Item prices stay the same, shipping cost varey... with one item one could make, though higly stupid and totaly transparent, an argument but with this second item even that would fail.

As for the Inc links it's pritty standard that you can get something for cheap if you are willing to pay for it with stupidly high S&H costs. I get that sort of things in my mail every other day or so. It's still withing the "reasonable" range. After all high quality packages that can survive a nuke blast does cost a bit one could argue.

I emailed him asking if I could pick it up locally and he said that I could but it would be cheaper not to get on a plane from the USA. So, I said I was asking for someone who was in the UK and...

I'm wanting £90 for the board with or without postage

was his reply. This was all by email, but then he posted a reply to my question original question, about local pickup, on his auction after all the email back and forth we did. The answer he put was, "NO". He needs a spanking. :-(

He also sold a Warpengine 040 for 1 penny but 75 GBP shipping ... to me this seems like a total of 75 GBP for a "Amiga 3000 / 4000 Warp Engine 040 40mhz with 32 meg ram + scsi", in Euro´s that would be 110 euro. Is this a rip-off It´s not really for free, but I wouldn´t want to call it extremely expensive, or is it ?!  :-o

@Effy

And his "standard rate" changed, too.

What's this... an invalid item? :banana:

Also has anybody else noticed the sellers on (uk at least) ebay saying that their location is china or hong kong?

Mainly sellers of electrical goods and pc accessories, I've seen kvm's going for about £6.99 with £16 shipping from china etc. I think all of these ar uk based companies saving on ebay seller fees.
