Surely this seller can't be genuine: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/lastonefirst1_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZ

If I had £50 that I didn't need, I'd try it, just to see what happens. As long as I'm protected by paypal.
I agree it is too good to be true. I wonder how bailiffs can have so many of exactly the same item for sale.

What a bad seller. he didn't leave feedback for any of his poor buyers.
Well, doesn't seem to matter too much, as all his buyers have their feedback score private. :S lol0 -
They're not on instant payment, so you could always buy one, then wait a few days until the seller gets some "real" feedback before deciding whether to pay or not...If I had £50 that I didn't need, I'd try it, just to see what happens.

hang on, it doesn't actually say that the item is for sale - it just says that auctions are held weekly for ballif auctions. OK there's a picture but no statement that that is what's for sale! a big con IMO

What was it? It appears to have gone already perhaps because the seller made their feedback private. Are they an MSE reader?
Can only now see they've sold a number of items at 99p"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
