"Buy it now" at ?1, so I did.

From ?200 to ?1 and I've 'commited' and paid for it, can he back out?

    I can't believe I fell for that. I'm so embarrassed.

    What, he did you for postage as well?! I'd be emailing him about that, postage costs are all very well if you win the item!

    Staying with Ultimate, have a look at this one. I was thinking about buying the "black box" Ultimate titles, chiefly coz they look so nice and enigmatic. 26 quid though?! I may be altering my plans somewhat. I'm sure I saw Underwurlde going at the Buy It Now price of 6.99 a few days back. I should have bought it then. Ho hum.

    Cordially,

    Jamie

    Thankfully, I have all the big black box Ultimate games - 2 copies of Sabre Wulf (1 copy doesn't work, but the box and instructions are nice), 2 copies of Knight Lore (1 I had when it first came out, the other I just seem to have acquired), only 1 Underwurlde, 2 Alien 8's and 1 Nightshade. They just all look aces together.

    eBay have withdrawn the item for auction as it breaches eBay policy. ?3 refunded. That's me flush again.

    I missed that - what was the auction, and how did he rip you off?

    I bought nothing for 300 pence then got my money back. You can't say fairer than that.
    I left positive feedback, of course.....
