£0.10p all in delivered from hong kong. Can't really see how they can turn a profit on them!

What bargains have you had?

The cheapest thing is probably 500 cable tie's a couple of weeks ago. Just under £5 delivered.

The best bargain I got, now I'll have to think about that as i've not had a real bargain for a while now!!!? Neutral

best bargain i can think of, off the top of my head, is a motorbike screen that fits to your bars that i got for about £20 when they usually go for £50

the reason i got it cheap, was the person listing it couldnt spell, so anyone looking for one on ebay wouldnt have found it.

technically though, a bargain isnt really a bargain if its something you dont use, and i havent used it yet.

Best bargain was a garden chipper for £25. It was local too so no delivery charge Smile

A sofa/daybed/rollout that normally sells for £250, for free. The girl who was selling it had to get out of the house before the end of the auction, so rather than leaving it behind for her ex, she said if you can collect it today, you can have it.

Also an unused Rickman fairing for 99p.

Annoys me to, same as when people say 'i won you at pool' or whatnot. And when someone says 'i'll learn you how to wheely' (for example.)

Seriously, its really annoying and its not hard to phrase it correctly (ok grammar nazis i probably got something wrong in this post but not as bad as the examples i put above)

Anyway, i don't really go searching ebay for bargains, if i want something i'll buy it, aslong as i can't get it cheaper anywhere else, i just mainly sell. Saying that i haven't sold anything on ebay for a while.

Haha, you better hope them carbooters don't see you again or you will get moaned at.

They tested them things on a program once, i forget which, but a bit of tin foil actually worked. The signal booster didn't what so ever Wink

erm they give those things away for FREE in Sham sui po computer market to attract people to the shops.

As well as Mong Kok super computer centre....

HK postage is also super cheap, with 100s of airplanes and ships heading to Europe and the US , an envelope on a plane costs barely anything and there is fierce competition for mail sacks.
