eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?

[frailer5]

Hope am allowed to flag this, but have listed this Tange900/Yamaguchi Sports Frame_bicycle here, on forum, for a work colleague.

I know I am fast becoming a grump old man, but is anyone else having difficulties with ebay - I had mainly been using the iphone app, mainly because it has the very useful feature of limiting your searches to new listed items but the latest update broke it.

I went back to the main site & saved searches are now called "followed searches" Only problem is that the edit searches feature doesn't work. It appears that followed searches are also duplicated as "interest lists", which you can edit, but which don't update the followed searches

I was able to revert to the previous version of the iphone app so am back to being able to edit searches again.

Its enough to drive you to drink.

Fortunately the best and worst of ebay still regularly appears here.

Only ever use it at home, or work (Shhh), but less and less. Haven't noticed anything too terrible, but then I don't use mobile devices for it.
Yes, the best and worst. Their critical-mass-reached has now enabled them to gouge us like the Russian Mafia... who else can gain a toe-hold? Gumtree is like the sleazy back alley in comparison, (yeah, I know, they own that too...).
/end rant.

[singlespeedscott]

Yeah my phone app isn't showing my latest saved searches.

If you look at the latest reviews in App Store you will see all of those issues plus many more on the seller side are common complaints. I'm looking every day for the next update. One thing you can do on mobile is look in your feed for followed searches. At least it shows the latest listed items. But that's about it.

Had to take a second look just to make sure "1/8th scale" wasn't written anywhere.

[Clydesdale Scot]

almost 1/10 of the price of these and it is free postage; go on buy it!

There is a range of bikes from this seller and car stereos also- i think if this is the real price then the seller must have purchased a whole container load from manufacturer who usually only sell in bulk. The seller must have another business and makes a profit from whatever else he has in his shipping container- so i would think these bikes are being sold at manufacturers cost just to make up a container load. Or there is something inside one bike that is nicely hidden destined for sale on the streets- if you know what i mean im not sure it would be a good idea to buy one- as the old saying goes " if it looks to good to be true......."

A lot of money for an old 105 bike.

Contacted this guy a while back after he pulled an auction. He got a bit worried that the lowball bids on his complete bikes (all of which look the business) would leave him in tears. So he's parted them all out. Fair call I think.

[singlespeedscott]

Fair enough. There's no way in the current market that I would list any auction below what I want for it.
