Really curious here,

I'm not an Ebay'er as such.......Just browse occasionally for this 'n' that.....

The reason i'm asking is Two years ago I sold an original U2 7" Single for £97, since then a few have come up from the cobwebs and the price has dropped so I got a good deal.


I now have something else I bought for £3.99 New, and theres One I see at
99p on there at the moment with no bids after 3 days......Now mine I am never going to sell but i'm watching it and am willing to 'go to' £20--why?..because the next day I know I can sell for £80-£100.

Have you had the BEST buy, or a BLINDING sell?

Sorry to be a bit vague right now, but at a quick profit i'm not going to post it......But I will at the end, bought or not!

I have a series 1 living dead doll that I paid £20 for about 6/7 years ago that if put on ebay could make £100 easily. Sadly Im a bit odd when it comes to my horror stuff so it may never go up for sale, although my 3 year old daughter keeps looking likely to open it and kill its value to £30.lol

If someone mentions making a killing on selling Fruit Machine Disks, I'll scream!

Just thought I would get that off my chest.

As for myself I am still shocked at to what people will buy, its true someones elses junk is someones treasure (lucky me)

Wonder why my limited edition glow in the dark Ghostbusters 12" never sold lol!

Fruit machine disks make some people a killing.

My brother has made quite a few grande from buying old fantasy books from car boots/ charity shops (he does them up and has made near 5k profit in a year for not real effort)........ I used to sell loads on ebay but used to lose a fortune as I think I got addicted and didn't really need the money at the time......:p

eBay.co.uk: Monopoly and Golden Game Fruit Machine Emptier / Cheat (item 150099213780 end time 14-Mar-07 00:46:53 GMT)

if this person selling these owns the section 16 machine advertised then how can they be trusted that the photos of payouts shown are not just in test mode?Plus if they ''own'' an arcade then they are backing themselves into a corner reagarding the companies supplying their machines and the inforation they allegedly have copyright too....intresting

I own a book and I called the Author a few weeks back as I wanted a duplicate....

I was told that it was limited to a 1000 copies and the £4.99 paperback can only be found in Secondhand Bookshops.

Googled it and found Amazon had Four in stock, lowest price was £69.....Today they have Two left at £40 min.

Won This:-

320089930668

(basically @ £5.19)


Amazon'ed' this:-

Amazon.co.uk: The Brighton Blitz: Books: David Rowland

-------------------------------

Now at bingo I loaned this book to a old sweetie I see every week, I have 128 Pint's and I buy her a Half 'o' Shandy (known her from the day's I was with the 'slapper') and she actually knew several people mentioned in it (who in WW2 lost their lives)

Last night I called the Author (who lives local) and he said he'll gladly personalise the copy if I obtain it.

I cannot wait to meet Mr Rowland and get the 'To Betty' in the cover and give it to her as a gift..........A million Quids worth.
