I have had some bargains on e.bay, have a look you never know what you will find :-) kate |

I have had some bargains on e.bay, have a look you never know what you will find :-) Well, excluding the time to do that and the connexion costs (small), you have to allow for the probability of being sold a pup. At a wild guess, I would estimate that 50% of items sold that way are unsatisfactory, so I would halve the price I was prepared to pay :-) But think about it. If you said to someone complaining about a damaged shirt "I will give you a fiver, because you can get one second-hand on Ebay for that", what are the chances of them taking offence? Not merely will that make them more likely to pursue legal action, if a judge agrees that the offer is offensive, any "without prejudice" becomes void. That is why I said that the WORST thing was to make the person an insulting offer, such as a fiver (at least without checking the shirt). Now, if I were wearing my gardening clothes, not merely would an offer of a quid be excessive, I almost certainly wouldn't notice a bit of ink :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
