One £15 Braun series 3 shaver spotted in R1sc4, big round red sale sticker £15 written on at 9.30am this morning. Already have acquired about 3 different ones over the years that I barely use so left it there.


I think you may be missing the point.

Ok so lets say there's an item you really want and you have little money. Someone with lots of money comes along and sees an opportunity to make *MORE* money and buys the lot.

Now we're left in a situation where: -
a) Someone who did not genuinely want the items for themselves, who only saw them as a means to an end (greed) purchased them.
b) People who did genuinely want the item and would have used it and enjoyed it, and may otherwise be unable to buy such an item, are prevented from getting one. Remember people with plenty of disposable income will already have bought one if they wanted one.
c) Chances are the person selling the items on is not declaring their income to HMRC and they are evading income tax. They could be claiming some benefits too like working tax credits, and not declaring this as income - which they are legally obliged to do.

Funny how one sided and ignorant of others people can be when it comes to acquiring wealth. Will a person who already has enough money to bulk buy items to sell on enjoy the money they get for each item more than the poorer person would enjoy the item? I doubt it. Still, if all you can think about is yourself.

And this was your final say saying people who make money are ignorant and only think of themselves. i am sorry i thought for a minute you were going to be sensible. How do you know that the ebay person is not spending her redundancy money to try and make more or rent money or her dole money either way i think its great.

Have to agree with the people against the ebay types. I don't think the majority of people who start threads or post bargains on this site, do so, so one person can clear the stock and sell it all. If they were that way inclined then they'd clear the stock themselves and not bother posting.

I'm just glad most of the people here are not like that. Shame there's always the greedy few though.

I've only recently had a look at this thread and am trying to catch up. Has anyone seen any bargain in and around the C4rdiff area?? Many thanks in advance

Just a store update for anyone interested: B*r H*ll (Cambridgeshire) had lots of Tresemme hair straighteners reduced from around £62 to £21 (or poss £24, can't remember!). They were in the health and beauty section, in two different areas.
They also had Morphy Richards double washable heated underblankets for £2.50 - only two allowed per customer!

ive been reading these threads all week, unable to get to any T's store till fri evening.
