WhiteRoseRambler Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Could this be a case of bidding without actually reading the whole listing?

LNWR lives on Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yes in short, a friend has been caught out by this trick, looked at the listing on Gallery view, saw with a few mins to go it was dirt cheap for what was in the picture, then bid without reading the whole thing through and then realised after. The seller has issued a non payment thing as the bid was binding but he has never had a ding on his record so far so can take the points on his ebay licence, wonder how many do actually pay though once they have been caught out, if indeed these people were caught out in this instance. Could this be a case of bidding without actually reading the whole listing?

Cleefy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 LOL.....it always puts a grin on my face to see Micmcn making the headlines! One question though,how come he has a 100% feedback? Whilst they are both highly adept when it comes to taking the proverbial with item descriptions, I still think Micmcn is a bit behind Gostude, what with the latter's 'kit built' Baccy 37s and locos that manage to be both mint and hand-weathered at the same time etc. "A great item for your collection"...... I'll be the judge of that thank you! Aye, I find that almost as grating as Micmcn's "You are buying" spiel. Unless Satan's taken his snowboard into work, you can pretty much guarantee that no, I ain't buying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovenor Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Surely thats being quite deceitful...? How could those empty boxes be suitable for a model railway...? Since the likelyhood of someone having just that combination of unboxed models needing boxes seems quite low, perhaps the buyer thinks they can strike gold by selling them on individually.

Cleefy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The 'tude, it seems, does at least do his homework and is selling a Comet 14XX chassis kit for the same price it would cost from Comet direct (incl. P&P). I guess he must think the 21 nectar points you can get from Ebay will be enough to persuade people to send their money his way rather than Comet's way. Sadly, in a lot of cases, he's probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
