    Just how many spamming keywords can you fit into one listing???? i was exhausted looking at it!!

    Why do people think that the word rare means they'll get more for it??
  • I actually left a price tag on an item once which cost me 2.99 and i got £30 for it when i sold it.

    I actually felt a bit bad when i realised i hadn't taken it off before sending it.

    We had a lot of Me to You bears for sale once. All brand new in their boxes with the little prices still attached. If they sold for more than RRP.....which most of them did.....we took the price off but if they sold for under RRP we left it on so the buyers could see what a bargain they got :D

    This buyer had something for sale at £19.99 start price - he had left a HUGE yellow ticket on it saying £18!!

    I would try and buy it from the same place they got it for £18. And if it is discontinued and they are selling it cheaper then it'll be cheaper than £18 as well!!

    It was more that this was very obvious from the ticket and there is current items (such as the Thomas Steam Train Set) for sale at £25 and free postage on Amazon - which is what my son got in the end as they have loads of acccessories with that too.
  • People might not care on the price. I notice people who live out in the middle of nowhere will bid LOADS for items, and way over the RRP. Especially on Primark clothes. I often visit primark, and just impulse buy loads of things, then when i get home i realise i dont like half of it... so i stick it on ebay, and it goes for usually double or more what i paid.... some people are strange lol
    I :heart::coffee:
  • I didn't see the ebay listing before it was removed, but I've sometimes seen items in charity shops with their original price labels still on, and the charity shop label at a higher price.
  • I remember buying a bag of clothes pegs from Morrisons and sold them on ebay for £1.99 plus postage. They had 79p printed on the pack.... and it was clearly shown in the picture!
