Auctioneers won't pursue 'mistaken' carousel buyerpublished at 10:19 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2018
The person who mistakenly placed a £180,000 bid on a former Lincolnshire theme park carousel will not be pursued by the auctioneers, the BBC understands.
The ride was apparently bought in error by an online bidder during an auction of items from the former Pleasure Island theme park last week.
The ride, dating back to 1904, was among hundreds of items from the former Pleasure Island theme park in Cleethorpes being auctioned-off.
The purchaser claimed he clicked the button to make a bid unintentionally when he went to close his browser.
A campaign has now been launched to buy the carousel and keep it in Cleethorpes, meanwhile the auctioneer says several people have said they're interested in buying it:
