I sold an Araya Aero/Suntour set a couple of months ago on ebay...the winning bidder was from Belgium & including shipping he paid around £180!!!!

Didn't these sell on ere?

I did agree to sell them on here last week but didnt receive any money. I told him if i didnt get payment by Sunday evening i would have to ebay them. Sometimes its easy to get carried away then you realise its not quite the end of the month and the bank balance is a little low!

Same persons done it to me, annoying because the item appears sold to everyone else

Calls dib dobs on stuff then vanishes

Ebay is great at the moment.

I had a Pro class stem for sale on here and reduced it to £78 for no takers so i slung it on Ebay. Within 2 mins i had a bidder asking for a BIN, i said £90 delivered but he said he'd like it a bit cheaper so i said pay me gift and you can have it for £80 delivered, he responded by opening the bidding with the £40 starting price, up to a few nights ago he was winning it for £95 + £4 postage   he could have had it for £80 previously.     I had 52 watchers in the end aswell.
