I am astonished at the rip off 'but it now' prices people are asking for stuff these days, its taking the P and milking the scene for all you can get, sorry if its anyone on here but I think its a damn shame that they can hike up the prices so much.

I will continue to list my spares for 99p start!
 
Not yours fella! check out the price of the full set! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-CAMPER-T2-EARLYBAY-DELUXE-BUMPER-TRIM-68-ONLY-/220671643493?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33610e0f65" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

While you're having a gander, check this one out too! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HaZet-450-8-9-Toolbox-VW-Beetle-Bug-Split-Porsche-356-/350396571157?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5195435e15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
 
I've got hub caps starting at 99p on there at the moment :lol:

But hear what you are saying, there seems to be a lot of bandwagon jumping with some stuff that's for sure. I always prefer to offer on here first at what I believe to be fair prices before opening up on ebay. And sometimes people will PM with what they believe is a fair offer and I'd much rather a part gets re distributed within this forum.

It's the use of the word 'rare' for some items on ebay that raises a smile sometimes

Must have opened another shop if it is, I noticed 'he'? has left more than 20 feedbacks for buyers but got only 10 back, how does that work? Do that many people not bother with feedback?

I sell quite a lot on eBay with the This Way Up sticker business and I try so hard to remedy an issue, sometimes more than the sticker is worth - so I end up making a loss if you divide up the tiny margin against time. All that is for a sticker sold for between £1.50 and £4. I couldn't imagine constantly taking £150 or more from someone and treating them like that. Looking at his feedback a lot have been late deliveries etc. How can you treat customers spending that kind of money with you like that :shock:

I'm not just saying 'ohhh i care about my customers' blah blah for the buddy points, but I've always thought I put a lot of effort into a very low-value product, yet I myself will buy something expensive (most recent £80 router from play.com) and get very poor service. :x

VWclassics uk seems to have stopped trading on ebay UK but is still going on the Italian site :?

Phew! :lol: No not me, I have a pair of rears for £90 buy it now...... :roll:

and a full Westy interior for £600 Buy it now.

I have offered it cheaper on here and am pretty transparent with who I am....same name on Ebay (Faux75).....feedbacks good too. :mrgreen:

To be fair, the bumper trim is rare.......but it is unlikely to sell at that price.
