It's always good when you get a "touch" on ebay. I've had a few similar, zippo lighter (copy) but fine for work, 2 leather wallets & more.
99p does'nt buy much so result all round i reckon. :y

To be specific - you've paid 3,68 not 0.99 but this is what e-bay looks like. Today, I've paid £6 for items and £12 for shipping... :(

Thats something else people dont always spot till too late esp on Buy it now.
Very cheap item and extremely high postage fee....saves the seller paying high listing fee.
-
Thats why i always use the "Price + P&P" lowest first function....
Make no odds to me - and have bought many a 99p gadget from Hong Kong that way. Egay tend to frown on that (due to loss of fees), but sod 'em!

Point well made about postage costs but i think most of us can fathom that one. Bear in mind you spend no fuel costs going elsewhwere to buy said item.
I think most of us have the savvy to realize an overall price. ::)

You would have thought so....but still catches plenty out.

I also had a 99p special today! Our tumble dryer went t1ts up last weekend flashing an F09 code, which according to hotpoint is an Eeprom failure so board is goosed :'( ) So been searching and found THIS (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170311617915) :y

Like £0.99 for a wrist watch and £9.99 for postage. Especially from Honk-Kong. I've never ordered anything from H-K but reading feedbacks, many people complain that item is lower quality than advertised. Not many will send it back.
And one more thing - when a custom import tax is added to to all items from China/H-K? I've heard many stories that Inland Revenue have sent letters to people to pay tax. Is it true?

Worse - Royal Fail pay it on your behalf and then charge you a handling fee for the pleasure...then insist you must go to the sorting office to pay it first.

Bought a few things from Hong Kong, little batteries in bulk, in particular, as said, just watch the P&P
Always been surprised by the quick delivery times from there as well, always faster than quoted, wich makes for a happy customer :y :y

Not sure what size your referring too but Pound shops have now starting selling batteries...for a £1 a time for 10 Kodak.
Various sizes in varying quantities.

The last ones I bought were for some mini remote cars, checking the shops was £2.99 for 3, I bought 50 for .99p and £6.00 p&P so was happy. I always check other prices first, but previous ones for electric 'T' lights were also much cheaper in bulk, relative to uk sellers who sell in 10's :y

One more thing I've noticed about ebay - some items finish at stupid time when people don't have time to check. This way my wife missed new Next trousers, that were sold for less than £2. Same pair was sold for £10.5 but it was Friday late evening.
I am also looking for a table top dishwasher. I have missed Bosch one for £67 but it was sold on Tuesday, very similar finished just now - went for £120 and 18 bidders! People are crazy when bidding on weekends.
-
I wont miss a purchase cos it ends at a strange time, not if I want really want it. Just put in a maximum bid and it will bid up to that automatically for you, if it goes beyond you maximum bid then it was perhaps not the right deal anyway. :y

I think the limit is £28 total value for a "gift", anything above this attracts customs duty. I once bought a BGA soldering machine from HK. It cost about £300, and I got a further bill for £50 :'(

It can happen, but should you not be out lambing, we have them here in the fields. :y
My daughter and her friends, at school, are raising chicks from eggs, they are naming them, I suggested PAXO as a name, it went over her head, as did standing by the sheep field and shouting 'mint sauce' ;D ;D ;D

Lambs are arriving in "dribs and drabs" at the moment; another 300 'Larries' are expected during the next two weeks.
I`ll be going `round the flock in a few minutes; at least the weather is kind at the moment. :y

It is, yes, but so many kids do not know where their dinner is coming from, we live in the country so not too bad but i think she needs to know where her Sunday dinner or her bacon butty, etc come from :y
enjoy the rounds, I will be comfy in bed :y :y :y

We've had the same conversation whe the kids were little.
Aww! Look at the lambs in the fields, arent they cute! Didn't we have lamb for tea last Sunday? ...... :-/

True! But I'd have to be hungry before I killed it to eat it. My Mum & Dad's neighbour's lad was a 'Lean Mean Fighting Machine' and were all given a wabbit for their tea while they were playing war. None of them were hungry enough to kill & eat it, and a lot of rabbits were given their freedom that week end! :-? :-? :y :y

agree but was not thinking of the kill, not going there, I have done it, but not pushing that point to much, enouh t know what they are eating, without too much detail, cheating, well she is only 8.. :y
