Yep,Crazy! But crazy people are bidding for them too! I mean,why the f*ck would you want 25 laptop cases anyway? Some independent companies might want them if they are to offer refurbished laptops to their employees and haven't got the bags for them!
Subaru stuff goes like crazy on ebay tho! Scooby owners will pay anything to get stuff if it is to with Subaru.I mean the stupid keyring will go for 20 quid which is not worth more than a fiver max!
My boyfriend says even the turd with "Subaru" written on it will sell on ebay with 50 people fighting over it!

20 quid is crazy coz Parcelforce charge flatrate £12.45 (within UK) for upto 10 kg load to deliver within 48 hours.So,yes,the sellers do try to cover the listing and final value costs etc. too.
Surely,25 laptop cases are well under 10 kg unless he is supplying the laptops with them!

If anyone from here bids and wins the bid for these cases, know that I work in Wrexham and I can pick them for you and post them to you for real cost.He will have to package them tho!

I know people try to get their listing and selling fees through postage costs but £20! WTF!!!

Edit..25 of them so perhaps cost is fairish.

Fairly common scam - you need to be VAT registered to pull the price excludes VAT though !

Postage doesn't seem too bad for 25 bags.
