744052 2009-02-06 23:35:00 Yes and then you get guys who after the auction has finished ask you for a buy now price, when they did not even bid on your auction (which had a normal reserve) so you have no idea what they would like to pay ! Digby (677)
744053 2009-02-06 23:37:00 One thing I noticed is that almost 95% of the people that asked questions in the auction doesn't bid at all...

I think you have defined the word," git."

744054 2009-02-07 00:16:00 I always ask questions, I want to be sure before i spend my cash. And lets be real that isnt getting any easier to come by these days.
I also dont bother unless there is good photos as well, i dont go for ones that have the photo then underneathe it may say 'goods may differ from the picture shown' or whatever.

744055 2009-02-07 09:33:00 I asked some questions on an auction once, the guy banned me

Had to make a new account to bid on it and win it. Right pain if you ask me.

Unless it something like "Hey I think your mum left the wrong change by my bed this mornig..." type of thing.

Hi Rob
Can't make out your avatar. After pondering for quite a while it looks like Michael Jackson on the left, knifing a tubby guy, and three free-standing coat hangers on the right. Have I guessed right ? Presuming so - do I get a prize ??

744058 2009-02-08 10:07:00 What surprises me is there are some seriously greedy or just stupid people who sells second hand things at over 90% of the price of a new one.

For example, some guy is trying to sell a used E8400 for $320 when a new one is $340. And another one trying to sell a used GTX260 for $500 when a new one is $534. Not to mention a 4870, which is a better card, is only $440 new.

What made me laugh was seeing Ubuntu for sale on Trademe a few years back - when I had just got ten copies in the mail for free - and could have gotten 100 copies if I'd wanted...

Yep. A few people are actually selling free, legally downloadable softwares.

Criminal if you ask me.
