Discerning vehicle buyers bid for Lanes vehicle – on ebay

We know Lanes services are in demand – but on ebay? Well, yes. Because a Lanes toy van has been put up for sale on the site.

The seller wanted £2.75 for the Lanes for Drains van, looking resplendent in its bright pink livery. And, when a Lanes Group colleague spotted the offer, it had already attracted two bids.

Lanes, like a number of other companies, has commissioned such toys in the past, to promote marketing campaigns.

But in a world where there is value in pretty much anything, it was only a matter of time, we suppose, that one would turn up somewhere like ebay.

Real Lanes vehicles can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds each, because of the huge amount of specialist technology they use to help keep the UK’s drains working perfectly.

So the price tag of the Lanes for Drains van appears very reasonable, especially when you consider the cost of some other toys sold on ebay.

For example, over the summer, dolls from the Disney movie Frozen were in huge demand. One limited edition doll priced at £500 in Harrods was being sold for £2,899 on ebay.

Even that is nothing compared to the value of some toy cars. ebay reports that the price once paid for a 1969 Pink Rear-Loading Volkswagen Beach Bomb Hot Wheels car was £44,600.

And try unblocking your drains with one of those!
