???????? dovetail jig

[riclepp]

Saw this on the flea bay, says it is for book binding. Looks more like a dovetail jig without the templates????? What do you guys think.

I cant tell if its supposed to be an April 1st joke or not but the odds are they know what it is, some people...

Thats bloody ridiculous!!

Some people put stuff on ebay and expect a mint for it when really it is only worthy of the bin!!

 

[Vic Perrin]

Things like this really p me off about eBay. I contacted the seller via eBay and told them what it was and included a link to the Axi site where the new jig comes for £69.99.

Their reply " well it might be a dovetail jig without the fingers but it was being used as a book press from where we got it from" Good eh !

Well I have exactly the same thing sitting under my bench that I don't use and don't need. Will leave the templates on and try for £300.

He claims it cost £500 when new ...!

He's got to sell it though before he makes any money.

Hi

How does the 'ask the seller a question' work? Could you ask a question along the lines of

'You do know this is a dovetail jig minus the template and available complete for £70 don't you?'

Would that then appear at the bottom of the listing?

Regards Mick

 

[brianhabby]

It only appears on the listing if the seller wants it to. When he replies there is a checkbox that he has to tick in order to display the question and his answer on the listing. So it's not automatic.

If the OP edits the title to include "Adjustable Twin Book Binding Press" Google will probably show this thread when a search is made for those words Same as Google is showing the eBay listing with those words

I've done that Mick but the question does not appear on the questions asked section of his advertisement . I think the seller has the option as to whether or not the question is displayed.

How on earth do people have the gall to do something like this? It beggars belief.

My latest message from the seller after pointing out they are trying to rip someone off

Dear vicnaudrey,

Are you interested in buying this?

You can get the identical, but COMPLETE, thing from Screwfix for £44.99 so this guy appears to be having a real laff.

 

[RogerP]

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

 

[brianhabby]

I'll bet the guy is getting really excited with all the 'Watchers' he's getting - doesn't realise they're all just having a laugh at his expense

Brian
