Another ebay 'bargain'

Manwithoutfear · 25-05-09, 08:46 PM

Hello

I have seen other threads about dodgy items, but this is more of a weird one!

Take a look Merlin Compound Bow on eBay, also, Bows Bow Accessories, Archery, Sporting Goods (end time 28-May-09 00:56:00 BST)

They either think alot of the bow (check the price!) or they know nothing about archery (check the detail about the product).

So...
1) are they serious?
2)if they are serious does anyone know a good doctor?

even the arrows are different lengths!

I saw that one!! Never going to get the starting price never mind the BIN.
I remember the person that was trying to sell and old Browning Pro600 for £400.
Theres also a SKB Freedom case that comes on quite often, its on now, for £90!! You can get them new cheaper.

hmm maybe the dog is included?? Thats where they get the £900 BIN

I think they're having a laugh...maybe there's a clue in the seller's name - lillyhaha!

Has anyone ever thought of contacting the seller to let them know of their 'mistake'? Instead of just taking the p!ss.
It may well be a genuine fault.
Not every seller on eBay can be an expert. I know this by experience when seller things for friends & family. You just have to try & be as accurate as possible & not mislead anyone.

There's also a small arithmetic problem. The seller claims 12 arrows, which is what the picture shows, but counts only 2 Easton Stalkers.
Nit-picking, I know..
