i'm not really having a go at the guy as i buy and sell stuff on for a profit myself, and he's been decent enough to me in the past, but you do have to laugh sometimes :lol:
i got offered 2 carded figures by a seller on ebay today, and asked for the photos. while trying to research their value on ebay, by complete chance i found the exact same figures on ebay usa - the guy trying to sell them to me had bough them a week earlier :lol:
without telling him i'd seen where he got them, i offered him slightly more than he paid for them (which is considerably less than he first wanted) and he accepted.
this is the funny part though - after asking for my wants list, he sent me a photo of an item on the list. i thought i recognised the photo, and sure enough he had grabbed it off of a well known sellers website. he wasn't trying to rip me off, but he was trying to charge me £140 for something that he didn't own and was going to buy from this other shop for £90 - a nice £50 profit on something he doesn't even own :lol:
fair play to the guy for trying, but you have to be careful
