Ebay has a lot to answer for. Everyone now thinks that they are a "del boy" going to make their million and greed takes over from any kind of decency. Hope they get clobbered by the taxman

more like, woolies were selling EVERYTHING and people brought everything, people didnt demand that woolies sold things so cheap, they brought it at the advertised prices and just maybe they need to make a bit of money to make ends meet, or just to be able to buy something extra for their family when the go food shopping etc etc

or even make an extra few quid to pay the flipping heating bill:mad:

In case anyone missed the woollies sale you can now buy most items on ebay at a premium. Seems that greedy ebayers have been buying up woollies stock and profiteering from it.
OK, fair enough if staff sell their items, good on them but I would say that most woollies items on ebay are being sold by the likes of people mentioned earlier due to the duplicate and number of woollies items they have listed. If Woolworths couldn't sell it at a discount to the general public what makes them think they can?

Good point, well made.

Not greed. I went in and bought 2 sets of 3 t-shirts and was told by the cashier to get another 8 packs as they were selling 10 for £1 . It was the same with the plimsolls. They HAD to get rid of their stock so people bought it as it was being sold. I am selling the uneeded 8 at a car boot sale and don't care what anyone thinks. Most of us need the money at the moment so are just being moneysavers!

"One thing that was happening did catch my eye. There were a couple of dozen families in who were clearly working to a system. They had grabbed most of the trollies and had filled them to the brim with the best of the stuff left then rather than go and pay at 80% off were basically sitting there waiting for the next reduction to be announced. The member of staff I talked to about this said they had all arrived at opening time and done this, and it was now 3pm. She said her manager was incensed because almost everything worth selling was in these fifty trollies so had decided that he was not going to reduce anything any further, but keep them sitting there untill they froze and then announce the tills would be closing in ten minutes. "

This was actually the type of greed I was referring to. To me it beggars belief that people have the brass neck even to contemplate doing this kind of thing - but then that is how they get away with it I suppose. It seems that shopping is no longer a household chore but a way of life to some people.

I heard that people in Redditch were doing this but the store manager there gave everything left over to charity rather than to the these people!

Fair enough then, that is beyond greedy i agree.
They should have set the fire alarm off , cleared the store , emptied the trollys while everyone outside and then let them in again.
