selling things for more than they cost!

[CandyCreeper]

Just seen two posts today on facebook with people selling things for MORE than they cost brand new. aibu to think its really cheeky?! obviously being bought by people with more money than sense.!

They must have a sense that they're scarce and will appreciate. Either they're right or wrong. It's not really your problem, is it?

Supply and demand - Kevin the carrot by any chance?

Depends what they’re selling I suppose; supply and demand and all that.

Basic capitalism isn't it.

Kevin?

one is a dolls house that was being sold for £50, £47 brand new.

one an amazon fire tablet £35, £30 new.

someone wanted £500 for the family of carrots the other day

Not cheeky at all... no one is being forced to buy them.

I was looking through my old Live Aid book yesterday, did a quick ebay search out of curiosity and a couple of sellers wanted over £150 for it, yet some were more reasonably around the £20 mark. Thats what confuses me, surely they look before listing?

I’ve seen a few things on social media!

Kevin the carrot...well over £100 and people going mad and almost outbidding each other ffs
Lol surprise...(£65 a few weeks ago people asking £165 )
Amazon tablet...

The list is endless really

An E Type Jag was about £2500 new, today a good one will cost you £125K. And Van Gogh couldn't give his stuff away when he was alive!

Seen this loads on eBay. You can actually buy new on Amazon for cheaper sometimes or a couple of quid more with a guarantee that if anything goes wrong with it, it can be returned.

I don't think people who sell this second hand stuff are cheeky. I tend to think they're a bit stupid.
