|
|
Hi all, I have been watching the prices of i3`s on ebay for a few days now as a matter of interest, to see how they go pricewise. Some of them start off for next to nothing and towards the end go for some very strange prices, ie: over the top. Do people actually buy them from ebay?
Some have gone for £170. How come they dont check out the prices through google or whatever, I have now found that comet are selling for
£129 with free postage, which will probably be the new maps and software etc and a guarantee, do they actually believe they are getting a bargain?
I suppose it`s a case of "pays your money and takes your choice"
Regards....Dilwyn _________________ ***************************************

The prices on ebay seem inflated across the board. It constantly staggers me how much people seem to be willing to pay for stuff on ebay, especially used stuff.:
I have two theories:
1) People get off on the ebay thing. They like bidding and watching their ratings increase.
2) Internet newbies think of ebay as being synonymous with "internet shopping". |
