Look like everyone has misunderstood.

What are are you actually saying OP. Is the price for item at £8 allready? Yes or No.

If it is why sell for half the price.

the bidding hasnt started but it has lots of watchers... when i do a completed listings search... the item i am selling is going for anything from £5~£10 depending on condition and seller f/b... this lady has offered me £5 for it? but it would have only costed me 25p to list it as i would pull the auction thus having no fvf just paypal fees...

I think...

lady friend wants to buy the item, for around £4. This item NORMALLY sells for around £8 on ebay.

Should OP let the listing run, or sell early to lady friend?

:T thanks for clearing that up :T

Not to sound too harsh OP but, first post is very hard to understand. Just that you do say item is selling at £8 at present, in other words, you have a bid for £8.

Maybe some paragraphs would help

I'd take the £5 and make your friend happy. Then everyone's a winner.

But why sell at £4 if it's already on £8? Where's the logic in that? I really don't understand the mentality of some people. :rolleyes:

Bizarre.

He confirmed the bidding hasn't started yet...so it's still at 99p at the moment. He means the final sale price of similar items averages £8 (I think)

I'd sell it for a fiver - so you may have got an extra £3, what value do you put on a huge favour, more than 3 quid surely.
