Is this the worst ever Ebay fees avoidance?

Check out the delivery charge for this laptop now on Ebay, but if you look at the delivery charges at the bottom of the list, it is £9.95. Look at the questions and answers and someone asks if they can collect themselves lol.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASUS-G70S-7S007C-17-2-5GHz-CORE-INTEL-GAMING-LAPTOP-/220671836615?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item33611101c7.

If I had to money to spare, I'd be tempted to buy 10 as listing states £9.95 for each additional item, so,

£999.99+
£0.99*10+
£9.95*10

---

£1109.39

Then knock them out at, say, £900 each with free postage, equals £7890.61 profit (minus fees & postage of course )

Anyone want in?

Actually it's less than that. You pay £999.99 for the first postage so only need to do 9 times the £9.95 for the rest. If only I had that sort of cash I'd join you.:beer: You could even do it for less than that as one of the postage options in the text of the sales pitch says '£0.00 - Delivery - Within 5 Working Days (Orders over £100 & UK Mainland Only)'.

I'm surprised that ID has lasted long enough to get 75 feedback points as surely it breaks Ebays 'no ID's with URL's rule' ?
