not that anyone would buy at his prices, but he is 5-10x over market right now.

yes, there's something posted in the forum about him. He was Spen2004 before on eBay and he has another ebay account (a third...). Just easy to check all ebay description of what's he's selling look the same and shipping is always really expensive....On another side, I bought him some stuff few years ago, not a bargain but not overpriced and he fastly shipped the minis.

I have been watching this guy and a couple others: ali_mick_white; Iprkon; richard72homeclearence; and i think maybe 2little2late2care was another i'm not sure haven't seen him lately. All seem to have high postage costs listed and i'm wondering if it is their way to get under ebays rising cost for final value. which i believe is now at 9%. Add to that the Paypal Fee and you get around 12% off your money. So postage , which is not considered when Final value is taken is being used as the way around it. I do and have always considered postage cost when bidding so if he wants $12 for shipping and i'm not gonna bid above $15. i can go upto $3. And he's ok with that cuz final value on $3 is alot less than on $15. That be me Theory ;D ::) :P

I've seen richard72homeclearence and bid on some of his bits and pieces, didn't win anything though but my approach is pretty much that... I don't mind paying high postage costs but it just means my max bid will come down to compensate :)

edit: erk.. sorry for the semi-thread necromancy! I know it's only 5 days since someone last posted but I always feel like a numpty either way
