My first ever auction!

Selling a Nokia 6680 that i bought by mistake. I never realised what simlock is, thought it just meant I could change the simcard 3 times *sigh*. If anyone would like to take me out of my misery then could you please bid?

Nigerians keep trying to buy it, really annoying

 

[leggy]

Nice touch to your auction... "And please, no nigerians again"

Made me laugh anyway

 

[Munkey]

Even when i put that in they did it again!

It says on it: WILL POST TO UNITED KINGDOM

Oh well, if he pays me through paypal he can have the bloody thing, i dont care.

Anyone want a nice sofa bed? ))

ooo, in a few months yes I could do with one. Wouldn't be a good idea to buy one before 2 walls are replastered and a carpet installed though :/

Abit NF7-S2 motherboard with no reserve. Not the uber overclocker everyone loved but still a good little board. Will probably get bought by some idiot thinking it is the oh-so-great NF7-S v2.0 and then complaining but if they don't want to read the description and look at the picture...

 

[Kryten]

This is getting funny, 2 days left, 21 people watching it... 5 quid more and I've made a profit on something I bought new for 20 quid

 

[Yaka]

prolly will go higher having said that i had 36 wathers the mem i sold last week but didnt get many bids

I've been looking on ebay... how the hell do these pc sellers make any money?
I priced one up on ebuyer and a pc with same components went on ebay for £50 less.. and it was happening all the time.

I'm sure trade prices arnt much cheaper than ebuyer? I remember Micro-Direct's trade prices were not much cheaper than their retail..

 

[Kryten]

Depending on the amounts you buy from the suppliers and how much brown nosing to their supplies manager you've done, the trade rates can vary quite a lot. The most basic is remove 17.5% VAT (although that wont affect you if you're looking at this from a business POV), then rates will typically vary between 10 to 30% off retail price. Most outlets will use a *HUGE* array of suppliers to make sure they get decent prices, and the larger ones will often have their own contacts within the OEM's involved. I was lucky enough to have some contacts at Dabs who put in words with the likes of Asuscom and Crucial for me when I was in business.
Even then, the bigger folks (like, god help us, Ebuyer) will just rely mostly on low margins and bulk of sale - I believe they offer discounts on bulk purchasing also (even to the public).

PS : My motherboard is currently at £21.11 - so thats 1.12 profit from purchasing it new. I suspect people are a little more aware of eBay than some of the cheaper PC suppliers - they probably only compare prices from the likes of PC World and eBay

I have a mystery payment of £68.81 on my credit card bill to ebay, and no activity on my account matching that amount. I've emailed ebay, and told my credit card company. Not panicking yet, but grrrr.

Had someone who kept ringing up asking us to confirm my address and details. But I had to just hand over my address, without them telling me anything about why they wanted it, which I wasnt happy with.

Anyway, finaly gave up after a few phone calls and arguments, gave them my address and it was a debt collection agency for ebay. I'd sold something and my credit card had expired.

Where the heck do I stand on something like that? They can't just ring up asking me to confirm details without telling me what its about - it could be ANYONE....
Not to mention they claim to have sent 3letters, I opened one today when I got home, which was the only letter i've recieved.

 

[Tom]

Have Ebay contacted you regarding your account? They should have, you can't just go saying nothing and then call in a debt collection agency.

You should ring them and sort it out, agree phoning you and asking for security details is out of order.
