Always amazes me how poeple try and sell stuff on the Bay at stupid prices.

He's one I spotted the other day, pack of lighters that you can buy from Poundland for, yep, £1.

Yours on ebay for 100 quid, does include free postage though, amazingly he sold 41 of them??  :o

I paid almost a £1000 for my first Sony Bravia about 12 years ago 32" screen now you could probably get one for about £200.

My understanding is that when a company runs 'out of stock' of particular items, and they have no forecasted date for new stock, they increase the price to a ridiculously high figure so as not to get any buyers. When the item comes back in stock, they reduce down it back to the 'normal' price.
I read that there was some benefit to them regarding listing fees in doing this, but I didn't think lighters were that difficult to re stock?

If you click on the 41 sold number it'll take you to the purchase history for that item, As you can see they have been selling for £1.99... I've seen this often when I noticed something that would be £20 but it's listed at a redicilous price. From what I understand they do this when they are low or out of stock until they get more stock as to not have to pay to relist the item.

So if someone actually buys a £100 lighter, then some poor bugger is going to have to walk to the Pound Shop to restock then  ;D sad life isnt it,  :D
