possibly good stuff for sale on ebay

[daverclasper]

Hi folks. Just to let you know.

 

A woman is selling some family hand downs on ebay (panasiuk6). Finishes Sunday.

 

Some Triumph and other classic parts that are described a original and look like they be hard to find, with a buy it now price that seems cheap or reasonable.

 

There's even a spitfire (the plane) false horizon gauge for £100. Maybe not much demand!.

 

Cheers, Dave

Really can't see any bargains here , Dave.

Does make you realise to hang on to bits rather than bin them when you're restoring though.

 

- even the false horizon gauge,(should one feel the need) available on Ebay much cheaper

I think I'm generally quite shrewd. Not in this case

One of the big problems with Ebay pricing, quite often, is the postage costs.

 

In many cases the postage is so high that it is unrealistic for the item being despatched - i.e. dimension & weight.

 

So for example: Ebay 331908948822 this item can be posted 1st class letter for under £1.00 and not the outrageous £3.30 the seller is stipulating. What I find ironic is the higher the postage the more the seller has to pay on fees - so not really gaining anything other than discouraging potential buyers.

Don't I know it! I regularly have to tell sellers that Northern Ireland does not require International Air Mail. Quite often sellers will not post to Northern Ireland, and that's that.

One problem I had recently was a musical instrument posted at a very low price, but listed as collection only - this put off a lot of buyers - however my intention was to bid and then send a courier for it. Unfortunately the site looked at my location and would not allow me to bid at all. Apparently the seller would not post to Northern Ireland - in fact he wouldn't post to anywhere - but this blocked my bidding. 

It's not just eBay either - I still remember buying a small light Triumph part at £18 for which I was charged £21 carriage...

If there is anything within the Sussex counties (East & West) that needs collecting and then despatching, drop me an email and I will certainly assist in any way I can.
