Typical eBay trick, once they run out of stock (despite what the advert says) they just bump the price up to an unrealistic figure to stop people buying them, when they come back into stock the price drops again.

The last set he sold went for £2.99

See it all the time. Seller keeps their "numbers sold" tag which helps draw in more punters. Often wonder if any muptards buy when the price is super inflated.  :stupid:

Racial profiling?!?!? Non-caucasian name doesn't automatically mean scammer. Quite a few have been scammed on golfgti.co.uk and they were caucasian!

Don't understand what you mean by this post?  Are you suggesting that being foreign or having a foreign sounding name makes him/her untrustworthy.  :confused:

The seller has over 3000 feedback at 98% and been a member of eBay for over 3 years so is obviously a trusted seller who is just trying to keep his "numbers sold" tag nice and high (rightly or wrongly). I would have no problem buying this item for £3-£4 (which is probably where the price will go back to once he/she has more stock) if I were in the market for them. It only took me 1 minute to find out about the seller who is obviously not a scammer.
