When I left school one of my first jobs was in a parts department in VW/Audi dealer and we had a stock room just like that full of old beetle/camper van/ghia/mk1 golf parts none of it listed or priced up. Wish ebay was about 12 years ago

cant see you getting any bargains there boys... he's the fella that sells stuff on e-bay, then charges Postage, Credit Card Charges and then VAT on top of the final hammer price...

He charged a customer of mine for overnight delivery, but it took 2 weeks for the goods to arrive..... well it questioned he said it was overnight, I sent it yesterday...

Fookin robber.....
