e-bay rant
I'm getting really p*ssed off with the alloy wheel retailers who constantly renew/list alloys on e-bay! Arghhhhhh!! I don't want aftermarket alloys!
I thought the bulb boys were bad, but these guys are extracting the urine!

I second this it really gets on my nerves! I mean there are more bloody alloys on there than the cars themselves.

You would think they would get the message when they don't sell any

Re: e-bay rant
If you look at the prices it only needs one nutter to buy a set and the sellers are quids in.
Perhaps we should start the inqusition to find out who is the "Mr Nutt" within our number.
Unlike Robert I view it as a minor irritation that might generate bargins by hiding the real XM stuff from all but the most persistant of us.

Re: e-bay rant
John has hit the nail on the head here! Filtering on e-bay search is no good, as many businesses sell stuff I want to buy. Filtering out a list of sellers is helpful. Just last night I persevered through the myriad of crap and found a beige leather interior that I had missed previous!Unlike Robert I view it as a minor irritation that might generate bargins by hiding the real XM stuff from all but the most persistant of us.

Yes but he wants far too much for it.
Price is as unrealistic as the alloy wheels.
