I sell a lot of stuff from my Mother-in-Law's house via eBay, so when I googleresearch an item, very often the first hit is an eBay listing for hundreds of pounds. "Oooooh" I go, every time and then scroll down and find the same things for £10, £12, £7.50 free postage, all still unsold. If they...

Bought a Chris King headset.Good price and lovely item. Well packed.
