eBay why do i bother

[wizard]

Q: Hi would you include the mounting arm with the cover too? regards
me A: yes

Q: i'll offer you 8 pound regards
me A: you do not want it that bad then

Q: yes or no then as think postage is high.
me A: NO as for the postage i pay £10.00 to ups £2,10 to ebay and paypal on there new postage charges that leaves me £1.80 to make a wooden box and packing. ebay and paypal will then take £1.20 from the £8.00 and i will be left with £6.80. for £6.80 it would be less bother for me to smash it up.


Q: how much do you want for other?
me A: what other !

Q: Sorry, l meant how much do you want for it then!!!
me A: not sure i still want to sell it now

Q: why?

Hehe.
I love these conversations. The problem is that you have to lower your IQ significantly; a bit like the car boots. A few 'effs' & 'blinds' helps too

me: Why! I bought this lathe because i wanted the quick change tool post, once i have got my money back i don’t give a dam what happens to the rest of it. Tools are my hobby not a way to make or lose money.

Q: You must still be sure if you raised the starting price to 15.

me: I raised the price to put you off buying it

 

[wizard]

Q: at least your honest good luck with that.
me A: good can i now get on with my life

 

[wizard]

Q: Chill out and don't take life so seriously.
A: I’m ok I have just taken my happy pills

anyone want to buy a boxford lathe end cover :lol:

 

[wizard]

Q: Okay, I have the same lathe and have been looking out for a cover for ages. If you're happy for me to keep watching it I still might be interested but not if your going to get unhappy. Kind Regards 29-Sep-13
A: Unhappy I can’t stop laughing; this is almost as funny as when someone offered me £2.00 for an MG car door i was asking £10.00 for. I shot it with my pump action 12 bore and said ok its worth £2.00 now. Yes you can bid on it. :lol:

How much for the gourd?

Had a great result on Gumtree today selling a surround sound cinema system, never used Gumtree before. Got my asking price within 3 hours, paid cash collected and cancelled ad....happy! The ad cost £4.90

It is, but there are extra features that carry a fee.
