Title: Why do people bother?
Post by: alunonhisown on 30 March 2010, 18:14:23

I have 5 items on Egay, all on Buy It Now, and in my opinion, all at stupid low prices just to get rid of them, else they will go to a boot sale, and there are loads of WATCHERS. Why not just BUY the bloody item? They are not going to get any cheaper.
Damn annoying.
I sold a big A3 Laminator and have beenn messed around with it 3 times now, and someone is supposed to be collecting tonight. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I don't see the problem, TBH.

I'm normally watching dozens of things on Ebay. Doesn't mean I'll buy them. I might simply be interested in what price they'll go for or considering making a bid but unsure. At least it shows there is a level of interest. :y

All 5 items are in my opinion as 'cheap as chips' to pinch a phrase. I am practically giving it away, just  to clear out my garage and spare room. Unless of course you guys know different, and they are over the top.

If you look at a dress (or whatever) in a shop more than once, does that mean you are automatically obliged to purchase it?

Also a bit of a bad time for sellers, buyers are makeing plans for an Easter break so may not be at home for delivery.
