dont mean to hijack but i to think ebay has gone mad
has any one seen the drop gears that have gone through in the last couple of mounths
around £195 for used drop gears +£15 p&p you can get them new from huddersfield
for that or at the worst mini spares for an extra £30
mad ness madness i tell you, not bad if your selling them

i am with philster. if people are stupid enough to pay over the odds for something so be it. put it this way if i was the person that started that auction i would be very happy and try and find some more badges to sell. He is on to a winner there

how is it a con?????

if people want to pay that that much doesnt make it a con? the seller has nothing to do with it inless he is the highest bidder pushing the price up

The funny thing is I tried editing my title about a minute after I'd posted... but you can't do it on here, I wanted to change the title to "How Much..?" does that sound better....?!!


I agree, if people are stupid enough to pay it, it's up to them.... Each to their own eh?

Obviously some folk have more money than sense.... hehehehe

[Steve@RetroDash]

just wish i'd thought of it first

[Super Adam]

Especially as the seller also started the bidding at £10....more that what you could buy it for new!!

if it started @ £10, how the hec did it get 2 £140???

[TJenkos]

By people bidding?


I'd reffer this not as a con but a bloody good profit making scheme!!

[Super Adam]

By people bidding?

well wouldnt it go: £10, £11, £12, £13 and so on? and seen as it had 20 bids. it wouldnt have rose farther then £30! i dont know. mabye some bonehead typed 140 as a typing error!!! (£14!)

If someone had bid £33 say as their maximum at the beginning... The next person to bid would carry on being outbid until they reached £33...

So the price can rise at any rate.... Click on the bidding history of the auction to see how it works!

Thats how it went. If you want it, you pay for it. I'm pritty sure this is how auctions have always gone. Since they first began.

[jam2005]

To be honest the badges look different to me. The 'genuine' one has sharper edges that the MiniSpares one. Could possibly be an original one from the 60's Still not sure if it is worth all that money though. Sure that the sales of the MiniSpares ones will be increasing though.
