Wink Ebay (again)

Can we find the other 99 and have a world dominating set??? Who does NOT have one of these? Check out what else he is selling. This is what is given when the yoof of today is "signed up"...

There is also some puzzles to keep you mind sharp prior to OASC!!!

I've got about 20 of the things - I somehow doubt that only 100 were made!

I have reported this idiot to e bay. He isn't going to sell many, and at £30 each none at all

What a con!

Saw hundreds of these dished out for free at Airbourne 2005. Rare? Only 100 ever made? I know MOD don't have a lot of cash to spare on publicity but I don't think we're in the business of limited editions of tat.

Non Limited Editions

I have just telephoned my local RAF Base CPRO and he confirms that these items were freely available in unlimited numbers. I have also e mailed the seller asking whether, bearing mind the £30 price of these items, they are individually numbered and do they have a certificate of authenticity? I don't expect an answer! E bay have sent me an automated reply saying that they will not be able to tell me the outcome of my complaint but I think we may find the auctions closed quite soon.

A2QFI - not sure Ebay will bother - if someone wants to sell items that are within Ebay's rules then they won't be fussed. I've just watched a used phone go for £10 more than O2 sell new (pre-pay, not contract), and I heard a lady being interviewed who made a lot of money buying items from M&S and auctioning them on Ebay.com as M&S would not ship stateside.

There's plenty of fools out there just waiting to be parted from their money. So long as the seller of the key-rings ships the product he's in the clear.

E Bay

I think that they may, in that the seller is claiming that they are a 'limited edition of 100' which they clearly are not. I agree that if someone can sell something he got for next to nothing, for £30, that is fine but if he boosts the price by claiming rarity or linited edition status then that is an untrue listing and a breach of the e bay rules. They won't tell me what they do but I shall be disappointed if the items are still listed on Friday - we shall see.

Limited Editions

The seller tells me that the item is No 5 and that it has a certificate of authenticity! I have asked him if the item he is referring to is a key fob or a wrist band and asked him to post a photo of the item, showing the number, and/or the certificate of authenticity. Perhaps I had better go and buy a hat to eat!

I'm not sure buying an item from someone called "jono9bums" is that wise anyway!
