robb_o Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Just out of interest, why do you lot bother selling stuff as cheap as a fiver or less?Surely the hassle of packing it and posting it is not worth it?I would personally just keep the part for spares or chuck/give it away.

Ash-Kennard Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) bit pointless.if you have no need for it you may aswell sell it. you obviously have never learned the value of money and probably had mummy and daddy pay for everything.EDIT: ok, your 23 bit different. you are probably earning far more money that the majority of us so dont really give a shit about 5ers here and there, but for some of us, its the difference between new parts of not.

Deonn h Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 So you would rather not have money for something , just throw it away instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robb_o Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hmmm, I see your point...Maybe I was being slight narrow minded.I suppose the thing that set me off was seeing that someone was selling some rim tape for 50p lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Im sure most people will have found out that when you spend little bits of money such as fiver here and fiver there with out thinking just because its a fiver, it starts to mount up and becomes a fair size of money. Its the same with selling, and alot of people have to sell arms and legs to get parts, money doesnt come easy to some of us so every pound counts.I suppose the thing that set me off was seeing that someone was selling some rim tape for 50p lol.they was proberly selling that as they thought it might be of some use to someone who was desperate or something and not selling it for the 50p because it would cost that to send it.

Tommy d Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Exactly, kind of makes you feel better that your unwanted stuff might be some use to somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod_biker_barney Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 unwanted stuff might be some use to somebody else.Agreed...plus, if it's a decent part ie: frame it may just be cluttering up space, so why not sell it...also, it's so cheap as second hand things have no value once they've been used for some time...

NileBrown™ Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I suppose the thing that set me off was seeing that someone was selling some rim tape for 50p lol.Yeah that was me who was selling the rim tape - I was selling it for 50p as thats how much it would cost to send it - as it could be useful to someone else rather than just throwing it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
