In life you got to feel some things really *ARE* too good to be true

LOL.. as if.

Whats wrong with it? If he started it at 99p hes saving a fee. He will probably get a shill to bid it higher.

jmc41 · 20-05-2007, 21:02

I can't how anyone can sell an almost new laptop, and not exactly an ancient one at that, for £20 and make a profit.

Just makes no sense, to me anyway!

It's not a buy it now guys, no chance in hell it's going for that.

Davey_Pitch · 21-05-2007, 08:53

Up to £310 now, and with 12 hours left I wouldn't be surprised to see that go a lot higher.

I've started nearly every auction I've made for 99p, and they've still managed to sell well. That includes phones worth £250+ etc.
Only one auction did something ever go for anywhere near the starting bid and that was a network card I was selling for Daz.
Otherwise starting for 99p always works well for me.

Ah it's £410 now.

I'm a ebay n00b

Gotta sell something on there it seems so better learn at some stage.

Everyone's got to start somewhere

Feel free to ask any questions, always willing to help.

I may take you up on that

Waiting to hear if work is making me redundant before I start shifting things I may end up needing if I have to move again (wardrobe, armchair, coffee table).

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
