Title: Is it me or are the yanks buying all our stuff?
Post by: Jazzchimp on March 19, 2006, 07:43 PM: Just sold some stuff on ebay and every item is off to the US. Strange. Just wondered if this is happening to anyone else. ???

I did sneak a little bid in there and assumed that you would get them in the end, but that really is top price at the minute :o

Post by: billstup on March 19, 2006, 08:05 PM: Yeah I thought that around the £350 mark should win them, but added another £57 just to make sure, and was £153 short :wtf: I think I only paid £183 delivered for the pair that I won at christmas ::)

Post by: billstup on March 19, 2006, 09:02 PM: Those wheels had a little bit of history too, they belonged to Darren Stock of Halfords fame, and they were being sold on his behalf.

However I have just won ORANGEZIPPYS graphite Z rims for £137 so its not all bad :daumenhoch:
