Am I missing the point?

[Good Soil (Pete)]

I spotted this on an internet auction site...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASTON-MARTIN-V8-VANTAGE-...

It's more crisp from fire damage than the toast I had this morning. What good would it be? and why does it warrant 90? (apart from the magic word Aston Martin....kirching I can make a few quid here)........Am I missing the point completely?

Pete, you're missing the point

There's actually quite a large group of people who collect fire damaged hood pumps - it could be a bargain

George - You must have far too many collections! Please post a picture if you have all your fire damaged parts laid out in a drawer like you sun glasses collection.....

It's Pete's point.

Only got collections of sunglasses, model cars and shot glasses. Nothing else as of yet

I don't think that part actually has a point on it?
So no one's missing the point AFAIK.

Mikey...no point jumping on the bandwagon !!

I'm in the process of burning a big pile of wood in our back yard, then I shall be placing the embers on ebay to see if there is anybody out there daft enough to place a bid - it will be listed under "firesale".

Pointless

Clearly I feel things have been virgin on the ridiculous for some while now.

Will you be declaring it's origins

[petecowie]

with the commission rates eBay charge, you can understand why people advertise like this.

Of course..."these embers have been sourced from an illegal fire started in my yard, sited in a smoke-free zone"

I foresee no underlying problems

You're right there. It used to be cheap to sell stuff on eBay.... Last week I sold an item for just over £300 quid..

£35 quid in commission and listing fees

Is this the same place that was selling used DB9 steel brake disks for two grand?
