what's all that about?

Hoping a drunk robot might click and buy by mistake?

I reckon it is the kind of thing that someone who sells Winnie The Pooh Disney Cookie Jars does to get thousands of people popping over to his ebay listings to see what he is selling!

I used to do a lot of shooting. I got myself a nice gunslip, so sold my old one on eBay. It was a nice green colour and had a fake sheepskin lining, it cost me about £15 from a gun shop. After 12 months use, and with the new one bought it went on eBay and I got over £30 for it!

People just get sucked in to bidding wars about stuff!

Can't recall the exact figures so they are approx.
A guy I know bought (via ebay) a small digital camera and then an underwater housing to suit...... £20 I think.
He then advertised it as a highest bidder thing and got eg £100........which was more than you could have got it brand new.

Sometimes it's because there are free/discounted listings, which are then free to re-list.

Or maybe they just sell odd stuff. Someone near me's listed MBT valve caps.

There is a bike trader near me who does that but he takes the piss. He listed over 100 coming soon adverts. I reported him/her to EBay and they did sweet f-all. There are still some adverts remaining a good 3monthe later.

true - i have sometimes been involved in bids for old bike bits where the price nudged/surpassed the new price, particularly when you reckon that you are often going to be paying £4 or so postage.

I really must flog some stuff.

Did anyone else read the first sentence and think the forum’s swear filter had struck again?
