Ha! Filter Won On Ebay!

Ludwig Venter · Feb 14, 2010

I just won the bid on this filter on Bid or buy (SA ebay equivalent)... for a mediocre R525... (retail = R2000)... I am also leading the bid on 4 more (smaller) filters from the same seller... These auctions are going to make me buy things I don't really need... It is habit forming... I must be carefull.... But then,,, they are such bargains!

WTG Ludwig,
Everyone deserves a golden bargain on Ebay at some point, unfortunately I've still to accomplish this.
Maybe one day I'll get something for a song
Good Luck with the rest of your bids

About 2 weeks ago, I bid on a marine tank 3m x 1m x 1m with all accesories and live rock plus a coupla fish (Including Turkeyfish and surgeons and triggerfish), for R3,500,,, setup was worth R25,000, but no ways I could've collected or set up on my side.... I was so pleased that someone outbid me 20 minutes before closing.... (close shave)

You are right, and I am concerned... Anyone dares to outbid me, and I immediately retalliate with a counter bid.... even if I go above the retail, just to show him/her a point... I must be careful.

There... Bids just closed and I won all 6 bids that I entered for... Got myself 4 small filters, the Eheim and 4 heaters for only R1,300.... new, they would collectively sell for about R5,500. I just have to stay away from that website now.
