OK this is not my fight, nothing to do with me really, but it's made me angry.
Just before Christmas, looking for a new camera for Esme I found this and put it on my watch list. I was really pissed that I forgot it, and only remembered a few minutes after it finished, especially in view of the price it went for.
I thought no more about it though until today I get an e-mail telling me that it has been re-listed, which I thought was a bit suspect so I had a look at teh feedback associated with it. Sure enough the seller has got -ve feedback due to telling the original buyer that it was lost in the post, and now re-listing it. The seller has answered this feedback with the story that it was lost in the post, and the buyer reimbursed but that the PO had found it, minus address label and returned it. Hence it was now his to re-sell but this time with a £59.99 start price!
Even if the story is correct (utterly unlikely) surely the honest thing to do would be to have offered it to the buyer again.
Like I say this is nothing to do with me, though only because I remembered too late to bid, but it has pissed me off more than it should. Probably because the bastard has got away with it.
