Check out this ebay idiot!

[MrsMerryHenry]

Add up the opening bid plus p&p...then look closely at the photo!

people are really optimistic aren't they????

[PixiNanny]

... anime style sweatdropping...

[BakewellTarts]

Someones bid on it!!! Obviously can't read or unobservant.

[cookielove]

ha ha

[WesternBelle]

What am I missing here?! Apart from the apostrophe's what's the problem with the price?

[OnlyWantsOne]

HHAHHA

[WesternBelle]

No c'mon... seriously, what's the prob?!

So the item was originally £2.50 as priced in the pic? Is that it?

[Jux]

[SoupDragon]

It may not be a bargain but maybe the buyer can't get to a cheap shop easily?

[WesternBelle]

Not really the greatest example of Ebay idiocy is it though.

£2.50 is not extortionate to ask for a pair of jimjams even if that's what the seller obviously bought it for. If something was a bargain at £2.50, it's still a bargain at £2.50 resale value!

There's no rule that says you have to sell for less than you clearly bought it for.

Anyway, the seller is still out of pocket as the P&P charge of £1.50 will largely be used up in paying for P&P! No profit there.

[WesternBelle]

(I will quite clearly be the one snaffling a pair of genuine GHD straighteners clearly priced in the photo at, say, £25 clearance, for £25, whilst you lot are all scoffing at it not being a bargain!)

Everything is relative....

[WesternBelle]

Hey TE, I never said you were judging!

I just love to excercise my pernickety legal mind at times, on matters of minutae!

[paisleyleaf]

I've seen stuff go for more than it's value sometimes
I wonder if it's just the convenience of having it delivered for some people.
Or, looking for a specific theme...like safari

[SoupDragon]

How on earth did I sound judgy?

[WesternBelle]

I also see it all the time Paisleyleaf, particularly cheap but "hot" items from Primark - they go for 3x their original value sometimes. Ridiculous. Harumph.



As for you, Team "It wasn't me, blame the OP" Edwards. Finger cold from all that pointing the other way is it?

[MrsMerryHenry]

Simmer dahn, simmer dahn!

Let's all hold hands and have a group hug, eh?

[Tortoise]

Surely the seller is not an idiot? More the people that bid on it, maybe.

I bought swim trunks for DS1 once and when they arrived the price tag was still on them and i have paid more. I wasn't to impressed but was easier than trying to get to the shops and searching for a pair.
