Interesting. I hope some people will learn from this case and stop doing this.

I think this is more a case of automobile fraud (selling at low mileage than it wasn't) than the actual shill bidding.

closer to $100K the dollar is worth almost half of the pound, you're thinking of Australia's conversion rate

The only thing to remember is this is England. He will be taken to court (maybe) plead guilty and the £50k fine will be dropped to £5, If he is unemployed, beside the fact he is claiming £31,000 a year in benefits to sit on his arse, he will have to pay 50p a week.
To top it he'll get 1 year in prison, but because the jails are full he'll be let off. Hell, 2 guys beat a policeman into a brain damaged coma, in which if he comes out will need 24 hour care for the rest of his life, a few weeks ago while drunk, stoned and on bail for assault and they got 1 year in prison. ( which means they'll be out in 6 months). Stupid F##king country.
