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.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
