I am probably worrying needlessly. Although I doubt it. And even if not it is an interesting thing to discuss.
But this evening I have won something for 99p that is way too cheap. The item retails for £50 new and is an electronics piece of hardware (am not saying what it is incase the seller reads this forum).
I have a deepdown feeling the seller is going to refuse this sale. Or come back with "its broken while packing up so cannot sell it" type response. And really I cannot fault him as I would do the same.
Another part of me is thinking if he does this to come back with a how about I pay more for it.
I have already paid for the item but when doing it I felt I was wasting my time doing it.
To clarify I was really wanting this electronics hardware but refused to pay £50 as its not worth £50. I would say more so £30 at the absolute most.
I looked on ebay just as a laugh thinking nobody would be selling it. But one person was with 6 days to go.
I bid a high bid for it to make sure I got it and waited expecting as usual to be outbid in the last seconds by those fools buying second hand stuff for more than you can get it brand new (why do they do that!)
And nobody else bid so it went for £1.
Has anyone else got stuff cheap like this and the seller went through with it or not?
And if the seller comes up with the excuse to refuse sale is there anything people can suggest as I want it. It is quite a rare electronics item (I doubt anyone else would be selling it for a good few months) and like I say £50 new.
