Amsterdam Russ Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 If he sold one at those price I don't think the fees would be problem - and I doubt if the seller would care anyway!
Mrtag Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Absolutely massive IF But I know what your saying!! He Could afford to shut up shop for the Winter!! and go somewhere warm!! :thumbsup:
Sebastian Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 How Can It Be Free Check Out The Listing FEEs for A buy it now with a $1,000,000 price tag!!! No matter how high the price is, it never costs more than $0.50 to list a "fixed priced listing" (i.e. buy it now). It costs $2.00 to list something as an "auction style listing" when you have a starting price of $200 or more. Check out eBay's fees page: https://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html
Sebastian Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) One Cent Is Not Free ! ! :D ...and $0.50 is not "a fortune". It is super cheap to list buy-it-now auctions. The final value fees are high though. But seeing as no one buys this sellers goods, it shouldn't be a problem for him/her. Edited November 27, 2010 by Sebastian
Mrtag Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I Suppose It Is A Good Publicity Stunt ! ! As It Has Been Well Aired On Here ! But Unfortunately I Don't Think That Many From S-S Will Be POPPING Into His Popcorn Shop ! ! And As Stated Earlier Looking At His Feedback Score He Doesn't Seem To Be Braking Any Records On Ebay ! Still It Gives Us Something To Chat About And Pass The Time Of Day!! Pardon The Pun On Records Just Noticed It !!
Amsterdam Russ Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 But Unfortunately I Don't Think That Many From S-S Will Be Popping Into His Popcorn Shop Good to hear it. That leaves all the more for us over here...
Sheldonsoul Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Good to hear it. That leaves all the more for us over here... you must be a millionaire as well then !!!!!! lol
Amsterdam Russ Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 You still don't get it? The guy runs a record shop & these ebay listings are intended to attract your attention to the fact that... the guy runs a record shop!
Sheldonsoul Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 You still don't get it? The guy runs a record shop & these ebay listings are intended to attract your attention to the fact that... the guy runs a record shop! yeh but dont you think this guy is trying to rip people off by trying to sell a mock up sam fletcher emi for £800.00,when its maybe not even worth £20.00

Mrtag Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Excellent - thank you. The Belgians will be pleased... ooh !! So Sorry Spelling/Type Error I Was Rushing To Get Out !! Edited November 29, 2010 by mrtag
Pete45 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) The point is to let people know that the record shop exists. Now that I do, I'll make a point of going to visit next time I'm in Antwerpen. Success! Russ ,dont bother , no price on anything in the shop & when you ask its always around 100 euros& thats for 45 's you can pick up for 20 quid, plus the shop is never open & you have to ring the fone number he has on the door to get him to come to the shop, hes always in the pub on the corner, cant blame him really with all the best of Belgium beers there . I know a couple of Belgian collectors/djs who wont touch his shop. Pete Edited November 29, 2010 by pete45
Amsterdam Russ Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Oh, well. That's disappointing to learn. Still it'll save me a visit. Seems the guy could a rip-off merchant after all, in which case I stand very much corrected

Is there some mental health issue here or simply a way of getting noticed/talked about to market other sales. It's beyong stupid, is the "0" key stuck on his/her keyboard?
Otis Smith Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Has anybody else tried downloading a sound file, I have and all I get is luring pictures of females advertising a russian relationship, also my firewall stopped a virus attack.

Reckon he knows full well he ain't gonna sell it but it does get folk to visit his site. I think you mean two dozen. I suggested earlier that we have a separate moses subforum.
Diggin' Dave Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Allright, since I`m one of the few Belgians on this forum I`ll make it my task to check out his store when I`m visiting Antwerp. I`ve never heard of his shop though, which is a pretty good indicator of how well his skeem to promote his shop really works. To be continued...
