Strange Ebay purchases.

[Pat Vegas]

Why would someone buy a £5 gift voucher for amazon for £4.73 with 25p postage? Is it really worth the effort. There are countless auctions of people bidding nearly up to the value of the voucher.

Or is again some sort of Money Laundering scheme that I am unaware of.

Like the 'leftover holiday money' I found this very odd. People would pay more than the going rate at the currency exchange :sherlock: There were people buying 50 euros for 50 quid. (pre brexit)

I saw ebay sellers offering the new £5 note for £2.99 starting price
Sold for £4

:hehe: People saw articles of some being valuable so you got loads of people selling them.

'LOOK WHAT THEY GAVE ME IN MY CHANGE! A NEW £5 WE'VE HIT THE JACKPOT! We'll sell this £5 note for loads, then tell you what we do, We go to the bank and take the profit and get a whole load more £5 notes we are rich'

I liked the piss-taking bidders :hehe:
One new £5 note ended with an £80000 bid
The seller asked the winner when he would pay up
The reply was he would pay as soon as he could sell a shipment of cocaine he was waiting to get delivered
