Angry E-BAY SCAM

I was looking for Prodrive alloy wheelcaps for my PFF7's on e-bay. Some of these were selling for £40. I ordered myself a brand new set yesterday from the dealers for £20 so beware..........

Don't think it's a scam. Just someone trying their luck.

Stephen,

As mentioned above, its all part and parcel of buying and selling on FleaBay. I personally love the site.

You just gotta be aware of retail prices etc etc and have ur thinking cap on and not be an impulse buyer and there are TOO many of those on FleaBay!

Thanks for the info nonetheless

I allways cross reference prices on ebay and the shops before buying.

yeah, noticed these myself. the other favourite is the P1 bootbadge and Prodrive wing badges, they go for more than dealer price aswell

the prodrive gearknobs are also dealer price on the first bid aswell.

like aceman says, it's alot of impulse buying and people getting carried away with the whole auction thing. i've been trying to get a decent priced king cobra driver for a couple of weeks, some went for decent cheap money (£70) but the last few (used) ones have finished at a delivered price of about £110.

i just bought a brand new one, delivered for £99. fools and their money, is that the saying?
