There is no mention of McDonalds or that it is the McDonalds monopoly game, but the seller obviously wants you to think that. The bidding is up to £79 so far which would be ridiculous if it were not the McDonalds token. I have also added a McDonalds Coventry Street listing which warns potential buyers of this scam. I have emailed this seller asking various questions, but of course I've had no reply. I hope your readers don't fall into the obvious trap of thinking that this eBay item is for the token everyone wants!

At the end of the day though this doesn't really impede anybody's ability to win the competition, it just lessens from McDonald's profiteering from it. There are only so many winning stickers in circulation so you're still just as likely to find a rare one as anyone else. This kind of trade just stops you having to buy x number of meals to fill out the common blanks. Overall this kind of trade probably harms the competition, as things like this are what will prevent McDonald's from running it in future years. But saying that I'm sure any employees found doing this will be reprimanded and it's such a large world-wide money spinner for them that I can't see them giving it up any time soon.
