RandomGuy. Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 There are plenty of ambitious sales on Ebay, in the computing section you can see items that are worth less than a tenner but have been priced at around £1,000 or more and have sold tons. Must be a tax scam or money laundering crack. It's a well known way of getting around "unusual" payments into people's accounts. EBay seem to have no problem with it.

I collected them for well over a year when pokemon first hit the UK, i probably only played a few matches in that time tho, i was more interested in collecting. I used to do the SPL stickers every year despite not giving a toss about football. I just loved collecting things when i was a kid, used to do the monthly dinosaur magazines where you got the parts for a glow in the dark Trex too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I could do something similar for ex-pats- "Scottish football atmosphere in a jar". Mind you they'd better not open it because then they'll just get a whiff of a stale fart.

jamamafegan Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Fucking lunatic if you ask me. Or is he? It's cost him nothing other than his time to post them online. If nobody buys them then fair enough, but if some total nutter does decide to buy them then he's laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see it on Amazon a lot, some tatty book will be up for several hundred bucks when you know that with a little patience it'll be had on ebay for a quid.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Kinda related, but here's a very interesting article about how run-of-the-mill but out-of-print books can sometimes have a sale price of millions of dollars on Amazon. http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The UK versions (which I couldn't find video of) are a lot less threatening than having what appears to be a unit from the SAS robbing your house. I saw one today where a woman who was out had a parcel delivered to her huge house, the guy rings the doorbell and she tells him just to leave it on the doorstep. "It'll save you a trip to the depot," he says. This doesn't fucking happen. And imagine that conversation. "Oh sorry my phone's ringing, it's the doorbell." Please. If that smug p***k went on Dragon's Den with that thing he'd be laughed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to sell a Miranda Hart book let alone a rock he found that looks like a snakes head for £75 is the work of a Wisbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
