Bassclef Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Jaw drops ... Someone somewhere must be getting paid to come up with ideas like this. Do you think they cost so much due to the high cost of radioactive material?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geester Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That particular seller appears to have over 2.5 million items for sale, check out some of the books for nearly £3K.........late Christmas present for that special person?

icastle Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I missed the price the first time round... £101.12 for a set of strings that glow in the dark? I think I'd rather undergo elective surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I've seen some eBay business sellers put up outrageous prices when an item is out of stock, so that nobody will buy it. It seems ridiculous, but I think it costs them less in listing fees than if they pull the auction and then re-list later when they have stock.

yorks5stringer Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) [sub]Quite a few sellers do this, presumably when they are out of stock. It keeps the listing in the public eye and gives us ample fodder for ridicule.... double post![/sub] Edited December 26, 2013 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
