I just bid on a K800i without thinking... it has 8 hours remaining and now I won't be able to sleep hoping someone else out-bids me!



I'm so pissed about loosing my beloved new phone to this stupid so-called upgrade that I've decided to shell out upto ?60 on one of my own. I don't even care if the damned phone works; I just want a small video and mp3 player which takes decent video. It seams that they all come with a free phone, so what the hell...



except the K800i doesn't actually take decent video <!--emo&:rant:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/angry1.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='angry1.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Looks like they've been going for more than ?60 so I should be safe!





Ever bid on something and be glad you lost?

Didn't wanna! <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I've only ever done that once, it was on a set of hard to find carbs, starting bid of ?30. I put in a ?75 max, and got outbid by 20p. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Good thing as it turned out, after I lost the bid, I managed to get in contact with someone else selling the same thing but better condition for ?60.



But I do know someone who put in a ?10 bid on a rotten old TR7 for a joke - and won it! <!--emo&:o--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ohmy.gif' /><!--endemo-->



If you do end up winning it, you can just stick it straight back on the bay - maybe make a bit of profit in the process.

True, assuming it actually arrives. They're only doing 2nd class postage <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ooh 'eck - why do people do that? First class isn't exactly expensive! <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I've just thought of another one that happened:



My girlfriend had just got herself a laptop, and was looking on ebay for a wireless ADSL router (she was borrowing my spare wired one).



Me: "I'm just nipping out for a smoke. Don't bid on anything until I've had a look"

Her: "OK"

*5 minutes later*

Her: "Ooh, you're back. Is this one any good? It's only ?15"

Me: "Er, no, that's just a router. You want one with an ADSL modem"

Her: "Oh. Er, I just bid on it"

Me: "..."



As far as I know, that router is still sitting in her drawer gathering dust.... <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I had the opposite of that!



I bought an ADSL USB modem from Ebuyer for a friendly Scottish lass, and the dopey gits sent me a lovely D-link Wireless ADSL router instead! It's now working at CirrusMinor's house doing a grand job and I got the actual modem a few weeks later for about ?17 <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well I've not been drinking, and it wasn't on eBay but...



I just bought 25 customised fridge magnets. They were "Free" for only ?2.70 postage <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I'll post a picture if they arrive <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I've got some items I need to sell on eBay. I set up an account 5 months ago but never got around to doing it. I therefore have a few questions.



Is it easy to setup?

As I have no feedback will people trust me?

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.

It's very easy to set up, you just need a credit card thats registered to your address.



No one will trust you if you try to sell anything expensive, but I've sold a couple of things on there for about ?2 without any bother. I now have feedback of about 20 or so because I keep buying stuff; that's the easy way to improve your rating.
