Ebay Madness !!

[singapore stag]

Whats wrong with people! A certain car cover if bought brand new is about £120.00. A used one on ebay has sold for £96.63 inc postage, where is the bargain factor in that? surely a new one would have been better......

what annoys me Sukh is when they buy from there and its cheaper from a dealer!!!! they must have more money than sense, this proves it , look up marks and spencer vouchers, they are worth £20 and i have seen them sell for 19 with £2 postage!!

wheres the bargain in that!

A few weeks ago my wife won a pair of tickets to see Michael Mcintyre. If they had been London tickets we'd have gone, but they were Manchester on a Wednesday, so up they went on eBay. Bearing in mind the face value of each ticket was £35, weren't particularly good seats, and the gig was not sold out, they went for £101! Work that one out.

Supply and demand.

As practiced at the shallow end of the gene pool.

We put a side table on there for £80 buy it now, several bids and bidders later it sold for £125 to the first bidder, why they didnt just buy it now I dont know.

Hello,

one of my other hobbies are old guns - esp. Walther pistols. So some years ago I wrote a book on this topic, which sold for about EUR 20.- as a paper back in any book shop. Recently I saw one of those books sold on Egun for about 60.-!

How stupid can you get?

Kind regards,
Dieter.

yeah, people can be real dumb, apparently loads of them buy old cars for twice the price they cost when new, then spend a fortune on them.
As the say, stupid is as stupid does.

Recently, out of morbid curiosity, I googled the first item sold on eBay. It explains a lot and the rest as they say is history.

Hello John,

But please do not tell my wife! I keep telling her that I am making money by buying old English cars.... Thank goodness she has never seen the invoices from Rimmers and others!

Best wishes,
Dieter.
