i just sold my old mudgaurd off my trials bike for £21+ postage (a brand new one cost me £17)

also 2 plastic frame grills i sold for £6 price new £1.55 each

is it people are that thick, or just cant be bothered with checking price's?

seen this so often, I bought a nice computer desk from staples on saturday. It cost £45, people are selling them built on ebay for £100, and people are actually buying them, they do look good and look to be worth more than they are but hey ho

I think a lot of peoples opinion of ebay is "if it's on Ebay - its gotta be cheaper".

You only have to look at the prices that pointy seat cowls go for on ebay - £42 new from any suzuki dealer, but they sometimes go for double that on ebay! Go figure...

I'm concinced that you can make a decent living out of buying stuff from the shops and selling it on ebay..

I occassionally pickup up special deals I see and spin them straight on eBay and make some money, I'm sure if I went for it I could make a useable secondary income.
