[RANT]
I was looking around on eBay for Eurovoxes and I saw this seller trying to sell their EX5000 for £165! The stupidity of eBay sellers amuses me-I wouldnt dare pay that much even if I didn't know where to buy it from other than eBay

And this person who thinks their Max V is actually worth £120 USED! I wonder why the user name is crazy prices lol!

[/RANT]

I know its basically a pointless rant, but I had to get it out of my system-the stupidity of buyers and sellers on eBay

Considering the first one is virtally new and with the hard drive, that's not too bad for someone who wishes to spend a little more cash lol.

well the first one isn't too bad but why pay extra for something you can get for cheaper? I mean sellers on eBay sell Eurovox with HDD for cheaper than that

Suppose but some people try to get more money, if they sell it then good for them, got to feel sorry for the buyer though

. Haha.

Whilst buyers are prepared to pay silly money then why not put things up like that.

I've seen many times a seller having something on auction and buy now with the auction getting up to a higher price than the buy now price

How can that happen? eg: mark puts up a speaker on eBay for £5 BIN and 0.99 BID, The bids go up to £4.99-I dont think eBay allows you to go over the BIN price?

lincsat · 06-03-09, 05:49 PM

Easy - list 2 identical items, one BIN for £10 and the other at auction at £0.99 start. I've seen the auctions go well over the £10. Often the same seller will have several on BIN and a few on Auction.
