Pope Benedict XVI VW Golf For Sale On eBay

Friday

The current bid (Thursday - with 5 hours to go) is €162.161,11, up just about €100.000 on yesterday's leading bid.

This VW Golf, once owned by Cardinal Ratzinger before his election as the new Pope, is for sale on eBay.

The Cardinalmobile, a 2000cc VW Golf that has the magical Ratzinger name in the log book was put up for auction on eBay last Wednesday by a guy from Sauerland in Germany with a starting price of €9.999,00.

By Thursday evening, the bidding was €45.250,00.

Unlike the usual bidding on eBay, bids for the Golf seemed to be falling. By Saturday the figure was €41.564,00, a drop of around €4.000,00 as eBay removed several joke bids.

No chance - Sunday's bid was up to €62.595,00 - a rise of €21,000,00 and there were still 4 days to go!

The auction is not set to end until May 5. Plenty of time to get your bids in.
