conoflex highlander for £96 + £10 postage and it had a complete re-build about 1 year ago....and i have had it for 6 months.
Ebay can be good but, i am thinking of buying a Century Carbon Metal or a Century C3LD and if you shop around like i have things can be cheaper from some tackle shops than on Ebay as i have found out. |

i think what happens on ebay is people think oh auction it must be going to be cheep so just keep on bidding
ive often seen thing in a sellers buy it now cheeper than what they go at in the auction so always cheek before you bid

Ebay is great for bargains etc etc. I sell and buy on a regular basis my only advice is check there feedback before putting in a bid.

Someone was selling a daiwa tdx uptide rod on ebay with a reserve of god knows what . Well the rod reached £82.00 + £10.00 p&p (brand new they are retailing for £99.00 and free postage). It has now been re advertised buy it now for £100.00 + £10.00 p&p . Are some people on a different planet..? |

The one thing that sends me up the wall with ebay is that a lot of sellers have no idea about geography.
Example blah blah for sale, free P&P United Kingdom.
Only to find out that due to their lack of knowledge, they want to charge additional postage.
I know some sellers do advise additional for IoM, IoW, Channel Isles etc, but at least they advise on the sales page, instead of sneaking up on you to rob you and claim that NI is not in the UK.
I DO DECLARE THAT WE IN NORTHERN IRELAND ARE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, SPEND STERLING AND PAY GORDON'SWAGE.
Rant over.

i still spend a small fortune on Ebay at times but as others have said i make sure what im buying is a better price than what i can get it for elsewhere,
my main problem with Ebay these days is the fact its absolutely flooded with really bad quality cheap crap from Hong Kong and China.
That being said there are still allot of bargains to be had.
My Number 1 tip for Ebay is - Never place a bid until the last 20secs |
