I fuckin hate these shill biddin pieces of shit.....

Pure - You gonna be proud mate, from now on, no matter how bad I want the item, I'm at war with shill bidders.

Ever seen a Scotsman go to war?

[mr.pure]

We might end up at war. sometime then.
I, alas, have been guilty of shill bidderness in the past.
Mainly as a way of circumventing ebays shitty fees.
Once it's reached a price I'm happy with I let it run without intervention.

[scotswiss]

I've given up challenging you to roll around on the cobbles.....



Don't get it, I mean someone like me will bid to what you want (or would have done previously) but why not just put a reserve on?

I got this advice recently when thinking about selling and not knowing the best way to list:

"From the ebay side, i can only reommend the following advice: Auctions dont
work!!

Use a buy now price, with what you consider a far price (being greedy means
it wont sell and you still pay listing fees)

Also include an auction start price which is a price which you consider to
be acceptable.

I usually have a difference of 10-15% between the 2. If there is no interest
you can always reduce the prices during the period it is on ebay."

That sounds like a winner to me?

[mr.pure]

Yeah but everytime you list something on Ebay their taking percentage points off you.
I've got a personal war with Ebay and I want money back that they owe me.
Until the debt is cleared i won't be paying them extra for reserve fees or higher listing fees or any of that shit.
You are obviously more well off than me and maybe your not that bothered about a few quid here and there.
But I sure as fuck am.
Fuck ebay.
I put "offers invited" in all my auctions and if I get a good offer then I'll sell it off of ebay and they'll get nothing but the 99p listing fee.

[scotswiss]

Aaaaah, I'm naive you see, never sold anything on the Bay so no idea what they do on the fees side.

End of the day, and this is nice and fuzzy I guess, the best place to buy is here!

i know weve all done it, but he's put them on other forums £400, thats alot of cash i couldn't justify that, plus if my other half new she'd kill me. lol

[mr.pure]

FP's are the second most expensive Consortiums ever sold on Ebay.
Trust me I've watched every pair pretty much.
£760 is the record for a pair of Footpatrols.

[mickie mackie moo]

would you pay that, if your paying that much surely you wouldn't wear them

[mr.pure]

Would I fuck.
My 2 pairs didn't come to £500.
Have bid more than that for a pair of trainers in the past though.

[mickie mackie moo]

you must have alot of spare cash mr pure, but i don't blame you they are wicked kicks, do you sell much on ebay /

[mr.pure]

I sell all sorts of shit.
Not much extra cash but at the time i was flush and I wanted some very rare Superstars bad.

[mickie mackie moo]

what superstars where they

[mr.pure]

I fuckin knew you were gonna ask that.
They were the Beastie Boys limited edition New Yorks.

[mickie mackie moo]

you've hot a nice F**king collection do you wear the beasties

[mr.pure]

I didn't win 'em homes.
i fuckin wish.
