Luck of the draw then, there's a lot on ebay that don't sell for the prices you quote, with high starting prices, and a lot of completed items at 99p. Depends on how desperate you are at the time to buy, I'm not, so I can wait a week and go for the 99p ones. As to the handooks link, sort it on price +pp lowest first, put 200 items per page, then scroll down and see how many sold, most even for less than a fiver. Parcel shelf, half sold, lowest one was 99p. Put a reserve on it, and pay if it doesn't sell, then relist, it may go eventually.

No doubt you can get some of those items for 99p, however the simple trick is to put the item on buy it now at a penny cheaper than the others, sorted by 'buy it now' price. Its not rocket science.

I only ever put items on auction where i expect there to be a good few people interested. A Corsa B handbook is only going to be needed by one or two people at any given time so a bidding war is unlikely.

I'd seven handbooks / folders in a cupboard here mostly for oldish vauxhalls and three have sold within 4 days.

I guess we'll have to agree to differ then - you'd propose not making any effort, i'd propose making a little effort and making an extra £100.

But it is moneysavingexpert after all?
