How Much?

From collectables to cars, buy and sell all kinds of items on eBay UK
Registered for eBay many, many years ago, but never actually gone on and bid, or really spent a bit of time looking around. It was only recently, having started clearing through my stash of Airfix kits and bits for the Golfs that I thought it's probably worth having a butchers and seeing what it's all about. Ian's been using it to shift stuff, and making a tidy profit in some cases. So, it can only be a winner, surely?

What's surprised me is the price some things go for. Putting a couple of bids in for some bits, say a kit with no box, just a plastic bag full of plastic. And it's selling for £5-6 :-O

Now, I know the trick seems to be to put everything to "Watch" and then wait 'til the last few hours. So, having tried this, I snapped up a 1:48th scale Airfix Harrier kit for £3.11, saving over £8 on the normal retail price :-D

I can see how easy it is to get carried away tho, having started to bid for something, only to realise I was trying to outbid someone else at a price that was really taking the mickey.

I'm addicted ;-)
