I am one of those people who occasionally you see with a trolly full of items at 75% off
the reason?
not for re-sale on e bay - but to use for Tombola prizes at our charities annual event - so that we can raise more funds to keep helping disabled children
it saves me a LOT of money buying things in a sale - and means we can have a decent Tombola table and the children participating can win nice little items to give to family members for christmas gifts0 -

This is disgusting behaviour, your denying the OP the chance of getting a starbucks mug for her and every member of the family for £1.50 and denying a poor family the enjoyment of said mugs! how dare you!!
Sorry OP bit mean, its not kool people do this to resell but alot of these people who do this have part time/ no jobs and this is a form of income to them. Ebay is full of tat nowadays with stuff people are trying to flog off at extortionate prices were i work we have regular massive clearances (£300 bbqs going for £30, £150 drills for a fiver) and i always want to buy the lot to flog on but decide its unfair. its not legally wrong what there doing but im also of the belief its more fair for everyone to get a good bargain than 1 person screwing 20 or 30 over.0 -
I think the op is just miffed that some of it is already on eBay I don't think she's mad at people buying for genuine reasons other than making a quick buck.
I went into boots yesterday there wasn't really anything worth having, last year I got loads of good things in the online sale what happened to it this year?

on their website at the time, they said their online sale had finished due to 'unprecedented' demand or something - i know the sale started by christmas eve, i ordered from their sale on the 24th dec.

probably a lot wont sell but once youve bought an item from a shop, it is yours to do with what you want0

What's the big deal? Good on the bargain hunters for seeing an opportunity.
Who uses ebay these days anyway? It died years ago for me.0 -
