    Someone started the ebay thread when they spotted all these apparently knitted items listed at £280. Eventually the seller joined the thread and said she was selling them on behalf of her friend... who was mentally ill and was convinced each item was a valuable masterpiece. I think friend was also dying... anyway, it was all a bit bizarre.

    Story didn't really check out so everyone was speculating about what was really going on... from hi-jacked account to spurned ex-lover :D

    Think of the fees....
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    I was looking forward to reading this but the threads gone. :(
    Ah well.

    The booties being for 34 year olds made me laugh though. Oh, and the fact that the seller was selling them for £280.
