eBay attempt to recover £250 on 'Kangaroo TV' from Ryder Cup

[Jaded]

RYDER CUP 2010 * UNIQUE * MEMORABILIA * KANGAROO TV on eBay (end time  16-Oct-10 13:08:44 BST)

These things were available for hire for £5 a day, or more if you wanted. Citi (a bank?) were doubling the money and all proceeds were going to 2 charities. You swiped a card and took the thing. If you didn't get it back by the end of the day there was a £250 charge. They had a PIN to unlock them and the batteries are proprietary. No chargers available. Batteries last 6hours absolute max. Kangaroo were replacing them for you through the day.

We got them for two of the days and they provided a really good service - for any sporting event where you cannot see all the action they are amazing. Apparently they have been used at Grand Pix too. A cut above the radios normally sold at these events (£10).

They must need local transmission equipment, so I can't see them being practical at a spread out event like the TdF.

Will he get £250!

Kim is probably haX0ring one into a Street Machine-mounted DVD player.

So effectively he's selling stolen property, since paying the £250 charge for not returning it doesn't magicaly make it his property, it still belongs to Sky.

I seriously doubt anyone will hand over £250 for it.
