fair dos then...but i was referring more to the other listings that may well be legitmate....
at the end of the day whether we like it or not, or if its fair or not, it happens. have been in a queue for concert tickets at the venue, and if you are able to buy 4 tickets in total, but only want 2, a tout will give you the money for all 4 so he can get the other 2 to sell on sites such as ebay for a vast profit....being honest who would turn down getting their tickets paid for out of principle.....
the listings for the 1D albums that are starting at £30 aren't unreasonable.....however i do understand that people may not be able to afford this. bear in mind that the majority of ebay users are genuine people just trying to make some extra money....

I don't think anyone here objects (much) to the sellers who have started the listings at about £29. We'd prefer to get it at the Amazon price, of course, but I think we all understand how these things work. However, this one seller listed 3 of the CDs each with a Buy It Now price of £150. That's what people were objecting to - the instant and excessive profiteering. If it was me I would at least have waited until I had the things before listing them, this person has listed them immediately.

And it has bitten them well and truly on the bum!
Oh I wonder if MSE will filter that out?
Bum bum bum bum.

ETA. No it did not. It should filter this word out: K*t*h*n*i*

Does anyone own a kindle fire? Can't decide whether this is a good offer or is it just much poorer quality that the kindle touch? it's mainly for reading books so dont want any glare on the screen and the fire looks like it may be too bright - hasn't got as good reviews either?!

if you only want it for reading I'd just get a normal kindle, the kindle fires seem to be more like tablets

I assume they were waiting to see what would go for most? Or maybe they say you lot has sussed them so had to another 2?

I don't really know, but I do know 1 person could not have got 3 copies. Look how many people on this thread alone didn't even get 1!!

could have had others getting them or multiple tabs open.. others have mentioned doing that successfully for other items.. oh well, each to their own... frustrating for those who really wanted it for their kiddies.. sure they'll list them again and then its up to whoever wants to buy them I guess

There were 2 identical listings from this seller on ebay before anyone had placed a bid. Then a third was added, and at that point only one listing had bids.

as i put in my earlier posts, i completely agree that those listings are just scammers....but dont underestimate the scale of these things....people like that have a network of cronies trying to get these deals but the bottom line is that they have as much chance of getting these items as we do...what happens after it, however is another matter....

The £10 voucher will apply automatically when you purchase an eligible item... as far as I know the mp3 download works the same. However no matter how many vouchers you qualified for you will only be able to use one of each

Thanks Superloz - much appreciated! :beer:

I would have agreed with 2, but I just cannot believe anyone would have been lucky enough to get 3! They should really go and play the lottery tomorrow.!
