Reply to: Selling on ebay - some people are thick as tulip

I'm going but the wife is not. So if someone comes to burgle they'll find a big fat sweaty welshman sitting there....

FTFY.

Do you live in one of these places where the window cleaner carries sandpaper instead of a chamois ?

Recorded Delivery is crap - Special Delivery is the only decent service they provide.

Well, I did try to tell him but some people are just too thick it seems.....

I always insist that those I deal with on ebay are at least as intelligent as Stephen Hawking.

Sasguru.

Depends if he's in English Wales (anything below the M4) or Welsh Wales.

I'm venturing beyond Swansea this weekend.

Make sure you lock the gate behind you. Some of them managed to escape last time.

Either that or they don't have the tickets anyway and are using a stolen paypal account, which they'll clean out before you complain and you'll lose out

WHS

Funny enough I sold some concert tickets on eBay recently, I sent them recorded 1st class as they were only worth £35.

They took over a week to be delivered, the buyer thought I was a scammer.

Check the PO website - I dont think tickets are covered at all if just recorded.

Of course if the concert is outside the Wales the OP may get no further than the first street light in England! where he will be found cowering on the floor, pointing up and crying 'electrickery'!!!!

Oh I like this game, I likes.

There is a poster called Psychocandy on CUK who is so clumsy that I have warned him that if he ever ventures out of on the road he will get hit by a lorry and die a horrible death. But he is so thick as tulip that he wont care and I know what is going to happen.

That would normally be a plan for the seller, but he'll already know that the OP lives in Wales so will have wooden windows and **** all of any value in his house

Bit cynical!!!! More likely the tickets come through and the OP goes to the concert & on return finds his house has been emptied!!!!

But wife is going and Im not. So if someone comes to burgle they'll find a big fat sweaty welshman sitting there....

Shakin' Stevens on tour again?

My local postman has a habit of signing for the reordered delivery himself and dropping the mail through the letterbox.

Ah. Good point.
