£47 plus postage. They're £49 new.....

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..

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.

You do realise that the concept of breaking Ebay rules revolves around the fact that you don't tell people?

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.
