WOW, prices really are going up

Recommended Posts

This guy rings a bell. Chinnor seems very familiar. Certain he used to be on here trying to rip people off. Badboy Higgins? Or could be that corrado specialist guy... Anyone remember? Whoever he is, he's a complete bellend!

I bough a set of speedlines for £50 with tyres from an ebay member in Chinnor. Think it was stephens dismantlers? Not sure if its the same guy under a different username but I often see Corrado parts come up from that location at reasonable prices. I did hear that companies with trade type ebay accounts often put their prices up massively when out of stock, so as not to have to end the listing and incur more fees if it auto relists. Maybe, just maybe this is one of those times, as he's clearly delusional to expect those prices!

It's not just Corrado parts that are getting onto the "Ask for any old ridiculous price" bandwagon - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-VW-GOLF-R32-OWNERS-LEATHER-WALLET-with-INFO-MANUELS-very-rare-excellent-/261238809806?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&hash=item3cd30be4ce#ht_151wt_966

 

£125 for a service wallet, FFS. Rare? Every R32 comes with one!

 

I despise these ebay idiots and more fool the morons who pay those prices too.

Speaking of high prices........

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171082479201?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_102wt_1140

 

I mean...... just WOW!! :bonk:

 

Big difference with this though - starting bid was 99p, so its buyers driving the price up due to demand, rather than sellers trying to make a fast buck.

I bought the last few G60 grille badges worldwide a few years back. Have always advertised at 99p start and they've sold for £50-£100. I could never ask £100 for one, but if someone wants to pay it..

Didn't see this. Figures.........

 

:shrug:

 

I don't see the problem?

 

As has been said I started the auction off at 99p, there is no reserve, as always whatever it ends at is what it sells for, be that £5 or £500, if people want something why does it bother you how much they are willing to pay?

 

If anyone off here wins it they can have free postage as long as they let me know :)

I'm concerned that if I pitch up to a show with the red badges that my car came with will be nicked so that some scumbag can make a quick buck!

That's one of the reasons I took it off, what's the point in me leaving it there, some scumbag will only nick it, sad times we live in :(
