To be honest i never expected him to let me have it when it ended at 1p but he could have been a hell of a lot more reasonable than to give a fake collection address and relist it. (eg. "Sorry but I was expecting at least £??? and you can have it for that price")


Theres every chance he will do it again if he feels 51 quid isnt enough either.

I messaged him explaining the reserve and starting price features etc.

No chance. The postcode he gave me didnt exist and the address was way off.

Thank heavens for that..
Mind you I guess I would have heard about it on the news at ten if you had made the trip.. Mushroom cloud explodes over Hull :blowup:

Seriously, I think the members of SCUK could form a sort of Ebay register, covering a small area local to each member. The point being that a member in Hull could of contacted the seller asking to view the item..Check it out properly. I'm Wolverhampton and if you want anything checked out here Dan..Contact me :doublethumbs:

Not a bad idea. The club does cover a very large area. I would also be prepared to pick stuff up for people and forward it on to them where the seller wont deliver.

The heading "ebay roll cage" probably won't attract much attention so maybe we should start a new thread to see if any others are interested?
