My wife recently bid on an item (an in car mobile phone charger) on which she was the only bidder and she "won" it for 1p!!!!


She was pleased - I told her the buyer would never bother to send it for 1p - However it arrived today and it had come from Hong Kong!!!


How nice it is to see someone on Ebay who sticks by the moral code of the website - if anyone ever deserved positive feedback this was it.

Mick Mac, nice little tickle there. However as Anna has mentioned many vendors on EBay make up their profit on P&P.

Not that that should matter, if you get a bargain and the seller makes a quid or thirty bob on the transaction, oisy doisy doh, everyones a winner.

Lahvley. Sweet as.

The postage was ?1.49 - not bad for airmail from Hong Kong - The envelope had HK Dollar 4.10 in stamps - so someone can tell me if there was a postage profit or not. Anyway someone in Hong Kong (Jenny Leung - address provided!) sent it and she went to the bother of going to the local post office to arrnage it for "feck all". And it came with a little typed note. Great.


(Makes mental note to visit Hong Kong soon and see what Jenny looks like).

I once tried to buy a bean bag gun from an internet site in Holland but it was seized by Customs and Exise and they subjected me to a severe arse fcuking as well for trying to import a prohibited weapon. It was on sale for 20 euro's and seemed like a bargain.


I got my crossbow for ?40 from a firm in Yorkshire who were having a clearance sale. Still got it and it can go through a car door at ten paces.

I agree. It's poor down South and really should be half chips, half rice.

    • Just wanted to let you all know that Dulwich Antiques is serving free takeaway coffee (Old Spike), tea and hot chocolate all day every Sunday. We’re open today till 5pm.  Dulwich Antiques, 3 Upland Road. Hopefully see you there! Rachel & Conrad 
    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
