How Much?
Registered for eBay many, many years ago, but never actually gone on and bid, or really spent a bit of time looking around. It was only recently, having started clearing through my stash of Airfix kits and bits for the Golfs that I thought it's probably worth having a butchers and seeing what it's all about. Ian's been using it to shift stuff, and making a tidy profit in some cases. So, it can only be a winner, surely?
What's surprised me is the price some things go for. Putting a couple of bids in for some bits, say a kit with no box, just a plastic bag full of plastic. And it's selling for £5-6 
Now, I know the trick seems to be to put everything to "Watch" and then wait 'til the last few hours. So, having tried this, I snapped up a 1:48th scale Airfix Harrier kit for £3.11, saving over £8 on the normal retail price 
I can see how easy it is to get carried away tho, having started to bid for something, only to realise I was trying to outbid someone else at a price that was really taking the mickey.
I'm addicted
