Machines Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I would bet they paid over the odds for it in an independent local store and don't want to sell it for much less than they paid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nig Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Yeah, you've gotta be cute these days, I normally open another browser page, copy and paste item into google and check the item out, as you can get mugged of really easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDM Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You do realise that the concept of breaking Ebay rules revolves around the fact that you don't tell people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markytbass Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've seen 2nd hand stuff go for virtually new prices or buy it now prices higher than what I can get it a shop for. How much shill bidding was involved or lack of investigation by the winning bidder i don't know. Like the woman on some daytime telly program I watched last year I think. She had bought loads of old china off ebay thinking she was investing in atiques only to be told by an "expert" that it was a load of sh*t.
