  • "Some idiot will have bought loads thinking he can make a profit on eBay. That won't happen as postage would make the prospect of a secondhand TV stand for any more than 1p less than attractive.
    They'll end up being thrown away to the despair of anybody who actually wanted one!
    BTW, there was stock in Stevenage"

    .....yeah right, not as lonely as that brain cell of yours!

    Sorry fellow mse's, whilst I'm all for a bit of money saving enterprise, this blatant greed coupled with the apparent smug satisfaction really winds me up. I suppose at the end of the day it's whether you think this site is about saving money or making money. Personally, when someone posts a money saving tip it should be for the benefit of the majority not for a small minority whose only purpose is to make a fast buck. If everyone had the same idea, nobody would post anything!!

    I hope BMW 4 bed detached person at least had the gumption to thank the OP for their profiteering.

    Well even though they had the item in stock when I ordered, it isn't now!!! I wonder why!!!!!

    Trademark, it is not nice to rub our noses in it. I didn't get my stand probably because you ordered more to sell on. This is supposed to be a friendly site where we help each other.

    It is a little uncool/sad to brag about a BMW!!!
    ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷

    more and more and more though it seems to be some "alleged" MSEers scr**ing others.

    the ironic thing is, the motto is along the lines getting own back on businesses that rip off their customers.

    some users of this site rip of the public to a % that no big business does.

    honestly, the behaviour of some people makes you think that it would be better not to post the bargain and let some genuine people get lucky on it, than post it and have some users of MSE spoil it for all the genuine people

    rant over
