Pretty sure this guy on ebay doesn't even realise he's selling an original Tubescreamer.

Juan and Jamal are identical twins.

So once you've seen Juan, you've seen Jamal.

Racial profiling.

why write to the seller informing him what he had?

it says on the pedal what it is.  if he cant be bothered to research it;  that's his look out.

Turns out no, it seems that if someone selling for personal gain doesn't do their research, then all people who are aware of what it truly might be worth are duty bound to tell them. 
Alternatively if you bag a bargain in a charity shop, feel free to brag about it.

amen.

i feel more duty bound to inform the seller that he cant spell.

if the pedal didn't state what it was on it, then i might understand;  but the seller couldn't even put that in the ebay item listing description. that's his problem.  the lazy/stupid twonk.

this is why there aren't any bargains to be had any more.  thanks, beef.

beef should work for ebay.  he could write a seller's listing guide. ''this is how to describe your item:  write the name of the product in the little box''. ''would you like me to hold your hand - or undo your flies when you need a wee?''

I bet you're sorry you made this thread now @Beef .

Yeah, frankly, it's just not on. There aren't any bargains any more, and you're welcome for that. If anyone sees any more potential bargains please do get in touch, I will sort that shit right out. Not on my watch.

Mark my words, you thrifty fuckers, I will end you. The only bargain you'll be getting is... the... one that's more than you bargained for...

RRP or bust.

Oh and @bingefeller my only regret is that I haven't been vigilant enough to stop all the other bargains. Someone, somewhere is getting a cracking deal, and that keeps me awake at night.

@Beef ;;; 

I heard a couples of rumours about you.  maybe you can confirm whether they're true or not.

1).  you started the ''nanny state''.

2).  you used to volunteer at an animal rescue sanctuary but nowadays you instead spend your Sunday mornings going around car boot sales telling the vendors that they're pricing their stuff too low.

Beef

I wish - I start to convulse violently if I'm within 15ft of a car boot sale. 

Also, those hedgehogs aren't going to save themselves.

those poor car boot sale vendors being taken advantage of due to your failure to give them pricing advice.  you horrid person,

we won't be getting any ''deals'' on ebay anymore due to @Beef.   no ''cheap as chips''.

@Beef next venture is to break free market capitalism. I think he's a Soviet infiltrator.  Where's McCarthy when you need him.

when that horse gets to the knackers yard for cat meat we can be confident @Beef will be at hand to ensure it goes for a fair market price.

I believe it's destined for the meat counter at Asda.

well, the chavs need something to eat - otherwise they'll just abuse the food banks.
