for some reason many moons ago i decided to buy a denys fisher -on the buses- board game from a seller- why? you tell me- although when i opened it i found it had never been played with and was complete even the cards were still in their perforations, it has sat underneath my wardrobe for the last 8 years -what have you thought was a good ebay buy at the time?

On The Buses game?

How much do you want for it? ;)

I one SOLD a 1950s/ 60s Post Office telephone line ceramic insulator on Ebay for £37 to a guy who collects them.

However, it was NOT this guy: http://teleramics.com/index.html

Not so much stupid in the normal sense but I bought a mega drive 2 about 4-5 years ago, I loved mine when I was a wee lad, I haven't even tested to see if it works yet.

Bought a replacement 8ft trampoline net for my lad's 10ft trampoline.

When it arrived it seemed to be about a foot short all the way round for some reason. I pointed this out to the seller and she said she THOUGHT it was a 10ft net. Also said after I returned it that she wouldn't reimburse my postage as she wasn't a business seller and couldn't afford to lose money.

EBay suggested she ought to, however, so she did.

When I've had a few beers and am browsing Ebay I'm always drawn to fishing boats for sale. This is despite I don't fish for a hobby neither do I sail.

I'll buy one yet and that worries me.

Do they sell lives as that would seem an appropriate purchase for regular browsers of the site?
