If anybody is thinking of going to this sale please pm me first, I will send you a black bag full to the brim with absolute sh*t for only £15 postage paid, bear in mind the black bag full of absolute sh*t your going to buy tomorrow is going to cost you at LEAST £30 and won't even be full, this plus your time and the fuel is an absolute saving, another benefit is you can spend the time getting ripped off somewhere else too!
For even greater savings pm me and I will set up a website full of pictures of expensive items I won't send you and all for just £5, but be quick the offer is limited in time and ends as soon as I have your money and you have nothing to show for it.
If you really want to get ripped off there are less stressful ways I am sure than either my suggestions or attending one of these sales.
PS Please don't pm me. I don't really want your money.
Just in case there is anybody out there naive enough to do so.Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.Together we can make a difference.0 -
there has been loads of press coverage about these rip off auctions, i think they even did a bit on watchdog, 1 guy who realised what hed been sold when he got home, returned to the auction to get his money back and was on the recieving end of the attension of some unpleasant heavies, save your money0

But how?!
I really don't get how they scam you. You see the product, you bid, and you get your product. Check your product before you leave and go?
Ok, It sounds dodgy and I personally wouldnt go - but how do they do it?
Me and OH went to Blackpool last year and saw a shop selling really really cheap stuff like this. OH really tempted, but saw a couple of "shifty" men on the shutter doors and was afraid we were about to be shut in to this little shop. Was I right to be suspicious of this too?0 -
oh yes!! These sell you goods that are damgaed, don't work etc etc, they draw you in with free gifts, they give away bargains, possibly to their staff, but you get a black bag and something that you couldnt sell at a car boot!!ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷0

if anyone is going can they get me 3 x psp at £60 each, 2 plasmas for £389 ( but only if they are the 50 inch sony hd ready ones, and i mean true hd ready not any of this pretend hd ready), and 4 apple 20 gig ipods ( again, please make sure they are not the older style ones with battery issues, oh and also please, only in white) at £50 each.
once you deliver them to me i and i have checked them out i will give you the cash.
thanks.what is the plural of moose?

we had one at the dalmeney hotel in st annes where my mate works he said it was a complete con just as above - loads of heavies all around the room
in blackpool there is a very similar operation next to sealife where there are loads of electrical items on display which are clearly returns and they have plants bidding for items so you end up paying the going rate for a returned item with no warranty, oh and everyone has to buy a £3 radio to bid with or you cannot bid.
a complete con0
