I can see it can be confusing from the picture and title however the description clearly states it's a book.

This person seems to be an employee of Thermomix as they have sold a lot of TMX books in the last month at least and seem to be making more money this way and without the effort of demos etc.

I think it's the responsibility of the buyer to read carefully and I can't believe how much some people pay.

lol Hally. Good one 

[Tasty]

 I have also filed a report on this item due to misleading title. It will be interesting to see what happens however I still believe the buyer should read more carefully.

[Wonder]

Does anyone know how the auction ended up? I'm assuming it's finished as I can't see it anymore although I'm on my iPad and can't remember my log in so can't view completed auctions.

[Tasty]

The auction is still going. It's at $305 with 14 hours to go.

Seems that quite a few of those bidders have a substantial bidding history with the seller.

*shakes head* Some people.

Her reply to your question will be interesting Hally - trust you to come up with such a good one 

[Meagan]

If they are a current consultant then they can be struck off as a consultant. We aren't allowed to sell anything through eBay! It is possible they have finished up and are selling off stock??

[Halex]

If its a consultant I am sure some customers might like tomurchase some of the items for sale.

No reply to my email.

i too emailed the seller
this is her reply

 I too was stunned that people were bidding so highly for this item. I also received a couple of other messages from people last night, and when I had a closer look at the wording in the title of the item, it has obviously been taken to mean an entire machine, not just the cookbook. I am unable to revise or end the sale as it has less than 12 hours to go. When the item ends I will be contacting the highest bidder and withdrawing the item for sale.
I in no way meant to be misleading, and thank you for you concern.

Great outcome, I also received the same email.  Thanks maddy for spurring us on to do something to stop that poor person getting ripped off.

[maddy]

Yep, got the same email.
Particularly good that the seller will be doing that, as it now sits at $455.00!
