What some people will bid on Ebay
« on: March 14, 2013, 12:11:47 PM »
I won a Ipad mini and while searching on ebay for bits came across this. its amazing what some people will bid on or dont simply read the description. I wonder what the winning bidder will say when its delivered.

At least he's offering free postage  ;D

See his listing 'revision'.

I bet they leave bad feedback for the poor seller..

mate used to buy hand held radios from Dick Smith, and put them on ebay starting at $20 more than he paid.. sometimes he would more than double his money...

If they read the description, he can't get any negative feedback.

The bloke I work with collects transformers (toys) he put a bid in on a toy and after winning the item he had realised that he just paid $155 for the empty box and the seller had empty box in the description

Seems like he took the original auction off then started a new one then ended it. 
The original auction for the empty box got to $152.50 before he cancelled it.
I save a copy of the page but dont know how to put it up.
