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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
