I surely cannot be the only person that has noticed this, People tend to think Ebay is the cheapest place to shop & i'm sure this i correct in most cases BUT! i see do a lot of people selling things for more money than that the shops charge.

My examples are formula 1 items i see many people selling a metal 3D chrome keyring myself included, but why do the others claim that the RRP is £34.99? have a look at the Renault web site the RRP is only £9.99 also the large ING bag is being sold for over £26.99 yet the RRP is only £24.99 & Renault will NOT charge you for postage!

I go to race meetings & yes many shops that are selling on the day ARE cashing in on the fans but if you realy want something that you think might only be available on Ebay STOP think again & contact a supplier directly 1st you might be supprised.

I recently contacted parks Renault for some Formula 1 items from their own catalouge, I asked for an ING bag £24.99 two small ING flags £4.00 an ING mug £9.99 & two phone charms £9.98 total cost £48.96 free P&P

Now thats a good price.. but even better the only took £40.00 & threw in many extras, a team spirit shirt, key rings, mugs & a teddy for my daughter. the big companys will never rip off the genuine fan..

So dont be fooled Shop around. I hope this advice helps at least one person...
