Page 1 of Do ebay sellers think we`re stupid?

I typed in RARE in the search box and selected the DVD box, and it came up with alot of highly suspicious RARE dvds.

for example:-

Someone is selling a RARE Red Sonja DVD region 2. You can still get it in the shops, and on the Internet, plus he`s selling it for 62p- not really RARE if your selling it for under a £1!!!

RARE Wes Craven`s - Last House on the Left:- You can get it uncut from any bloody internet dvd site!!!

R2- THE SHINING -KUBRICK- Inc Making OF-RARE :- They are selling this one in huge quantities in HMV!!!- There's one who's selling a RARE Stanley Kubrick box set, but strangely enough you can get it at HMV!!!

DIE HARD TRILOGY rare region 1 dvd box set:- WHAT!!! How is this RARE???

See what I mean. I look at the descriptions on each of these so called RARE dvds, and there is nothing in them for it to be RARE!!!

If you are one of the guilty who put RARE on items- explain yourselves. WHY DO YOU DO IT:- when you know full well they are not rare!!!

cos if they put key words in like that, everytime you look at their page, their `interest` rating goes up. It`s like selling a kettle but putting `Naked Nun Volleyball` in the description

A lot of ebayers clearly are stupid, just look at the ratings for those who sell region hacks, yes the ones that are available on the net for free and findable with just a quick google search.

But there is more hilarious sales on there than those. Take the number of people selling DIY kits to make your own projector, which use a portable TV set combined with a box and a fresco lense (yes those nasty plastic lenses they use in many childrens toys, but scaled up) to produce a 6ft image!!!

Of course they don`t mention just how pointless an image it is. Every now and again me and Chris discuss whether we should buy one of these and build it for an article, since we both own fancy DLP units to compare them with... :)

I luv the way that if just add .. "As played by Sasha" you get a stampede of trainspotters bidding on your records...

i agree with you on getting ripped off when play.com had the offer of 2 for £12.99 a while back. (forgot the right price) anyway some idiot was trying to sell them on ebay at 2 for £20 plus £1.50 postage.

I have given up looking for dvd movies on ebay as the prices you have to bid are higher than what you can get them for brand new in a lot of cases , is it stupid buyers who don`t know the true value of what they are bidding on or shady sellers bidding on their own auctions to push up the price ? I don`t know but some of the auctions are a bit suspect , two identical usb smart media readers ( different sellers ) in the listing next to each other 1 with no bids @ £4.99 the other with 6 bids @ £9 how ?
