What will Ebay have after the P45 tsunami for the middle-class?

So, as 600,000 get 'released' from the public sector and another 400,000 follow from the private sector, what can we expect to see flood onto Ebay from distressed middle-class peeps suddenly unwaged?
1) Anything do do with ponies, as Poppy's is off to the knacker's yard
2) Yeager, Jimmy Choo and Boss clobber as wardrobes are cleared
3) Audi TTs by the dozen
4) All manner of household goods from John Lewis
5) Books, books, books. Anything by Nigella is 1p
6) Bling, sold at scrap gold value
Oh dear, oh dear.

I had to google what that was.

Another vote for the pannini press! They're fab!!!
Another way of looking at it, perhaps ebay buyer numbers will increase, due to people now relying on snapping up second hand JL items to keep up with their collection?
(ps - a lot of the public sector jobs being axed are the poorly paid people who actually did the hard work. The over-paid fat cats at the top still seem to be there!)Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
"Audi TTs by the dozen".
That'll be limited to sales by women and "gay" men then?0 -
Gloating much, OP?
I don't think what you're saying is really true of the people who are losing their jobs, as Pinkshoes points out."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

Not very nice to gloat over people losing their jobs.0
