Celebrate your wins! Plug your Items for Sale! Moan about eBayers!


Today i received a book on 'Rising Damp' that i won for 2.75. Still my fave classic comedy series.

[Pip Madeley]

I'm still waiting for feedback from two eBayers after three weeks. Annoying.

[Wayne]

You get used to that. Lots of the ignorant sods don't bother. I always leave FB, myself.

[Paul Clement]

I haven't bought anything of ebay for a few months now, but I think I'll try and get a book called 'From Fringe to Flying Circus' from there in the near future.

I'm in the process of trying to buy a Universal Remote Control, which should operate all of my entertainment equipment, and replace the six remotes I already have!

Good luck with that - Krystal's mum got one to replace her old one, and although it works for the TV and VCR, it's useless with the DVD player....

[Lord President]

My brother has one exactly like the one I'm bidding on, and he has no probs with it. It can learn virtually all the commands from your existing remotes, so I think I should be OK. Thanks for your concern though!

Ah excellent I wouldn't like to see someone go for something only to disappointed, as you know sods law says if there's one TV it won't work on, it'll be yours!

I've just put a bid on a brand new pair of football boots for Kieran. He's outgrowing the ones he's got, and he plays in goal for an under nine's side now.

[Rob McCow]

I'm still waiting for my Slitheen/Eccleston walkie-talkies! I really should do something about that, but I've already sent a few messages.

We may have another Bond DVD turning up soon. Only one left after that!

[Fatso the wombat]

Oh, I just bought half a dozen 80s fanzines for a silly amount of money, when I only wanted one of the six, and I had acquired scans of same fanzine only a few weeks ago...

The things a sad completist will do...

[MacNimon]

Check out the Buy-It-Now price for these 2 VHS videos of ...The Flash

Extortionate, especially considering that you can get the entire series on dvd for half the price, less if you're prepared to accept copies...

[Paul Monk]

Good grief!
I didn't know The Flash was out on dvd. I actually quite enjoyed it. Wasn't a bad adaptation at all.

[MacNimon]

It's available on regions 1 & 4 only so far, it was released about a year ago. It's been on my wish list of dvd releases for years, and I'm surprised that I haven't got myself a copy before now, so I'll probably get it pretty soon.

I've got those two videos as well, though...if I'd have put them on e-bay, I'd only have been looking for a few pounds for them. It'll be interesting to see if that guy manages to sell them!

[Paul Clement]

I won the football boots. I got them for 5.50 plus 2.50 p&p

That's shocking!

Or, at least, I imagine it is... I never actually looked at the link... er...

I've just made a nice litle sum in time for Xmas - I've (admittedly regrettably) sold the entire series of both Buffy and Angel for just over 200!

I didn't really want to part with them, but I've almost reached the end of watching both series, and I'd heard they did quite well on eBay, which is obviously true! I can always replace them with the cheaper amaray-box releases.

I did the same with my 7-seasons of Buffy, they went for 175. I was well chuffed!

I was outbid for 2 Chip and Cassandras over the weekend. You cant find them in the shops as it was a rare item for some reason. 6.99 in the shops if you're THAT lucky to find one suddenly rises to almost 30 on E-bay and I dropped out at the 20 mark as I was not willing to go any higher.

[Perry Vale]

I downloaded the E-bay 'Turbo Lister' finally, after recommendation from Si Hunt on the old PS, and it's great but I'm still having a few teething problems. I seem to have downloaded it with the US e-bay as default, so I updated & changed my default site to UK. Then when I uploaded some items last night, the link to check on them took me to the US site. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Will they appear on both sites? Will I be charged twice? Any help would be appreciated!

[Si Hunt]

I've no idea, it works okay on mine!

Si.

Rarrrggggh! Ebay users are so (self-censored swearing bit here) and one day I will track down all those who annoy me and (self-censored violent bit) and then post that to their mothers!!!


Ahem.

Calm now...well...calmer...

[Si Hunt]

Bizarre. Some of you might remember we sold a Dapol Sylvester McCoy to a buyer a few months ago. He responded angrily, saying it had been badly packaged and damaged and demanding a proportion of the money back. I offered a full refund, but he said he wasn't prepared to send it back and wanted only some money back. I offered him 1/3 back as goodwill, but he never replied. Now he's suddenly left good feedback. Odd!

Si.

[Paul Monk]

Thats happened to us a couple of times. I think people just try it on.

What's Alex so angry about though I wonder?
