But have you looked at anyone else's prices?
EBuyer just seem to be the biggest piss taker out of the bunch.
Scan, for example are only about half of EBuyer's price on a lot of
stuff. And Amazon are still cheaper than Ebuyer

Well, fuck off and buy them elsewhere then.

Already sold half the lot in a couple of hours. Do piss off, you're one
of those sad little trolls that knows the price of everything and the
value of nothing.

If you care to search my name in this group you'll find several
recommendations from satisfied buyers over the years, and I also have
100% feedback on eBay; if you look at the feedback comments, you'll see
I go out of my way to sort things out when they go wrong.

So fuck you and your insinuations, anonymous troll.

ps. just sold another two drives.

I know what the value of those drives was before the flood and the
profiteering started everywhere - a lot less. You would have had to
almost give the small ones away, as you well know. And as to how many
you've shifted - who gives a fuck?

Well, I do anyway. I happen to need one right now and at the price it's
the best option.

Got to play the hand with the cards you have available.

Sorry, you're confusing me with someone who gives a shit about your
opinion.

Obviously other people don't agree with you, because all the drives are
now sold.

Some people will always be desperate enough. Especially when times are
hard. You just remind me of Walker from Dads Army - a spiv.

Are people really paying ebuyer 200-odd quid for a 1TB hard drive? That
seems really sad, because ebuyer are selling 1TB drives in a USB3 enclosure
for 100-odd quid.

That's life, something you seem to be lacking. All that time spent
flying a desk in the Jobcentre handing out the taxpayer's hard-earned
dosh to scroungers hasn't taught you much, has it?

Nobody forced my buyers to purchase. I'm sure most of them were
intelligent enough to do their research and make their own decision
despite you wading in with your failed attempt to disrupt my advert.

Anyone with an iota of intelligence (i.e. not you) will have realised
that hard drive prices are still climbing and supplies are predicted to
become exhausted in the run-up to Christmas, so now would be a prudent
time to buy.

By the way, have you worked out yet that the 'avian' in 'avian
fornication' doesn't exclusively refer to birds?

Classic troll riposte, when losing an argument.

Good el Reg, this popped up today:

"People who fire off abuse online tend to be keyboard warriors who lack
self-control and are fuelled by vengefulness"

"Workman also noted that "when people who lack self-control and have
tendencies to seek revenge especially when shrouded in anonymity" they
tend to reach for the caps lock key and engage defamation mode."

'keyboard warrior' sums you up to a T, moron. Bet you're not so brave
in real life.

Well you're the one that went to the trouble of dragging up the content
of various other posts of mine over the last week or so - or did you
have them all saved up especially for me?

I certainly seem to have more self control than you have (judging by
your various responses). And why would I be vengeful of you? What makes
you think you're that important.

See above for the first two. As to anonimity, I've/never/ been
anonymous on the ng's, and I ony reach for the capslock key when its
needed gramatically

As to me lacking self control and being abusive, who started with the
swearing and abuse? I merely pointed out that I thought your drives
were a bit dear. This has been done to lots of people in this group
over the years (myself included I think), and most people take it in
the manner in which its meant and either alter their price or ignore
the post, you /chose/ to take offence. Heaven only know how you treat
unhappy customers.
