Whenever I sell something, it seems to go cheap. Whenever I buy something the price seems to jump right up. Infuriating!

I rarely have trouble with ebay and nor does my dad with over 2k feedback? I did once however buy a fish tank for about £5. It was in some crappy council estate and the people weren't in so told me to just go in their shed and take it. It looked like they where being robbed by me and my dad and I feared a neighbor would set their pit bulls on me or something... Anyway, I open up the shed and saw the fish tank and was shocked to find a load of used condoms in it!

Posted my ad on gumtree the other day, and ive had 3 companies contact me now to advertise on their website. If I wanted to have done that, I would have done it. I said no time wasters and trying and convince me to advertise with them is wasting my time.

Ive also noticed the price on eBay is slowly increasing, which is annoying, but not surprising to me. I keep getting asked by people at work and friends to bid on stuff they're selling to bump the price up. It's really annoying cause I bet they wouldn't like it if they did that when they wanted to buy something. Just gets on my nerves.

Have had companies contact me posing at first as car buyers as well. Not sure if Autotrader online ads are free in the UK or not, but they are here in Canada. Had a guy ask me 20 questions about the car and all and I kept thinking "Sounds like I'm on speakerphone...what the hell?" Finally, I asked if he planned to come take a look. "Well no, but I have an opportunity for you! How would you like to sell your car with my agency?" Next day two other outfits called trying to do the same.

I also put mine on Gumtree and had a few very strange reading messages from people abroad wanting to buy my car, wanting me to deposit some money into a dodgy bank account in return for ten times the asking price from the car. Nobbers.
