GBP 1000 for postage is insane?

He's probably insane, Victor. Even with documented provenance the item is unlikely to sell for more than a few hundred pounds at most. I love all the pics of Mrs T and the link to the drama video, which are all irrelevant. :roll: :lol:

Isn't this the same person the listed George Washington's wig? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This coat is still on Ebay. The seller is nuts. Starting price £10K plus £25k postage!!!! I wonder how many times one could travel to Malta for £25K? When I challenged him about the shipping he blocked me from bidding! He has now ruined my Christmas.

You mean you actually attempted to bid? :lol:

 

[ausreenactor]

Andrew...

I can put a bid on for you! We can pay, then do a bogus Paypal claim. Get the money and then have a GBP10,000 jacket to wear. Verry Merry Christmas!!

Oh no, I just clicked BIN ....

 

[Roughwear]

Wow John. You mean there is now a BIN? :lol:

 

[HHjackets]

he's selling it for £10000K, not £10K.
all he has to do is chill on the sofa and ask himself ... do i feel lucky! well, do you ... dumbo!

 

[Roughwear]

Oops! You are correct. He maybe selling for £10000K, but it will never sell for this or even £1k. :roll:

 

[RCSignals]

He knew it was priced too low the first times. That's why it didn't sell. :lol:

 

[HHjackets]

he's got his nuts and noughts confused, i'm sure he meant to say £9.99 starting bid and £25 postage!
but i also think he's just having fun, or winding people up!

bottom of the page says:

and this bit is what ebay says right underneath it!
Most Buy It Now purchases are protected by the Distance Selling Regulations, which allow you to cancel the purchase within 7 working days after the day you receive the item.

Judging by the seller's response to me I would say he is being serious about the price and perhaps has no intention of selling the coat. Maybe he just enjoys the publicity he gets with this item on Ebay. All very sad!

 

[HHjackets]

the thing is even if someone makes a £1 offer, he'll get invoiced £25001 !
ebay would end the listing for excessive postage if they knew about it, but it's fun telling people, everyone has had a good laugh so far!

 

[Roughwear]

Why don't you report the joker to Ebay. They will probably do nothing, but with his excessive shipping and inappropriate link to a video clip of Margaret Thatcher Ebay should end the listing.

 

[HHjackets]

he's having his fun, we're having our fun.

 

[Vcruiser]

I don't get why anyone really cares...except as a joke :? But I guess...too bad we can't have him arrested..rather than just reporting him... :roll: :shock:

Arrested? This seems a very mild punishment! :lol:

He may be having fun, but why repeatedly re-list an item which will never sell at his price and incur listing fees?

Go on Van, buy it and give the guy an almightly shock!
