Pudding on ebay for £77 !

Yes, you too can buy Heston Blumenthal's orange pudding, sold out in Waitrose, on ebay for a mere £77

Bargain!

**Monstro** · 28 Nov 2010, 20:18

now £180

daveake · 28 Nov 2010, 20:23

Obviously, my mention of it here made all the difference

Sarge · 28 Nov 2010, 20:26

Instead of forking out that much money, I'd rather try this.

AndrewG · 28 Nov 2010, 20:29

Weren't these advertised on TV? Why would these be out of stock already? Looked nice. However for £180 I could buy an orange, a Christmas pudding, shove it in there and still have £175 left to do something else with.

Even £14 sounds expensive but I guess the limited edition of it and that dude's name make it quite desirable. A hidden orange though for £180??? I wish I'd bought a spare one of these instead of a Meat Loaf ticket.

AndrewG · 28 Nov 2010, 20:37

£230. Mental.

Sarge · 28 Nov 2010, 20:45

What do we learn from this? Next year, buy some of those for about £ 14 each as soon they hit the shelves and resell them on eBay. Good Lord, I could have funded the purchase of a particular old electric guitar I saw at a shop recently with that pudding.

Never thought of pudding being such a good investment.

Or spend the £180 on enough ingredients to make, say 25 puddings with plastic and cardboard and printer ink to fake the packaging, make them using the recipe mentioned earlier, then flog them one by one on ebay.

The auction is back down to £77. How is that possible? This auction has a funny taste.

the 500 quid bid was too unrealistic apparently

AndrewG · 28 Nov 2010, 23:12

Now it's down to £51. Is this an auction in reverse???

Evil One · 28 Nov 2010, 23:15

I'll buy it for a pound and then put it back up for auction.
