Greed on the bay

I am after another gfx card and looking upon the bay I am shocked to find the asking price for second hand gfx cards!

I am after a asus 980 strix oc and got one for xmas for £400 new and the prices I am seeing people are wanting are £350 plus for second hand,seriously wtf :eek:

They are roughly £400-£420 new might as well buy new as no second hand ones at fair prices.

Same with a lot of things I'm afraid. People wanting £97 for a £100 Amazon/Argos gift voucher.

The problem is that bidders get carried away on eBay and pay too much, potential sellers see the silly prices people pay and then up their prices.

might have to go down that road!!

Also people try to get their buyers to pay their fees. 10% of that price goes to eBay/Paypal, and people have got wise.

Seems reasonable to me. A £100 gift voucher doesn't actually lose any value because it's second hand. It's still worth £100!

The trouble is with ebay, is you have to remember about 14% is going to be gone after ebay and paypal fees and many private sellers factor that in to the used price.

You are clearly too used to the gypsies in the Member's Market who never want to pay the right amount for anything. The real world doesn't work like that - suck it up

No they don't. They just list it and hope to achieve the most possible.

I love the MM "cheeky offer £(quarter of asking)" or holding out over £1

Not with that post count.

I sold a TP-Link Powerline kit for near retail price on there. The new kit was only £20! I'm pretty sure some just get caught up in the excitement of the final minutes.
