in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
i have been through so many websites looking at other peoples opinions, information and what-not and i cant actually make out if these things are for real or an absolute waste of time. lots of dodgy looking deals on ebay claiming to be liquidity auctions etc, but i want to know if there is such a thing and if so, is it really worth getting involved...??? someone out there must have a clue, if so, throw it this way!!! :confused:

    They really work, I was able to buy a speedboat which had been seized by Customs. It was worth £14,500 but I was able to buy it for £23.67. No-one else wanted to bid against me, coz they had all bought Porsches for about £15.45 each.

    I will sell you a link/ebook/newsletter for £9.99 to tell you where to find these marvellous bargains. Because after all it's vital that I tell as many people as possible so that there is lots of comeptition and they all bid against me. I would never dream of keeping quiet about something so brilliant.
