Why do people not research the prices of things new before selling or bidding on eBay.
Having been keeping an eyeball on fleabay for roof tents I stumbled upon a dude selling his prime tech roof tent.....his starting bid was more than they are new

Rant over!
What is it about people paying through the nose for roof tents you've only got to google the price to see if you are putting silly bids on!

Am thinking you have hit the nail on the head there!
I messaged the guy I was so cross! Lol
Its a shame you can't put a open comment on the item to warn people of over pricing

Surprisingly, expecting abuse from the seller after informing him prime tech sold them a bit cheaper new

He messaged me back just now and said he was amending the price

Roof tent?

I plan on doing it a easier and way much cheaper way

Buy some lengths of flat bar and a ratchet strap then rivet the together to mode a system like caravans use where it rolls out, then fit a standard tent, much cheaper and use the roof rack to tie down to

Had considered that option, but need more robust

Kayaks are the same on eBay - go for more than they cost new for some reason.

Some people must just be under the impression that because it's on ebay its automatically cheaper.

I often see people paying stupid money for broken snap on stuff. Sometimes more than the tool actually costs from the rep.

It seems to happen loads with roof tents. Yet everything I've sold people have had a bargain :doh:
But it only takes two secs to research the item you are looking at to give you a rough idea. Very daft people are!

People on eBay are idiots, they think it must be a bargain. I sold an inflatable for towing behind a speedboat a few years back, I sold it on an auction for about £70, they were available brand new for £50 and must have come up in the searches but someone got carried away with the bids and paid too much... I wasn't going to complain though!
