???????? dovetail jig

[Vic Perrin]

Check the listing - it's changed BUT still dearer than the complete thing!

Oh yes it's changed from A Rare Vintage Double Book Press priced at £245 to A Heavy Duty Dovetail Jig still over priced at £55 plus £15 postage.

I am glad that my constant badgering to them has had some effect.

Still hope nobody is soft enough to buy it

I don't think I will be buying anything off them. Could you imagine what feedback I would get !

:roll: Vic :roll:

... well it has to be either nothing or positive - can't leave negative or neutral for buyers.

Well he has ended the listing and relisted it at a lower price again.

Good stuff. I doubt it will sell. I reported it to Ebay sending them a link to the Screwfix advert.

Have you seen some of the other dung he's trying to sell at insane prices? :lol:

I've just scanned through his "sold" items. Amazing! He gets good prices for stuff that goes for next to nothing at the average car-boot. Odd what folk will buy and the silly prices they will pay. There's many strange lot of folk out there. :shock: Still, good luck to him, we could always try doing the same

 

[Rhossydd]

Probably the most despicable part of this was the original listing that described it as a book press stated he'd paid £550 for it. Now it's described as something different.
Liar.

I agree but when you look at his feedback he is selling loads of stuff and the people seem to give him good feedback.

I must be doing something wrong when I try the very rare sale on eBay . But there again the stuff I am trying to sell must be crap

Not sure I see the issue here, someone is selling tat on Ebay and someone else is probably going to buy said tat.

I appreciate the argument that the above actions may prevent a fool from being departed from their money, but surely it is just delaying the inevitable extraction of the same funds on something similarly useless.

When said Tat is being described as Vintage Equipment and being sold at such an exorbitant price and what turns out to be an incomplete £20 Dovetail jig, I felt that personally my actions in getting onto the seller and seeing the said item taken off the site and being re listed for what it really is pleases me.

Ok some people are gullible and may have been sucked in to buying something that is not what it should be but if I get a chance to help these gullible people out I will do it again and again

It's not tat, it's a scam.

How would you feel if it was one of your nearest and dearest who turned out to be one of these fools on eBay?

Okay, I'll correct the semantics - tat & scam, although didn't the seller change the description when told what it was?

As for nearest and dearest being drawn in, I'd clearly feel for them but as said I'm not sure I see the big issue in the whole thing.

 

[Vic Perrin]

Ah well everyone to their own opinion ! I'm done with this thread now I think it's gone on long enough.

Deleted the deliberate lie when caught out, is a more accurate description of the situation.

Do you think fraudsters should be just allowed to get away with deliberate lying when selling ?

Yup

I appreciate some may see my comments as harsh, but in my experience, when items like this come up, the only reason people buy it is either;

A) They really do think its rare and / or unusual and buy to sell on at profit

OR

B) Have no idea what it actually is and buy it anyway.

If its A, then they are no different to the original seller, yet if they are B then I'm not sue how they are protected by bouncing them onto the next useless sale.

Neither of us know this, this is an assumption that fits the general and popular tone of the thread. Granted it is likely this is the case but we don't actually know.

No, but then I'd get more facts before assuming fraud, but as Vic Perrin points out; "everyone to their opinion".

I know and read that the seller originally claimed to have bought the item for £550 as a book press. That claim was then deleted after complaints to eBay about the listing.
