Lords auction ruined by fake bidders

August 12, 2008

Eccentric millionaire Lord Warleigh of Plymouth, David Piper has the eBay auction of his life scuppered by fake bidders. David Pipers auction is estimated to be worth around £4m, however there have been bids of £9m and £10m from eBayers who have been later discovered to be unable to afford this large amount.

The Lord Warleigh of Plymouth has been reported by local newspapers to have said he is “upset and frustrated” his genuine auction had been ruined in this way.
The auction, which we reported on last week included all of the lords possessions including his two Bentleys and his title as Lord of the Manor. David admitted he had never done an eBay auction before and he is very frustrated that the unrealistic bids will not be removed, meaning that any genuine bids are worthless.

David decided to sell his assets as he had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer and wants to move to London so he is nearer his family and to receive treatment. On a personal note, I think it is disgusting that anyone would do this on this genuine auction.
