Another dodgy one

£100 does seem a little steep for 3 to 5 metres of track. 3 to 5 metres is also disturbingly vague!
 
it s free enterprise at work, you can ask whatyou want for stuff you own..
its upto the buyer to work out if its a good deal..
 
I strongly suspect that is a mistyping, and the seller means approx. 35 metres......

You may well be correct - he does say (quote) "[style="color: #0000ff;"][size=16pt]I CAN CONFIRM THIS FOR A SERTIOUS BIDDER."[/size]
:bigsmile:

 
I asked him did he mean 35 metres and he said 3 to 5. He said that he had sold 12m to a local guy. So £100 gets you an unknown amount as the picture looks like about 20m!
 
12ft of brand new comes in at under £60.
 
He needs to make room for his Grandparents?????????? what no space at the cemetery? needs to put them in the garden??????????
 
First thing this morning i send this message to him

"hi if all in the photo is included in the sale i will give you your £100 i can either buy it now through ebay or if you prefer you can close the auction to save on fees please ring me on ***** ********so you can confirm my intentions are genuine"
Tony

Four messages back and forth later and asking IF all is included that is in the photo in every message i have just recived this reply

"I will measure the track the advert has caused some confusion. The picture os for display purposes only"

Says it all really :rolf::rolf:

Am i missing something here as i can't seem to see the 3 to 5m any more
could he have edited the text ?? :thinking:

And he states
THIS PHOTO IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY AND REPRESENTS THE SCALE AND CONDITION OF TRACK YOU ARE BIDDING FOR.

So poss not even a pic of what is for sale :thumbdown:

EDIT Oop's Tony posted the answer while i was typing this
 
I like the way he also says the track will be held for 30 days after payment, so that the Paypal transaction can't be reversed when you find out you've bought a 30cm length of chewed track for £100.
 
Hi All- i have asked the ebayer if the point is included in the sale ..also if i could have a picture of the actual track for sale -and can i pay on collection - as i have 100% rating on ebay -- waiting for a reply - -i will post answer regards Dave
 
HI.all --i have had a reply over night -very short and sweet---- hi update on pict to follow soon any elctrical -may work or not - may be damage to track as it has been outside -then surprise -- surprise --- paypal only before collection ----:thumbdown::thumbdown: regards Dave
 
I think 'don't touch with a barge poll' springs to mind there.
 
"Held for 30 days after payment" means that if you don't pick it up within 30 days, he will re-list it.
 
Noticed it was relisted yesterday afternoon. Totally incompetent listing and laughable BIN price.

Look at the new photo there are at least 9 lengths of flex and going by the number of sleepers each one is at least 4ft if not the full 5ft.. he says there is between 5meters and 5.2 well 5 M is 15ft ish yet 9 lengths............... oh i give in ive lost the will to live with the guy

Have a look at his other items for sale, it's in there now. Now there's 5 to 5.5m of track with an appropriate image. I think it's only just worth the starting bid, as the BIN price would get you the same amount of brand new.
