Post by: NathanRelton on May 28, 2012, 12:40 PM: I did agree to sell them on here last week but didnt receive any money. I told him if i didnt get payment by Sunday evening i would have to ebay them. Sometimes its easy to get carried away then you realise its not quite the end of the month and the bank balance is a little low!

I had a Pro class stem for sale on here and reduced it to £78 for no takers so i slung it on Ebay. Within 2 mins i had a bidder asking for a BIN, i said £90 delivered but he said he'd like it a bit cheaper so i said pay me gift and you can have it for £80 delivered, he responded by opening the bidding with the £40 starting price, up to a few nights ago he was winning it for £95 + £4 postage :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2: :LolLolLolLol: he could have had it for £80 previously. ??? I had 52 watchers in the end aswell.
