OK so i'll probably get into trouble with Ebay for writing this but I believe it has to be said . . The prices of certain items on Ebay are getting RIDICULOUS!

Don't get me wrong. I luv Ebay, I'm a small-time seller myself and I truly believe that everything I've sold has been at either bargain or reasonable prices!

I live in Durham City and when I was a kid Durham Market was a great place to find a bargain. Now it's not (In my opinion!) The prices are usually not just AS expensive as local shops, they are actually MORE expensive & that is exactly what is happening on Ebay!

Fair enough, there are still bargains to be found & i'm not against anyone making a reasonable profit on sales (hey that's why we do it!) But sellers need to 'Price-check' their items befor listing them. As a buyer too, I ALWAYS check other sites before bidding, it's just common sense! Let me give you a few examples...

Ebay sellers need to get more realistic with their prices otherwise people will buy elsewhere!
