so your telling me, if you had something, you wanted to sell.
It was worth P * 2
youd sell it for P
just because you think you would be ripping someone youve never met over ebay off?
its like selling your house whats worth X for 1/2 of X because you dont believe the market is right and your ripping someone off

And a plastic bottle is worth £500?

Also, what the hell is P * 2?

Im not saying they are worth it as objects, but if thats what people are willing to pay, then he might aswel sell it for that much.
It was simplified algebra.
P multiplied by two, could have been X or T or anything was just a substitute of a number or unit.
You cannot say somethings not worth it if someone is willing to pay the price.
Its like escort cosworths, are they worth 15k? no infact theyre worth £70 scrap, things add to value, like heritage/condition and rareity.

And you didnt answer my question about the houses?
I cant be arsed arguing anyway its christmas, spread the love.

worth £50, these are prob one of the most hard to get interior bits for a mk4 escort.

i would pay good money for brand new ones but not for so called 'mint' ones

As said, and it is true, a fool and his money is easily parted.

If you have something that is hard to find, then why not chance you luck? after all, if they don't seel, it isn't as if they are bannished to the depts of space, they just relist them at a lower price.

I agree, its human nature. He's paying to advertise so its upto him. Ive seen some of these go for £70 before when i was looking for some good ones, so £150 ''OR BEST OFFER'', is not a million miles away.

Cant blame him at all, he's not forcing people to buy them. Blame the people who are prepared to shell out shit loads for a bit of plastic if anyone.

If they sell, then there worth it. If they dont then there either not worth it, or the right buyer hasnt seen them yet.
