These items sold a week ago on eBay for a tenner the lot, including loads of other bits, look how much the buyer is now trying to rip someone else off for it! Time to all send a message telling the seller not to take the piss! Might be worth putting some really low offers (say a couple of quid) in so they get the message.

Oh, my mistake, these sold for a combined total of £26, all now offered for sale with a combined price of £650.00!!!

Is it not the same person? The stuff still appears to be in Spaulding?

[Slyspark]

Still in Spalding, but a different seller. Original lot (all of the items combined) sold for a total of £26.00 Been split up by the buyer and now on sale for a combined total of £650.00! This is a total con and pushes up the price of streetlighting for other collectors when others see stuff listed for stupid prices and do the same. Not illegal, but very cheeky indeed. Doubt any of it will sell for these vastly inflated prices as none of it is worth whats being asked anyway. If they'd split them and made a little bit, selling them for something sensible, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but this is just a massive con!

I think we all should sit here and make up daft offers abs send them all together! People have to be stupid to pay it!

Have you seen the GEC 55w sox lamp that's for sale for £55 that has to be the longest listed item I have ever seen. I've been a member on eBay for 8 years now and that's been listed the whole time at the same price.

[Slyspark]

There's a GEC 55w sox on there for £59.00 too, thats one of the longest listings I've ever seen. I wouldn't pay £59 or £55!

[Danny]

I think the max I've paid for one has to be around £12.

Oh yeh that one started off at £99.50 then went down to 77.50 then is as it is now lol, fucking bell ends lol

[Slyspark]

Some people have no idea what stuff is worth, others know full well and just take the piss anyway!

[Danny]

A few names of people spring to mind lol. (No one here tho)

[Slyspark]

Yes, think I might know who you mean!
