It's got a bid on it now - is it ok to contact member and point it out or is it better to wait and see if eBay pull the listing?

Although it does seem to cost a fiver for postage...

Do you think someone would be willing to pay £6+ for a dummy phone?
Is there a way of contacting another buyer to tell him?

It's really blimmin annoying this kind of thing.

It's just like when the Xbox's first came out and folk kept list X box box at £300+:eek: :eek: :eek:

This guy's feedback's not so bad either. Whether the buyer knows this is a dummy phone or not what the seller's doing's really unfair.

if you look there are plenty of actual dummy phones that sell for £15/£20 or more....

the buyer could also be someone watching this forum....that has no intention of buying the dummy phone...

REALLY:eek:

My word. I thought you could have bought an old 'real' phone for less.

Mind you maybe it's not the best thing for kids to be playing with old electrical equipment!!!!!! Even with the batteries out!!!!:p

I sent him an email

"Will you accept a dummy cheque for this dummy phone?"

He replied

"do you say this to every one thats selling a dummy phone "

What should I write in reply?
