p40ulw Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hi all, I've got a spare on of these (bought an additional one for my kitchen but not suitable) - was gonna eBay it but thought it'd be good karma and all that to let someone on here have it for cost price (plus P&P) if anyone wants it (I believe the cheapest delivery is £5.99 with MyHermes). Still unboxed and all that. So send me a PM if you're interested. If more than one person PMs me by the end of the night then I'll put names in a hat or something so it's fair S. i will be one of the names in the hat please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Glad to be of help y'all Just in case anyone thinks that I'm posing on a moral high horse with this sale: I'm all for keeping wheels of commerce and capitalism turning so good luck to anyone selling them on ebay! I've bought many mispriced items in the past to sell on and I will do again. In fact I've just remembered that I've got several pairs of Adidas Stan Smith's upstairs that I bought for £7 a pair that need to get on eBay. I guess I'm just in a benevolent mood to this forum. Happy hustling everyone Will update tomorrow. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Heya all, Mr NeilP is going to by buying it but thanks for your replies. In hindsight I could have had more fun with this and rather than the 'names in a hat' (which was actually an internet random generator thingy), I should have ran a drawing competition or something with the soundbar purchase going to the person who draws the best picture of a kitten or a puppy. Or something. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Why are you selling it to Neil, who already has two?? He asked for one and was drawn at random - I didn't vet people or check this thread to see who already had them. Sorry Sarnie! S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I have one and gifted one to my missus for her house and have been trying to get one for my brother as a gift. Luckily I was drawn from the hat/generator Thank you Sarah! You're a star and I owe you a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should really have gone to someone who missed out the first time round, just plain greedy imho and not in the spirit of the forum I would have liked another one but did not enter my name for the exact reason above!

There is no greed involved actually and this going directly to my brother from Sarah. Another member asked me to buy one at 30 odd quid and I agreed and he never got back to me with his details. I seen this opportunity and put my name forward. It's not Sarah's fault as she was under no obligation to sell it to anybody and asked people to put there names forward as used a random generator.

Beavis Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I wanted another one for a family member but i still did not enter my name because i was aware other forum members had missed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 and this is why i didn't offer it/sell it on here, as no matter who it goes to someone will be unhappy. so better i sell it on eBay, and everyone on here is unhappy. but its all equal and fair.

Neilp Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Unfortunately Dave that isnt my problem, that was your decision. What you should be doing is stopping people like biccy posting links to them them on the forum for much more with a complete bullshit eBay story and all the others that bought 6 and 7 of them, they should be encouraged to sell them at the price they paid. At least Sarah had the decency to ask only what she paid and done it fairly. I will repeat that there was no greed involved and if you chose not to enter for it then unfortunately I can do nothing about that. I entered fairly and honestly as I needed another. I'm not selling it for profit and not gaining any repayment on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 My assumption was that Squee wanted to spread some forum love and share the benefits that a lot of members mised out on, which was a great gesture especially as there are people on here who not only recieved 5/6 of them but haven't even paid for them. I assumed that Squee was offering it to anyone that had missed out. I also assumed that people who had already got hold of some would see that there were other people that didn't get any and wouldn't want to deprive them further by putting there name in for it. If I'd had bought one, I wouldn't have put my name in for another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 to be fair neil, i bought 2, kept 1 and sold 1, i contemplated buying 5 or 6 but thought it would be greedy, i have no guilt about selling one for profit as for forum spirit goes, ok i might be a bit low on it with this thread, but there is lots of stuff i do else where on here to help members. i have no leg to stand on with regards to rights and wrongs, but i do feel sarnie and beavis have a point. but there was no stipulation that previous buyers could not enter. and this is why i'm happy i stuck with my original decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
