  • Personally looks dodgey (sp?) to me.

    If you look at the bidders they are all imaginatevely named Bidder 1, Bidder 2, Bidder 4 etc. Honestly what are the chances that these user names would be bidding on the same item if they were registered to different people? Looks like someone is trying to bump up their rating by 'selling' and 'buying' to themselves and poss leaving glowing feedback. And it only costing a few pounds in listing and selling fees to get their 100+ 100% Pos trader rating over a period of months.

    I know I appear grumpy but I have been stung before.

    I was looking for some iron on school name tags last week. They were all BIN apart from 1 seller that had an auction. Started to watch it as they were a good price.
    Guess who was bidding on them??? Well it was actually Bidder 1 and Bidder 2!!!!!! I decided not to bother with the seller as Bidder 1 and Bidder 2 were in a bidding war with each other then! It was screaming out 'Do not touch with a barge pole' to me as I could see what game they were playing.

    Keeping it Boots related...do Boots really put the price up when they have a till spit on an item???
    All bidders are bidder 1, bidder 2 etc now on ebay :) so it was actually legit people bidding on the name tags ;)

    :eek: Who lent you the handcart to take it all home pollsdolls? ;) Great shop btw :)

    Think this has already been mentioned, but watch for those Natural Collections ending in .49p or .99p etc. I bought the two flannels yesterday and lost the 250 points :(

    Soon got them back though ;)

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Hey you think thats a lot, I should post the photos of what I got in the 75% sale. Now that was a lot and didnt cost a penny!!!!!!!! Paid for it all in points. Anyway don't need a handcart, taxi rank is directly opposite the store!!!!!!:p

    I think the Bidder 1 and Bidder 2 thing is new with Ebay. They do it so that it protects the buyers identity (not sure why !:confused: ) I haven't sold on there for a while now so not sure of the new rules and regs but I do know that they are protecting the ID of buyers.

    Yep you know Hammonds and the big walk way with waterstones etc. It's on the opposite side. Macdonalds is on the same side but at the other end.
    Never seen it Rubes :confused:

    Which proves that these specs need changing.

    Off topic (like I have been for the last hour ;) ) but I did tell you about going to the 'dark side' (Alliance/Lloyds) and falling over their weighing scales didn't I? Rubes, they had the black and yellow warning tape around the base and they're massive as well ....LOL

    I was very :o:o:o lol

    The best way of getting a skincare voucher without actually spending 5.00 is to use manufactures Moc's (for magazines etc) as they count as cash;)

    sorry, but I don't know what this is about... am I missing something :mad: ? I want more till spits (preferablly without spending much)
