Stuff on Ebay.... Perhaps not such a bargain...?

... deleted all the old stuff....!   

[Neil]

this guy really is in a world of his own, if he thinks two incomplete wrecks are going to fetch at least £5000.00p


and he isn't joking...a friend asked what offer he would take, expecting an answer of a few hundred, and I believe the answer came back as something close to the £5 K...…..


a dreamer or insane, lol.

He's nuts I wouldn't give him £50 (Well maybe for both )      I like the Royal Navy ARMY destroyer. When did the pongos have big ships?

Ebay: Dickie R/C Harbour Boat 3 Channel New & Boxed (Rare)

                                       £500

[grasshopper]

what makes that tug 'rare'? The model itself or the fact it’s rare to find one still in the box?


EBay is a useful tool if you know what you’re doing, but it does have its fair share of idiots and profit hogs...
I had a look at a few items on eBay and when I think of the junk in my garage I'm sitting on a fortune!


I've got loads of old Mabuchi/Johnson motors....if I invested in some Matt black paint...

but it does have its fair share of idiots

you are certainly right...……


bearing in mind that I didn't expect to sell this little rib for the £900 that I was asking I have had a couple of bids of 600 and 650.....but neither wanted to come to the frozen north to collect, and I refuse to post it after the hard work I put in to restore it...….



but this guy really shows his mind set...…..you gotta laugh...……..and then ebay sanction me for sending him a message  for saying "LOL" SAYING I WAS BULLYING HIM...……...you gotta laugh at these deranged people,  




why do they actually waste their time submitting such farcical bids.the mind boggles!!!

Hi. I have only had one experience with ebay contacting me, they are crazy to say the least.  There was a picture of half a dozen boats for sale and a starting price.  I contacted the seller and asked what was for sale an item, not specified, or the whole lot.
I got a message from ebay threatening to disbar me for a month!
I got them to apologise in the end.
Beggars belief!
regards Roy

A few months back I was selling some unused model aircraft kits and I didn’t know that eBay now put a button for ‘offer’ on most bidding adverts. I was offered a relatively decent amount for one kit but when I looked further into the bidder I discovered that they were in Australia and wanted the same postage I had put down on the original advert- £2.80 second class post via Royal Mail- I rightly refused the offer due to the postage would be higher and his offer was £7.50 below my starting bid. Cheeky I thought that he offered that much below my starting bid and wanted the same postage, a few hours later I had another one from a different bidder asking if I’d accept a much lower offer, I hate this method of bidding/offers as it starts taking up your time to consider and counter offer which often leads no where!

You can actually set a value below which offers will be automatically rejected.

Barrie

That is what I have done Barrie, but who in their right mind offers a quid and then ups it 25p each time on a model you have set a high value on.........defies the laws of logic really,
