KingBollock Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It looks like they're saying "We don't actually have any at the moment and it would be extremely inconvenient if you bought one right now. But... If you're prepared to pay a grand for it then I'm sure we can manage something...". The other day Johnston said something about it being cheaper for businesses to increase the price to stop people buying them than to take the listing down and re-list it later, or something.

thebrig Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) You could well be right, but the ad does say: More than [u]10 available[/u]/[color=#0000ff]40 sold[/color] Edited May 30, 2012 by thebrig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 but if they run out of 'stock' then the listing would end, resulting in the same issue. eBay should be picking up on these little fee dodgers, but given the amount of money they now charge to sell stuff on there i certainly wont be reporting anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
