To think £11 for four little cornflake cakes is outrageously exorbitant?

Someone on my FB has just shared this ebay listing - four vegan chocolate cornflake cakes, each weighing 25g, £5.99 + £5 postage and packing - here.

My jaw just hit the floor - it is for charity, but even so, this is outrageous, surely?

@Puzzledandpissedoff - I messaged her via eBay to ask if she had made a mistake with the pricing - I didn't mean formal eBay feedback - sorry for the confusion.

Ah - see what you mean, SDT Smile

I've put a watch on the listing to see what happens if anyone does buy some, though I can hardly believe that's likely ...

Isn't it for 12 cakes? She says 12 x 25 g?

Still a rip off!

The point missed : Ebay is an auction site, you don't have to bid, you don't have to buy. Why are some of you hell bent on wrecking peoples trading IDs?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2017 18:22

If someone is overcharging (or trying to overcharge) so outrageously, do they deserve to have a good trading ID?

Can you be vegetarian and vegan at the same time?!

VeryButchyRestingFace · 28/03/2017 20:53

They look kinda ... burnt. Confused

I wouldn't, even if she was selling them @ £1 for a dozen.

But I say this as someone who can't boil an egg. Blush

puzzled I have done the same..I am one of 8 so guessing another 6 MN members are doing the same.

Doesn't she need some sort of food hygiene cert to be selling foodstuff? The kitchen could be filthy.

I'm watching on eBay 😉

Arseholes it states in the listing that she has a hygiene certificate.

"Made by a life time vegetarian and vegan, with 20 years of baking and cooking experience, in a council certified hygiene kitchen. I have a level 2 food hygiene certificate."
