Never sure if these "look what's on Ebay" threads are a good or bad idea?


Good if you're looking for whatever it is (or selling it).

Not so good if you think you've found yourself a "bargain" and next minute "everyone" knows about it!!!

Tend to agree with Mike to be honest.

Plus one . I like to find my own "bargains" and the less competition the better

Can't agree more. Ban them I say, unless it's a club together and share the spoils item.

There I was being all big hearted and helpful I thought. I will go away and sulk (for about 30 seconds)

Like Mike, was a bit torn in my reply, as I have done the same myself in the past and highlighted items thinking I was doing the right thing, and the sentiment for others is spot on. Unfortunately when it comes to doing a deal everyone rightly wants the best bargain and goes into hunt mode (me included), so you can't really win. No-one wants to pay over the odds, and that's what ultimately ends up happening if everyone becomes aware - it sounds awfully selfish, but that I guess is the nature of the beast!
