Are people really that thick?

[rac3r]

This is not the first time I've seen it but there was a second hand exhaust I was watching on eBay and it sold for £170....you can buy it direct from the manufacturers for £150 shipped!

Another time I saw a seller sell an item for £40, I clicked on his other items list and saw he had the exact same item for £12 buy it now

Moral of the story? Bloody look around before you buy/bid!

I once flea-bayed a Harry Potter video for 40 quid, they were selling in Tescos for £17.99 at the time and readily available.

Yes people really are that thick!

It's the bidding frenzy and the must have attitude some bidders have.Iv'e learnt from that mistake myself and check prices before i start bidding

[janner_10]

Slightly different - Some cock has a radiator cover on Ebay I like the look of, inc postage at £55 - new from Beowulf its £58 with postage.

So I emailed him and asked if the price was correct and I'd give him £30 as new its the same price. He replied saying I could have a £5 off - utter tit - he has been relisting it for weeks.

Pan euro mirrors will sell for £40 used, even without glass they can sometime reach £30.
Last one i bought was £34 from david silvers.

Same as front indicators, they'll go for £25 like this one listed here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-ST1100-PAN-EUROPEAN-1990-02-LEFT-INDICATOR-SIGNAL-UNIT-/230782142931?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item35bbb009d3

David silvers, £17.50 https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/ST1100AX-ABS-PAN-EUROPEAN-1999/part_78945/

People seem too retarded to look anywhere else. If it's on ebay it must be cheap.

I've learn to never under estimate the ignorance/inconsiderateness of people.

Everyone is a ignorant individual. Nobody cares about anything outside of their own little bubble, no matter how ridiculous their attempts really are in the wider picture, i.e. the real world. No wonder the government get away with ripping us off for things like petrol (best example off the top of my head) because no-one is able to pull together for once to fight a larger power. So long as everyone's day goes alright their happy. People are selfish and ignorant, it's just the way we are.

There are things that are much easier to find on Ebay.

I'd rather pay an extra couple of quid than to go through ten pages of google searches for items that actually have sellers located in this wank country.

it's lazyness and complacency that causes most of the sellers to do well on ebay, people are just too damn lazy to spend 30mins finding a better deal - it's the buyers fault if they pay the stupid prices.

I live in the USA at the moment(I know, but someone has to enjoy this 300+ days of sunshire here in Missouri!!)
Anyway, I have a vintage 1960 Ford F100 pick up truck that has the old style drum brakes.So I look in the specialist privately run Ford catalogue & they're $100 a set (more with p&p) There is a local style car accessory store/shop called O'Reilly's (Oh Really!) over here that's like Halford but with semi-intelligent assistants & they're $40 a set!!!
Hmmmm, maybe the expensive catalogue can go in the trash (bin!)

The good thing is that it works the other way round. I meant to bid on something today, (I won't say what it was in case it's relisted), The start price was 25 knicker and, when I looked up how much they are new, (it was a pair), they are listed as being $255 US each I'm so pissed off that I missed them and have PMd the seller to see if he still has them.

I find it very strange when I see stuff relisted over and over again. There's an RZ50 bellypan on Yahoo japan that's been listed at the same price for over 5 years

Hacks me off no end, especially when a simple search brings up used and new stuff on the same page, and cretins still manage to bid more for the pre-abused. It makes it far harder for us full-wits to scoop bargains any more.

I do make a point to message such winning bidders to 'congratulate' them on their shrewd bidding acumen.
