Ebay's a wonderful place!
« on: 25 January 2015, 18:46:01 »
I bought a DVD a few weeks ago.....from this guy...it took all of 10secs to find his ad again

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Broadchurch-NEW-3-DVD-SET-/391038244052?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_DVDs_DVDs_GL&hash=item5b0bb214d4

£8.99 with free del for a NEW DVD.

So ive opened it (took cellophane wrapper off) watched it.

So now its 2nd hand ... I shoved it back on ebay ... stating it was nearly new, been played once etc.

I put it on for a start price of £3.50 plus £2.34 del (which was the quote of Royal Mail website for size/weight for 1st class signed for)

Its got over an hour to run and its been bid up to £9  ;D

What would you prefer a NEW dvd for £8.99 or a second hand one for £11.34  ;D

We have had that happen. Just needs a newspaper or more likely a TV channel to spout wonders of " new series" and they become in big demand.

I suspect a lot of people just click and buy the first item they see as well.
