Note to self.

Always read the listing carefully.

I didn't and bid on an item which I thought was for two packs of six. Twelve items in total valued at about £3 for each individual item. As always a factored postage into my bid so I knew what I'd be paying for each item.

Anyway I won the auction for less than £2, paid and thought no more about it. Until the item arrived and I've just opened it.

Guess what?

    Two single items, not packs?

    But still if that is £1 item but RRP would be 33 thats not a bad deal.

    It was six packs of two. Obviously.
  • Having looked at the pictures I clearly thought it was two packs of 6.

    Upon opening two packs of 12. Re read of the ad confirms the error was mine.

    £72 worth of stuff for less than £2 is a good start to the week.

    There were other bids, I can only think others thought the same as me late on. The other bids were the usual 99p and £1.20 early on so hardly serious.

    Poor listing info by the seller?

    I won an item for £20 recently. They silly seller listed as spares and said the charger is missing but they dont know if the battery was inside.

    Battery is worth £85+

    Not only is it complete, But the batteries are in good condition also. I charged it as soon as i got home and it worked.
