    I've bought (small) Ikea items on ebay before at slightly more than their store price. If you don't live near a store what choice do you have?

    In fact, considering the return bus fare into town from here is £2.20, it might work out cheaper for me to buy Primark items off eBay than in the shop, just let me check...:p

  • Is it a new trend to sell Primark clothes for more on eBay? I didn't know...we have a huge Primark in the high street which is about a block away from me!

    Oh dear, I feel guilty now as I sold an old book with 2/6d on the cover for £6 and I think (it was a while ago now) that I even had rare in the title..I can't work out my mark up on that one!

    Shame on you ;)

    I hope you didn't charge one single penny more for sending it than the cost of the stamp :D
