I'm not so sure cosmo, it's not something thats rare and desireable, it's some PR company who don't want to give all the money back, that doesn't make a collectors item imo.

Yeah but I imagine a lot will get their money back, the ones who dont will be wanting to keep them as they are fans.
So give it 6 months and the amount on Egay will be a tenth of that now.

Not a bad bit of business, still think they'll end up being worth way more than this in years to come.

If they're going for 100 quid with that many watchers, why on earth did you put a reserve on?
That's the one of the busiest web sites in the world.
As if you need a reserve if similar items are going for similar money to what you want.

Cos I wasnt sure exactly how much they would go for and I needed to make at least £100 on each to cover my costs... altho now it turns out that eBay charges 10% as a final value fee  Thieving bastards!

So shill it if you're really scared.
You would have almost certainly got more interest with no reserve.
I've sold cars and thousand quid camera lenses starting at 99p. They go for what they're worth.
And re the fee, yes, this is why I've stopped using it. Ridiculous.

The best bit is they'll charge you to use Egay, then they'll charge you to use Paypal when its the same company

Was fully expecting the auction to be for some of those used Japanese knickers in a box. 
Why are you in Dublin Robbo?

Im sure it must be illegal them forcing you to use Paypal, must be against some european competition rules.

I don't think they force you, they just make it difficult to use anything else.

Waste of time tbh. They don't care.
