an e/mail from e/bay to say my bid has been canceled by the seller on the trophy and I have just checked and it say bidding had ended on the item? do you think i've p###ed him off? (oh well another xmas card list i'm off)

Dear eBay Community Member,

The bid that you entered for the item (2587227736) has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the (bid history) link from the individual item page.

Regards,

eBay

the bid has now ended......there is something a bit dodgy about this..... :0

If he bought it through a house clearance as he claims then as he had bought it in good faith then I would think there is very little legal recorse BUT a nice soliciters letter to him may persuade him to part with it for a realistic fee.
 
tonys just been on the phone and ive told him about the trophy malarki....and he said that the bloke is dealing in stolen goods and should be reported to ebay and the police :0 ....whether he bought it in good faith or not. he then proceeded to tell me that if someone bought a stolen car and didnt know it was stolen the police will still confiscate the car and the trophy should be treated the same way as long as the whippet club can prove its theres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

has anyone complained to ebay
 
Hi Michele,

I don't think they will have a problem proving it as it's got their name wrote all over it! (LOL) :)
