For the sake of 10p he does that? profit margin must be very low  :P.

I think his main benefit is that it shows he has sold lots of them, as we know people are like sheep, if loads of other have bought then they must be good right!  :grin:

There is always some mug who will buy them tho, even at that price LMAO.

I once listed an RC car part at £56.95 which was a typo as it was supposed to list at £6.95, someone asked me if price was correct and before I could check/change it someone else bought it and paid for it!!, happy days  :happy2:

Guys, saw this thread and thought I've probably found the right audience for my sale.

I'm selling gold plated valve caps. A snip at £2.99, sorry £299!

I used to have those anti-theft ones but they were a pain to take on and off!

I now have bright green (matching SteveP's rims!) plastic caps. Plastics don't get stuck so easily.

OEM valve caps FTW!! I don't see the point in changing them at all.

i used to be very ocd about it, needing to have silver caps to match the alloys (silver valve stems too)

these days i'm perfectly happy with black plastic ones  :smiley:
