Yes I also get a little annoyed when I see something I have been watching on eBay turn up on a forum, why do you all do it ?
Every time something is mentioned the bids increase and price almost doubles overnight in some cases, which is great if its you that is selling the item, but in a lot of cases something that a forum member has been quietly hoping no one will get noticed ends up on the front page so to speak.
And this is what leads in my view to some items getting overpriced.
So it can have 3 or 4 eBay watchers, then its put on here , then 5 or 6 members and another 6 or 7 browsers of the forum may take notice then a few friends of friends etc etc.
Meanwhile the poor chaps with kids and little money may just feel down heartened that a potential bargain has just became a false dream as the little bargain in the dark corner has the spotlight turned on to it.
