MrWolf Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hm, my fault. But it isn't particularly clear what he is selling, particularly if you're using the mobile version if ebay. Lazy photography. How much effort would it take to create a photo of what is actually on offer? As in how many potential buyers will scroll past it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I had read that Scultamold was out of stock but this seems a bit excessive at over £60. Good news someone is selling it in France for "only" £25 but the p and p is over £40. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plaster-Sculptamold-Modeling-Compound-3lb-White-New/264686912556?hash=item3da091c42c:g:QLsAAOSwpc1ehXRw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this saying that it was sold within 10 minutes of the item going on-line? It's one of the bugs in the ebay system - if the auction start price is £20 and includes 'best offer', someone makes such an offer and the seller accepts, it's shown as sold at the start price, not the actual price paid. So in this case someone may well have offered, say, £60 (still a bargain but not off the scale), seller thinks 'that'll do' and accepts, and this is the result that shows up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
