:) ?13... I always did like chess *cough cough* ;) . I thought when I bought the job lot.. how the heck am I gonna get rid of this amstrad stuff.. it hopefully will pay for the speccy / c64 games in the bundle :)

It's more funny a load are watching a certain game and haven't bid.. so I upped the price before they bid ,as I found out it was rare.

    The price of the regular catfood I get for my cats* went up $5!

    *as opposed to the catfood I get for myself.

    Say ... innocent question here ... why do some ebayers not combine multiple lots? I see that it's more expensive for the buyer but why would a seller decide against doing that?

    thx1138 , yep it's far worse out in Hemel than back home in London. I am swerving when I drive to avoid the things. There is one hill in Hemel , and the were more like craters than potholes. They need to organise it far better when they dig up the road.. it's a joke back in London, it looks like a patch work quilt.

    znor. you eat cat food ?!?! speaking of which I bought another gold fish yesterday :) .. but I haven't named it..1 is darker than the other spots wise.. so I was thinking of calling them, "well done" and "medium rare".. the other far older one is called "cod".. so maybe I could call the 2 little ones chip & p(a)in... and the "pain" one hides behinds the filter and tries to do a kamikaze .. one did and well it's gone now. :cry:

    Nothing, I'm usually too miserable to be surprised by anything.

    Edit: Though I am moderately interested in seeing how much this QL sells for when its at $291 with 2 days to go....pretty rare on this side of the pond and I'm always tempted to list mine when I see one go for silly money.

    I don't on some things simply because I can't.. the envelopes I use will hold 6 tapes.. any more and they start moaning at the post office saying it's a "small packet" than a "large letter" . I can on single items (up to 6 obv. ).

    I've never sold enough to try to send a parcel though, simply because I haven't sold that many things in one go.

    also some ebayers have packaged up what they are selling and don't want to re or unpack it.. or put it in a bigger box.. someone I buy things off on ebay also posts here :) and they have their stuff pre-packed.

    Interesting, thanks for that. I don't do much ebaying, 1-2 items every other year, don't otherwise look at ebay at all.

    I had started my original post with a bit of negative thought behind it but then I decided to use slightly more diplomatic words "why would a seller decide against" instead of "why the @#$% don't those b@sts combine!?!?!" And of course there is usually a logical reason, and you stated them. Thanks :-)

    The problem here is I am the highest bidder, and have no intention of paying you :)

    Hee, Hee, I won it and I am not going to pay..........Mice Power............

    I'm suprised that muppet Ashley Cole is still married to Cheryl. He can't seem to keep his knob in his pants for more than 10 seconds. What a wanker.
    The trouble with tribbles is.......

    happens the land over.. why is she so special ?!?! thing is without all them hair extensions (that isn't her hair 100% in the adverts) and without 2 hours of putting slap on.. she'd look a plain jane like many others... sorry , but she can't sing for 5h1t compared to others who don't get a chance.. and yep after hearing what was done with her voice on one of her songs it was obvious.

    Vernon Kay's another div as well.. the wooden tops have more presenting skill ffs.

    poor gerald :( . Grey, I never knew you re-located to spain ;) .. and I ALWAYS report none payments and "stunts" to ebay.

    I should post a pic of the fish :D
