I know - I was asked to pay a lot more for a stamp that is no longer in use - it was black, should have cost 1d, and the head was printed the wrong way. Scam eh??

I know, someone was trying to sell me a used vase that was over 350 years old and made in China, you would not beleive the price they wanted!
I went to the market and got a brand new one for £2.50

Sounds like it could have been the same bloke who tried to sell me that painting by "Vango". What a con - the picture looked like it had been finger painted by a 2 year old. He even got the name wrong - it was signed "Vincent". Bloomin nigerians, eh?

The only logical reason I can see is that the winning bidder had a paypal balance to spend. You can't buy things from Argos with paypal. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Why take the mick, when something that anyone can buy, at face value, like a concert ticket, pay more online than it would to buy face to face? The OP has a point.

Sure buying an antique, costs more than it did when bought, as many have been destroyed, and are rare, or have collectors.

But people jump on the bandwagon, like when MJ died, to sell their concert tickets, because of their rareness, or collectivity, in 100 years, they are worthless pieces of paper, because nobody would know who MJ is, or care. But a CD player that works, in 100 years, is like a music box of the Victorian age.

And you pull others apart for bad spelling and grammar

You're probably right with this one as everyone knows the face-value of a £10 voucher.

You do see people bid well over the odds for stuff though. I was bidding on a table that could be bought new in John Lewis for £179. The ad said it was from John Lewis and I had seen this very table in John Lewis the week before. It was a year old with a few cosmetic scratches. I stopped at about £90 (although had planned to stop at £75!), but in the end the table went for £200.

Dunno what John Lewis charge for delivery, but I'm pretty sure they could have got a new one delivered to somewhere remote for not much more than the £200 they paid. And the funny thing is there must have been 2 of them bidding against each other for it to go so high!!!

I've never 'pulled' anyone apart regarding their spelling or grammar, where are you getting this from? I'm presuming you are dyslexic, and the above is spelt incorrectly to you, and you along, apart from your lone ranger 'Thanker', as always, that never posts in the same thread, but is always there, over your shoulder, with a very similar IP, and ex user name. Well done. To me it's not the numerical value of thanks received, but the quality of information given. And your's is nil, due to not adding to the thread, and once again slagging someone off, for no reason whatsoever.

What in the name of all that's holy are you trying to say It has to be drink, drugs or both

Most likely from here

People that can't spell etc, are beyond contempt, but on this occasion, set a BIOS password, press del or f12 or whatever required, or just slap your child for stealing your computer.

And here

So your belief is that you are talking to a computer? And not people? Spelling and pronounciation, are basic facts of human life, so you prefer to talk in an alien language that nobody understands? You speak English, but don't type it, but understand that people 'hear' ? what you write?

Do you need education, medication, or hospitalisation? I'm being nice to you here, but the posts keep unfolding..

And here

Re-read that, and check out how many spelling mistakes are in it. I count 8, so you invented an alien language.

So?
