in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
an item you've been selling on ebay as a unique item to the site, suddenly starts appearing in other people's auctions, and their buy-it-nows is less than the item normally goes for when you sell them?! :confused::(

Well, its finally happened to me - but I'm persevering and sticking another one on, but will have to think about the future of this item seriously if ebay starts to flood.

Damn! Have to find something else now!

Buy a Skoda. Laugh at the VWs who paid several grand more
Its a diesel. 50mpg - laugh at all the petrols
Its a tuned 260bhp diesel - laugh at them in the rearview mirror as they vanish

    Would they be useful as storage devices? Perhaps in a DIY sense? ;) Not giving any other clues now. :D
