Why does it happen to me?! I have just sold some brakes on there, now I stated local pickup because they are heavy. Yet a chap in greece has won them... Brilliant. So now he is asking me to ship them, having looked into it out of interest the shipping quotes are coming back as between £60 and £150.

 

He did say if it couldnt be done I shoul go for the next highest bidder, I feel a bit bad as the chap wants them for his S13 but can I be arsed with sorting out postage to greece for 25kgs worth of Z32 brakes? :gun_bandana:

To add to this, £150?! Just realised I could probably fly there my self for that! Can I just check the box in with Ryan air? It wouldnt need to go for a wee or anything....!

If he covers the postage charges then why not? Just add another tenner on for your troubles or something.

 

Trouble is did you specify that it was UK collection only at the start?

yup! Listed on UK only ebay as well, no postage collection only in the details and written in the listing! LOL

Damn Greeks if they aint smashing plates they are wrecking auctions

Exactly! either that or burning cars... oh wait thats the french!

I managed to ship that sort of stuff to Spain for a quite reasonable price. I used Parcel2Go.

I daresay it could be done cheaper but i'm not sure I can be bothered, already had to do 5 or 6 emails tonight this why I get frustrated because I just have better stuff to do! Like whinge on here! LOL

 

Annoying thing is the chap that came in second was one who emailed me and asked was I near where he lived in the near future, and indeed I am 10 miles from him on Monday, I could so easily just drop them of when im down that way problem solved!

Easy fix then....cancel the sasle to the Greek on basis of him not abiding by the listing and offer 2nd chance to the other guy.

Yep, that's what I would do.......:yes:

I normally tick the box that only bidders residing in the uk can bid, stops any dimwits bidding then.

Richard:crying:

use the money to get a flight to greece find him then slap him right in the face with the said purchase...wast of money but itll get the point across..just my opinion:taz:

Thats the thing, it was set to UK ebay only, and quite clearly states buyer to collect will not post! lol

 

Ah well, i second chance offered the 2nd place guy who has now decided he doesnt want them, so I have a 3rd chance offer I could do... but i'll see if the greek dude can organise a courier... Just out of interest, i'm away for work as usual, does anyone know how much a standard TT front brake disc weighs? I believe the calipers are 3.6kg each.

The bloody toe rag, after saying he had a mate in the UK that was going to sort it out for him and just emailed me now saying that he doesnt want the calipers anymore! argh bloody pain!

what a c£"k

thats bulls m8 send him a shed load of spam or sumfin
