Why...?

[dieselboy]

I just sold my 5mm wheel spacers on Ebay. I doubted I'd get £10 for them so put on there for £9.99 starting with free postage. Seeing as someone else is selling Ally ones £10 per pair plus postage that I'd get £9.99 for the four.

The bidding sat at £12.50 for almost the week and I was pleased with that. I logged in to see the final sale price and they went for £30! Why so much?

I'm with Tony on this after spending a lot of time at antique auctions, all you need is a stupid woman in there who hasn't got a clue, I was bidding on something worth 30 quid one night and two women came in on the bidding, I wanted the item but only willing to go 20, at 25 I shook my head and watched these two idiots scowling at each other across the room after placing bids, £60 it went for, even the auctioneer was shaking his head and cracked a funny about it being a record for tat.

I had a look at the buyer and its "Mrs. something"

She'll want her money back when she gets them - she'll not realise how small 5mm is !

[dieselboy]

5mm is 5mm. Unless someone has kind of exaggerated sizes to her some how? For example she may have assumed 5 inches. In that case, it's entirely hers and her partners fault.

Maybe both 'idiots' wanted it. There is a possibility that even 'stupid women' might just like to own something.

I suppose the saying that it's worth as much as someone is willing to pay fits here then. I'd say there are a lot of idiots around, in general.

@MWS I did that the other day!
