Default Whats been your best ebay bargin?

well for me got to me picking up a mint escort mk3 dash for £12

yep 12 quid!!! due to the bloke not listing it properly

then inturn re-sold it on there for £165

bloke payed on paypal etc but after weeks of asking me to hold it he turns round and says to me 'sorry for the delay been well busy and in the mean time found a mint s1 dash so dont need that one off ya now,you can keep the money i payed for it and resale it as picking it up is too much hassle'

i thought but sod it i ended up putting it back up on ebay and sold it again this time for £155

so a return of £320 for my 12 quid....well what can ya say


what have your bargins been?
